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.

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...
Off to an 0-2-2 start, the Flyers could be looking for help on the back end.

The Flyers have lost their first four games of 2026-27 and haven’t scored more than twice in each of their games.
Nothing is going right for the Philadelphia Flyers. Four games into the season and we’re here left wondering if they will ever outshoot an opponent ever again. They are setting historic records for how poorly they have played and the outlook right now is bleak. Without a potential star to drag them out of this rut, it’s going to be increasingly more difficult the longer it goes on and no one really has answers. So, what is the first thing that most NHL general managers do when their team ...

Let’s talk about some first impressions from the 2026-27 Pittsburgh Penguins. After playing a nearly flawless 60 minutes in the season opener against the Philadelphia Flyers, the Penguins won a 6-5 overtime game against the Montreal Canadiens that saw them let a 5-1 slip away, and then played what was easily their sloppiest and ugliest […]
The Philadelphia Flyers are off to one of the most lopsided winless season starts in NHL history.
It seems like every game the Flyers play in Tampa is a low-scoring slop fest, and Monday night was no different. They mustered 14 shots in a 4-1 loss that would have been blown open in the second period if not for the play of Dan Vladar, who stood on his head and gave the […] The post Rick Tocchet Says it’s His Fault that Flyers are “Way Too Comfortable” and Not Competing appeared first on Crossing Broad .

*Well, the Philadelphia Flyers once again lost a hockey game. And once again they lost one where they were heavily outplayed in just about every single category. The Tampa Bay Lightning hosted our Flyers to start this road trip and proceeded to beat them by a score of 4-1. The Flyers were a miserable watch but just in case you want to really dive deep into that terrible game, here are some takeaways: [BSH] *David Jiricek had highlight reel of brutal mistakes and the best one was when he w...
The Philadelphia Flyers made the Stanley Cup Playoffs in rather impressive fashion last year. They finished with nearly 100 points as goalie Dan Vladar helped lead a resilient group to the postseason. Things have not gone their way early on in 2026-27, though. The Flyers picked up their fourth straight loss on Monday night. They […] The post Flyers’ Dan Vladar drops ‘not fun’ truth bomb on winless start after Lightning loss appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Patience is a virtue. In the NHL, it can certainly be seen as a positive — some players just take longer to develop and the real patient teams who want to carve a player into someone who makes an impact on the ice most shifts, can sometimes be rewarded for their patience. But it gets to a point. And even though he is still just 22 years old, the Philadelphia Flyers’ patience for David Jiricek to play at an adequate level might already be running thin. It might not result in him getting pl...
The Philadelphia Flyers’ start to the 2026-27 season hasn’t exactly inspired much confidence. Not only did they lose their first three games of the campaign, but they also looked completely lifeless in the process, being outscored 13-4 and outshot 122-62 in those outings. Monday night presented an opportunity to stop the bleeding. But against a star-studded Tampa Bay Lightning squad, the outcome was easy to predict before the puck was even dropped. The Flyers are an instructor at the loca...
The offense is slowly starting to find its footing for the Tampa Bay Lightning. For the second straight game they piled up the scoring chances, and while it was a one-goal game late, a strong third period pushed them to a 4-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. Pontus Holmberg and Ilya Mikheyev each had a goal and an assist while Andrei Vasilevskiy made 13 saves on 14 shots. Brayden Point and Brandon Hagel added goals while Tyson Foerster was credited with the lone Flyers’ goal. Max Crozier...

Barkey is set to return to the lineup for Monday’s game against the Lightning after missing the first three games of the season.
All we know right now when it comes to the Philadelphia Flyers is pain. They have started the season about as bad defensively as you could realistically be in the NHL and the offense is having a miserable time trying to create absolutely anything. Nothing is working except Joseph Woll stealing two loser points so the Flyers aren’t 0-3-0. Now, they’re starting a road trip in Tampa, Florida of all hellish places, and facing a Lightning team that will surely give them a big test yet again. ...
The Philadelphia Flyers' power play has been one of the worst special-teams units in the NHL over the past five seasons. Early signs in 2026-27 suggest these problems could continue, and GM Daniel Briere may need to find a way to shake things up.
