Jays 1 Phillies 0 The best part of this one was that Max Scherzer started and threw 4 no-hit innings, allowing just 1 walk with 1 strikeouts. He was helped out by some defensive play, but he got through the four innings on just 40 pitches (29 strikeouts). Max was terrific. I didn’t think he’d […]
Another trade deadline has come and passed, and the Philadelphia Flyers have subtracted from their roster. It’s a feeling that we’re all too familiar with. The departure of Bobby Brink and Nic Deslauriers, while not star players, signals a white flag– another season come and gone, threatening to extend the franchise-record playoff drought that hangs over the 2020’s like a storm cloud. Last season, we enjoyed the Matvei Michkov campaign for the Calder Trophy for the league’s best rookie, and wh...
After a busy deadline day, the Flyers are looking to refocus and hit their stride for the stretch run of the season. Their lineup is looking a little different, and they’re coming off of one of their rougher games of the season, but here’s hoping this next installment in the season series against those rival Penguins can give them a bit of a jumpstart. Puck drop: 5:30 p.m. How to watch/listen: 📺: NBCSP 📻: 93.3 WMMR Pregame reading We made it, gang. The trade deadlin...
An emerging leader on the Philadelphia Eagles’ defense will be staying in Philly for years to come. Jordan Davis and the team have agreed to a three-year contract extension worth $78 million with $65 million guaranteed, according to a report from NFL insider Ian Rapoport. Davis is now the highest-paid nose tackle in league history. […]
On March 2nd in 1993, Mario Lemieux coined a hat trick when he started his day in Pittsburgh receiving radiation treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma and finished it with a goal and assist in Phildelphia, earning a rare ovation for an opponent in the rival rink during his first game back after a two month absence owing to the deadly disease. Despite losing 5-4 that night to the Flyers, Mario led his
Eagles Question of the Day: Do you wish the Eagles paid the price for Maxx Crosby or are you happy they didn’t make that move? Head over to The Feed and weigh in with your answer and explanation! Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links … Maxx Crosby trade grades for Ravens-Raiders blockbuster […]
The NHL trade deadline has come and gone, but the Flyers aren’t done yet making tweaks to the look of their roster. As of this morning, Alex Bump is on the Flyers’ roster , and an official announcement is expected before too long that they’ve recalled the winger from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. He’s expected to make his NHL debut in short order. Bump, 22, was drafted by the Flyers in the fifth round of the 2022 draft, and after taking a steady developmental route — by way of the USHL...
The other day, I posted a short piece about how the Phillies not winning a World Series title does not mean they haven’t had a successful season. There was a short survey to ask your opinion, so here are those results. It’s interesting that the results are somewhat varied. Success can vary from person to […]
The Jays make the short drive to Clearwater to play the Phillies. We get out first look Max Scherzer this spring. He says he’ll be ready for opening day. I didn’t expect that he would be in the rotation to start the season. I think the odds of him being able to give us 30 […]
It's been 44 months since the 2022 NHL Entry Level Draft, where David Jiricek was selected sixth overall by the Columbus Blue Jackets. Almost four years (and two trades) later, Philadelphia has their hands on their next big reclamation project.

Did you happen to see the lineup that the Phillies put out yesterday against the Pirates? Sure they won in a 14-10 barnburner, but man did that scorecard contain a lot of names that will be forgotten in a few short weeks. Such is life in the WBC spring training. On to the links. Phillies […]
The NHL trade deadline has come and gone. All the rampant speculation about what the Philadelphia Flyers could do before 3:00 p.m. on Friday has been now boiled down to what happened and what did not. The transactions have been finalized. We won’t have another trade made by the Flyers until the season around the 2026 NHL Draft in a few months — technically, they would be able to make a trade during the playoffs if they’re not a part of them, but that rarely happens. We only have what the ...
