Carolina Hurricanes’ post-game ‘rock’ — yes, a literal rock — joins pantheon of weirdest NHL team locker-room awards

The Carolina Hurricanes are taking their entrance song “Rock You Like a Hurricane” a little too seriously. The team released a video of head coach Rod Brind’Amour’s post-game speech on Sunday following their 3-2 overtime win against the Philadelphia Flyers, where he gave away a special award for the player of the game.

Flyers send Alex Bump down to the Phantoms after disappointing start

The Philadelphia Flyers have made the call. After an unfortunate training camp where the player never really showed what made us hopeful of his potential and a start to the season where he was already a healthy scratch, Alex Bump has been sent down to the AHL. Announced by the team on Wednesday morning, Bump is going to now be with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms and it could be for a little bit. Transaction: We have loaned forward Alex Bump to the @LVPhantoms (AHL). — Philadelphi...

The Flyers’ biggest training camp mistake is already coming back to haunt them

Going into training camp, you always want there to be some healthy competition. The Philadelphia Flyers didn’t have that this year. Sure, there were battles among players to see where they’d slot into the lineup, but there weren’t really any questions heading into training camp. If you took a look at the Flyers roster on July 1 after they signed Noel Acciari, the 20-plus players on the opening night roster would’ve been the ones you predicted. Part of that was due to a league-mandate...

Report: Flyers' David Jiricek Already Drawing Trade Attention

Other teams are watching how the Flyers use David Jiricek. Frank Seravalli reports that teams are monitoring the 22-year-old's deployment. One opposing pro scout was disappointed not to see him in the lineup for Philadelphia's first two games. Seravalli called it "noteworthy" that there's intrigue in his game around the league, but he didn't report that Philadelphia is shopping him. Jiricek was the sixth overall pick in 2022, and the Flyers got him from Minnesota on deadline day in March...

Wednesday Morning Fly By: Shaking things up

*Folks, the Flyers are still losing. We have a nice little bonus off day today for regroup after their last ugly loss, and boy was it ever still ugly. [ PHLY ] *And that loss has contributed to the worst start we’ve seen from the Flyers in a long time. [ NBCSP ] *There’s more than enough blame to go around for this start, but it is making us wonder specifically how much blame can be rested at the feet of head coach Rick Tocchet. [ BSH ] *It’s a good amount, but as we said, there...

How Michael Bunting’s arrival changes the Flyers’ lineup

It wasn’t an earth-shattering move. It is extremely low-risk. And it could actually help Philadelphia. Hence, when Flyers general manager (and master tinkerer) Danny Briere signed unrestricted free agent Michael Bunting to a one-year, $1.2 million contract on Tuesday, it answered a few questions fans might have had. For one, Briere isn’t about to stand pat and let the current four-game winless streak continue without trying something. As well, Bunting was one of the better unrestricted fr...

Here Comes Michael Bunting to Save the Flyers

Danny B made a move: Bunting played for Rick Tocchet in Arizona. Brief stint out there in his early 20s before he went to Toronto and became a 20-goal scorer. He’s floated around over the past 3-4 years, playing for the Hurricanes and Yinzers before splitting last season with the Predators and Stars. He scored […] The post Here Comes Michael Bunting to Save the Flyers appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Oilers focused on trade for young Eastern Conference center

The Edmonton Oilers are off to... an interesting start this season. It's already been a rollercoaster ride in just three games. Yet they stand at 2-0-1, so nobody is panicking just yet.  However, GM Stan Bowman is still looking at how to improve the roster, and he apparently has been strongly considering one young forward addition for some time now.  Insider Darren Dreger said on Edmonton Sports Talk that there's a particular young center the Flyers are targeting, though he tried his...

Flyers sign Michael Bunting in free agency to shake up roster

After four terrible losses to start the season that has put a damper on everything, the Philadelphia Flyers are trying something. They have signed one of the remaining unrestricted free agents who has extensive NHL experience. According to multiple reports, the Flyers have signed free agent forward Michael Bunting to a one-year, $1.2-million AAV deal. It is a lever that has been pulled as general manager Danny Briere looks to find something to turn this early-season skid around. Th...

How much runway does Rick Tocchet really have as the Flyers’ skid continues?

After Monday night’s 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay , Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet said a lot in 63 seconds, both in terms of his vocabulary and his body language. He looked royally pissed off, lost for words regarding how inept, passive and just outclassed Philadelphia was once again for the fourth time in four games this year. Tocchet alluded to the fact the team didn’t compete , and outside of a decent effort from the line of Porter Martone, Noah Cates, and Tyson Foerster, nobody really did a...
