Trading Schenn Leaves More Questions Than Answers

Trading Schenn Leaves More Questions Than Answers

June 25th, 2017 June 23 is one of the most infamous days in Flyers history. Several players have fallen victim to trades on that very day. In 2011, Mike Richards and Jeff Carter were traded, 2012 saw James vanRiemsdyk hitting the road and in 2014 Scott Hartnell was shipped out to Columbus. Flyers fans joke about the day, but things once again got...
How to Fix the Flyers

How to Fix the Flyers

May 25th, 2017 Here we are yet again in Philadelphia. The weather is getting warmer, May has come around, the Stanley Cup Playoffs are in full swing, and yet another year where the Philadelphia Flyers haven't been in the playoffs. In fact, the Flyers haven't even made it out of the first round since the 2012 playoffs. For a team that prided...

2016-17 Philadelphia Flyers Report Card

April 21st, 2017 The Philadelphia Flyers have no doubt just gone through one of the most up-and-down seasons in their 50-year history. There was a point this season when I was writing about the Flyers being one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference, a force to possibly make a deep run in the playoffs. That all quickly went by the wayside. There I...

Flyers Prolonging the Inevitable?

Flyers Prolonging the Inevitable?

March 31st, 2017 It's been a wild ride this season for the Philadelphia Flyers. At one point, they were near the top of the league in the standings and in several offensive categories, those were the glory days. Just a few months later, all had gone downhill. The team couldn't score, they found themselves on the outside looking in, and there were...
Flyers Suffer a Brutal Tale of Two Seasons

Flyers Suffer a Brutal Tale of Two Seasons

March 26th, 2017 The 2016-17 Philadelphia Flyers' season is one that will not only go down as a massive disappointment but one that could essentially be divided by the black and white difference in play from one-half of the season to the other. There could be an argument made that the Flyers were in a 'rebuilding mode' for this season or even that...
Which Flyers Goalie Should Go?

Which Flyers Goalie Should Go?

February 27th, 2017 It's everyone's favorite time of the year, the trade deadline. In fact, it's the time of year when everyone speculates about the most absurd trades, trading underwhelming players, trading washed up players, and about acquiring players that are out of reach.