Flyers general manager Danny Briere addressed the media after the National Hockey League trade deadline on Friday afternoon. Briere spoke about a number of topics including the additions the club made through trades and the waiver wire as well as those who were shipped out of town to other teams. However perhaps the biggest elephant in the room was the status of Rasmus Ristolainen, the veteran Philadelphia defenseman who was considered to be one of the top blueliners who would’ve been traded t...
After a relatively quiet deadline in which only Bobby Brink and Nic Deslauriers were moved, there has been some discussion on what is to come for the one real return that the Flyers received at this year’s trade deadline: David Jiricek. The sixth-overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, taken one selection behind where the Flyers took Cutter Gauthier, Jiricek came into the league with sky-high expectations. He’s played in both the AHL and NHL this year, and it remains up in the air as to wheth...
The last month and change has been something of a volatile stretch for Phantoms goaltender Aleksei Kolosov. His two-game showing on recall to the Flyers went poorly, ending with him giving up three goals on each of the first three shots he faced against the Rangers in mid-January, and being relegated to the backup chair for the remainder of his time up with the big club. He was sent back down for the Phantoms’ last game of the month, and though there would ultimately be another another re...
The Philadelphia Flyers’ 2026 trade deadline came and went without the team moving top trade chip, defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen. Coming into the trade deadline on Friday afternoon, Rasmus Ristolainen was a very popular name rumored to be traded. The reported asking price was similar to the Brandon Carlo deal last year, which netted the Boston Bruins a first-round pick, a middle-round pick, and a decent prospect. According to multiple sources, no team was willing to meet the Flyers’ rumor...
There was so much hype and potential heading into the trade deadline for the Philadelphia Flyers to make a sizeable move for the future of the organization — to move on from a veteran piece that has been slowly accruing more value and becoming a better player. And, well, the Flyers are not going to be making that trade. According to multiple reports, the Flyers are not trading Rasmus Ristolainen before the trade deadline. He will remain with the team for the rest of the year and the reaso...
Yesterday, Baltimore Beatdown’s Dustin Cox wrote about the Ravens as a potential landing spot for A.J. Brown. The supposedly-disgruntled Eagles wide receiver has been the subject of endless trade rumors in recent weeks, but a deal seems unlikely to come together anytime soon. Simply put, the financials are virtually unworkable from Philly’s end until June […]
There is one thing I would suggest Phillies fans, myself included, do more of this year. Zoom out. Here in Philly, we can be a bit myopic when it comes to our sports teams. We are immersed in the day-to-day, week-to-week, monthly and yearly frustrations that come with following a baseball team with great intensity, […]
The Flyers pulled the trigger on a trade before Friday’s trade deadline, sending fourth-liner and enforcer Nic Deslauriers to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for a seventh-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft. Although the club didn’t make the announcement official, various sources confirmed the news beforehand. There was speculation Deslauriers as well as defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen would be sitting out last night’s game against Utah as a “roster management” decision. Basically, you wo...
The Philadelphia Flyers are selling at the trade deadline, so far moving forwards Nic Deslauriers and Bobby Brink for, well, not forwards. To fill some spots they created in the lineup, the Flyers turned to the waiver wire. Announced by multiple reporters all over online but not the actual team at the time of writing, the Flyers have claimed veteran depth center Luke Glendening off of waivers from the New Jersey Devils. PHI claims Glendening VAN claims Douglas FLA claims Reinhardt &m...
The Carolina Hurricanes added some grit with less than an hour to go until the trade deadline, acquiring veteran forward Nicolas Deslauriers from the Philadelphia Flyers , according to Sportsnet insider Elliotte Friedman. The Flyers will receive a 2027 seventh-round conditional draft pick , per Frank Seravalli, in a deal that brings one of the league’s toughest players to a Metropolitan Division contender. Deslauriers had quietly been circulating in trade chatter over the past week as ...
Coming off a blowout win against the Philadelphia 76ers, the Spurs returned home after their Rodeo Road Trip to face the number one seed in the East, the Detroit Pistons. The Spurs started hot, outscoring the Pistons 38-23 in the first quarter. De’Aaron Fox dropped 16 of his 29 points in the first quarter alone. […]
