The Philadelphia Flyers joined the NHL in 1967 as part of the league’s first expansion beyond the Original Six. In their seventh season, they won the 1974 Stanley Cup, becoming the first expansion team to do so. They won their second, and most recent, Cup the next season. The Flyers of the 1970s became known as the Broad Street Bullies for their aggressive and intimidating style of play and were led by Bobby Clarke, Bill Barber, and Reggie Leach. While the Flyers have gone to six Stanley Cup Finals after their 1975 Stanley Cup championship, they have yet to reclaim the glory they experienced during the 1970s.

Flyers’ Case for Extending 5 Major Free Agents

The Philadelphia Flyers have five major free agents in the 2025 offseason, restricted or otherwise: Cam York, Andrei Kuzmenko, Noah Cates, Tyson Foerster, and Jakob Pelletier.

There isn’t a lot of meaning in the final 25 games of the 2024-25 season for the Philadelphia Flyers. An offensive malaise leading into the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament has shuttered the Flyers to the second-to-last spot in the Eastern Conference. While six points isn’t an impossible gap to overcome, it’s doubtful they will emerge from the hoard of teams vying for a wild-card spot, especially after completing a future-focused trade with the Calgary Flames two weeks ago. Still, there’s a lot at stake for many of the roster’s players. General manager Daniel Briere could make more moves before the…

Jets Should Target These 4 Centres at the Trade Deadline

The Winnipeg Jets, first place in the Central Division and Western Conference at 39-14-3 entering a two-week break for the 4-Nations Face-Off, are likely going to be sniffing around for a centre at or ahead of next month’s trade deadline who can bolster their offensive attack. The Jets’ “need for a second-line centre” — or, at least the media perception of that need — has been a storyline for most of their 2.0 history. It’s no different now, despite the Jets being the league’s highest-scoring team and Vladislav Namestnikov doing a workmanlike job between Nikolaj Ehlers and Cole Perfetti in…
