The Philadelphia Flyers entered training camp with an open competition in the crease. Sam Ersson, who started 94 games over the last two seasons, was the presumed starter — or at least 1A in the tandem — with free-agent addition Daniel Vladar competing with him for starts.
Well, Vladar looked better than Ersson in the preseason, and that earned him the starting nod on opening night against the Panthers. Since then, Ersson and Vladar have alternated starts through the Flyers’ first five ga...

*For pretty much a full 60 on Saturday night the Flyers looked kinda crappy in a low-scoring slog against the Minnesota Wild, and then they just went out there and won it in overtime. It was… wild. RECAP !

It’s the second week of the season, and the team’s centers have been taking center (ha!) stage in all three games: a victory in a rematch over the Florida Panthers, a snooze of a loss to the Winnipeg Jets, and a tight overtime win against the Minnesota Wild. That puts the Flyers at 2-1-0 on the week, with all three games played at the Wells Far – er, Xfinity Mobile Arena. That’s not too shabby a start for a Philadelphia Flyers team that wasn’t expected to do much by the general hockey media sp...

The San Jose Sharks are looking to bring in some young defenseman who will fit with what they're trying to build for the future. The team wants to build the defense similar to what the forward group looks like and have more options that they can feel confident in. San Jose has many UFAs after this season, and some, if not all of them, are going to be dealt this season as rentals. This includes John Klingberg, Mario Ferraro, Timothy Liljegren, Nick Leddy, and Vincent Desharnais. Sticking around...

According to the broadcast, the last time that Michigan State beat Boston University in Boston was all the way back in 1958. At least that was the case until last night. After splitting their season-opening series with the University of New Hampshire Wildcats, the Spartans faced a much tougher opponent in the top-ranked Terriers. It also meant that Porter Martone and Shane Vansaghi would face fellow Flyers prospects Carter Amico, Jack Murtagh, and Owen McLaughlin.
Vansaghi was one of the ...

The Philadelphia Flyers might be making a trade sometime soon and there’s already a team poking around depth defenseman Egor Zamula.
According to Daily Faceoff’s Anthony Di Marco, the Calgary Flames are looking to make an addition on their blue line and specifically on the left side. And even more specifically, someone who is young and also has some size to him. Someone who checks all of those boxes is Zamula and he has been already linked to the Flames.
Sounds like the #flames a...

The Philadelphia Flyers have just one win in their first four games, and they’ve been struggling to score. They’ve been held to three goals or fewer against manned nets thus far, and barely got a second goal on the board while taking just 17 shots against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night.
Sean Couturier, Bobby Brink, and Owen Tippett are the only players with multiple goals so far this season, while Travis Sanheim, Tyson Foerster, Noah Cates, Christian Dvorak, and Matvei Michkov all ha...

The Philadelphia Flyers had nearly three full seasons of John Tortorella behind the bench, and for a good portion of that time, the Flyers were a hockey team surrounded by an ongoing soap opera. What was the fiery Tortorella going to do next? Who would he put in the doghouse? Who would he scratch? Who would find themselves benched? What would he do with his goaltenders not just from game-to-game, but period-to-period? All kinds of questions that didn’t deter Flyers general manager Danny Briere...

The Philadelphia Flyers might have played one of the most visually off-putting games of hockey as they lost 5-2 against the Winnipeg Jets Thursday night, but there was a small glimmer of hope for some excitement in the future.
For a brief 58 seconds, Rick Tocchet threw out a forward line combination that could be seen as putting all his eggs in one basket but it went beyond that. The trio was dominating possession — doing everything that Tocchet has preached all preseason long about what ...

Saturday night’s game was one of those that the Carolina Hurricanes needed to win. There was a lot of good, but it’s still evident the Canes have more work to do, especially in the defensive end. Carolina started on time and jumped out to an early double-digit shot lead. Despite the good start, the Hurricanes […]

It’s nice that the folks at ESPN felt that the season opener for the Hurricanes warranted being carried on a national platform, and the game sure delivered. While several can complain about the fact that it was on ESPN’s streaming service, at least it meant they were able to show the entirety of the Storm […]

The Anaheim Ducks made a shocking trade Monday evening sending young defenseman Jamie Drysdale and their own 2025 2nd Round pick to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for the rights to forward Cutter Gauthier. It was a move that caught both fanbases and everyone else around the league by complete surprise and could change the trajectory of both organizations over the next several years. We asked our staff for their thoughts on some of the more pressing questions to come out of this deal to se...
