More controversy followed when Flyers’ GM Paul Holmgren locked the future Hall-of-Famer up until the age of 42.
With just under a month until the official NHL Trade Deadline, all of the speculations involving one of the biggest players on the market, Ilya Kovalchuk, came to a dramatic conclusions.

It’s been a slow road back to recovery for the Flyers who, after starting 12-5-1, went on a disastrous streak of 3-13-1 sending them on a free-fall from the heights of the Eastern Conference back to the league basement.

With four seconds left in the first period of a home game against Buffalo on Friday, November 27th, the Philadelphia Flyers scored their second goal of the game to take the 2-1 lead.

The starting goaltender for Team Canada, whoever it will be, will already be facing the scrutiny of an entire country. There can’t be much more pressure than that.
