Flyers Prospects Shine at Memorial Cup

Flyers Prospects Shine at Memorial Cup

June 2nd, 2018 Over the past few years, all of the talk around the Philadelphia Flyers has been about their slow approach at rebuilding the franchise. The Flyers and rebuild were two words that had never been used in the same sentence over the past 20 years. With past general managers, the mandate was to spend whatever was needed to build a Stanley Cup...
Excitement Brewing on Broad Street

Excitement Brewing on Broad Street

May 5th, 2018 Despite an early exit in the 2018 Stanley Cup playoffs, Philadelphia Flyers fans have a lot to be excited about. Sure, the season didn’t end the way they wanted it to; however, the reinforcements are close. Reflecting on the 2017-18 season, the Flyers were simply not consistent enough. They had competent NHL players just couldn’t...
Patrick’s Successful Rookie Campaign

Patrick’s Successful Rookie Campaign

April 5th, 2018 As a top draft pick, the cynics will always exist. There are going to be fans that will continually look for more and never be impressed no matter how well you do. In the early part of the season, Philadelphia Flyers 2017 second overall pick, Nolan Patrick was criticized on multiple occasions because he wasn’t producing at a level...
Flyers Sign Top Goalie Prospect Sandström

Flyers Sign Top Goalie Prospect Sandström

March 28th, 2018 Behind every great hockey team is a solid, consistent goaltender. Lack of a strong backstop is one of the main reasons why the Philadelphia Flyers haven’t brought home a Stanley Cup since the 1974-75 season. If you ask any Flyers fan about goaltending, they’re more than likely going to cringe. Over the past 10 years, general...
Milestone Night for Sean Couturier

Milestone Night for Sean Couturier

March 22nd, 2018 Tuesday, March 20, 2018, is a date that will forever stand out in Sean Couturier’s mind. Not only did the Philadelphia Flyers forward score his 30th goal of the season in a 5-4 shootout loss to the Detroit Red Wings, marking the first time in his career that he recorded a 30-goal campaign, he also recorded his 100th career goal. He...
Flyers Sign Youngest Strome

Flyers Sign Youngest Strome

March 20th, 2018 It’s been a busy couple weeks for Philadelphia Flyers general manager, Ron Hextall. Not only are the Flyers engaged in a battle for a playoff spot, Hextall has also been locking up future assets. The signings began with Maksim Sushko, and then continued with Carsen Twarynski. The latest player to be signed to an entry-level contract...
How the Lecavalier Trade is Still Helping the Flyers

How the Lecavalier Trade is Still Helping the Flyers

March 19th, 2018 Based on Vincent Lecavalier’s success early in his career, it seemed impossible that one day fans would say, “I’m relieved we were able to trade Lecavalier.” However, this was the case in January 2016. Philadelphia Flyers general manager Ron Hextall pulled off a near-impossible trade given Lecavalier's contract. More remarkable...
Breaking Down the Flyers' Sushko Signing

Breaking Down the Flyers' Sushko Signing

March 15th, 2018 The Philadelphia Flyers have signed 2017 draft pick Maksim Sushko to a three-year, entry-level contract that will begin before the 2018-19 season. Belarus-born Sushko is an 18 year old right winger who was drafted by the Flyers in the fourth round of the 2017 NHL entry draft. He is playing in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) with the...
