Is R.J. Umberger Finally Breaking Through?
December 5th, 2014 After going 17 consecutive games without a point to show for, R.J. Umberger finally ended his long personal drought. Umberger's second goal of the season in Wednesday night's 5-4 overtime loss to the Anaheim Ducks was his first since scoring in Pittsburgh on Oct. 22nd. And despite yet another loss added to the standings, it's something...
Matt Read's Evasive Start, Downright Confusing
December 2nd, 2014 We know what Matt Read can do. We've seen what he's capable of. Entering the current season, the right winger's 111 points in his previous 196 games is the body of work everyone anticipated to continue. But since recording points in three of Philly's first five games, Read's offensive production hasn't been the only area of his game...
Flyers Backcheck: Shocking, Another Loss to Columbus
November 15th, 2014 It's not rocket science. The Flyers knew they had to get it going after a five-day layoff. They also knew the Columbus Blue Jackets had a surplus of incentive to win, or die trying. And while the stars can be found yet again on the stat sheet, another loss to Columbus shouldn't sit well with them, or the fan base. Two Streaks...

Lets take a look how the two have performed so far in this young season. R.J....
Flyers Roundup: Gordie Umberger, Del Zotto Down & More
October 23rd, 2014 No matter the opinion of Craig Berube's Flyers, they certainly keep it interesting. Wednesday's win in Pittsburgh not only deflated the Penguins' early season swagger, but built some confidence in some of their own. Thanks in large part to R.J. Umberger (yes, that R.J. Umberger), the Flyers improved their regular season record at Consol...
Flyers Goalie Steve Mason in Familiar Territory?
October 22nd, 2014 The numbers aren't pretty for the goaltender dubbed, the "Flyers' most important player" at the onset of the 2014-15 season. But is there more to Steve Mason's 0-3-1 record through five starts? Or has his flashes of brilliance through a season and some change with the Flyers been merely a mirage? Regardless of the answer, Philadelphia's...
Hextall Stays One Step Ahead with Latest Signing
September 3rd, 2014 Ron Hextall has done it again. After making yet another move that initially left the public in confusion, the first-year GM continued his slow, yet diligent chiseling of a franchise with more obstacles than the set of American Gladiators. By signing forward Zac Rinaldo to a two-year extension, Hextall stays one step ahead of everyone...
