Tuesday Morning Fly By: Off the schneid

*The Flyers won a hockey game and our long national nightmare is over. Thank the gods. RECAP ! *Alright surely everyone is tired of relitigating the Christian Dvorak contract but here’s the thing… they probably could’ve done something else. Just spitballing. [ BSH ] *Related, the Flyers’ lack of center depth has lead to Sean Couturier getting a bit more minutes than is probably ideal for him at this stage of the game. [ BSH ] *While we’re talking Organizational Choices™, Kurz sa...

Flyers @ Golden Knights: How to watch, lineups, and gamethread

After a truly brutal showing against a struggling Rangers team on home ice on Saturday afternoon, and seeing their losing streak stretch on to six games, the Flyers are still looking around for answers and hoping that a trip out West will see their luck change. They have quite a steep hill to climb here — not only have they dug themselves quite a deep hole with their own play, but their first stop is Vegas to face off against the Golden Knights, who sit at the top of the standings in the Pacif...

Flyers missed big opportunity to test Trevor Zegras at center

The Philadelphia Flyers really could have cooked something up that so many fans have been begging to see all season long but instead kept more of the status quo as they are spiraling down the standings with loss after loss. It is extremely unfortunate that center Rodrigo Abols suffered a devastating injury on Saturday that has killed his chances to represent Latvia at the Olympics next month. It is something you just never want to see and a story you never want to hear about — a player’s ...

Flyers’ 3 Stars of the Week: A first for Michkov while team struggles

What a week, huh? The Philadelphia Flyers played four games and lost all of them in regulation, extending the losing streak to six games. Now they’re headed on a road trip against some of the toughest teams in the Western Conference, and it’s easy to envision the losing streak hitting nine by week’s end. If we could award stars to you, dear reader, we would, because that was a miserable week of hockey to witness. But! Before we get to all that, we have to reflect on last week’s games and ...

Flyers’ thin center depth forces Rick Tocchet to rethink Sean Couturier’s workload

The Philadelphia Flyers are by far not the strongest team at the center position, but they are trying to work with what they got. Part of that is, according to head coach Rick Tocchet, managing captain Sean Couturier’s workload so that he can be as effective as possible. Heading into this season, the Flyers added Christian Dvorak to their center depth, but they still are sorely lacking quality high-end players down the middle. Noah Cates has done an admirable job trying to resolve the iss...

What a Trevor Zegras contract extension could look like for the Flyers

When the Philadelphia Flyers acquired Trevor Zegras from the Anaheim Ducks in June of 2025, they weren’t sure what version of Zegras would arrive. After tumultuous contract negotiations with Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek, the cover co-star of EA Sports’ NHL 2023 was badly in need of a change of scenery. In his first season in Flyers orange, Zegras has found his game, scoring at a near point-per-game pace, and rekindled his love for hockey. Soon, he’ll need a new deal with the orange and bl...

NHL weekend rankings: On the Bruins, the Flyers, and a sternly worded letter

Many times, an NHL season comes to be defined by the dominance of a select group. Sometimes, it’s the Year of the Goaltenders. Others, it might be the snipers who take over. In the first half, this looked like it would be a changing of the guard season . But now, a new contender emerges. Hockey fans, welcome to the Year of the PR Department Statement. It started last week, when the Senators declared war on the trolls and sick people . This week, it was the Ranger, doing what they do best: Writ...

Flyers could target Jordan Binnington to fix goaltending mess

The Philadelphia Flyers are officially in a rut. It’s no longer a slide, a skid, or simply being stuck in the mud. They are firmly in that mud and face an uphill battle to get out of it. While there are plenty of areas that need improvement, goaltending is in the spotlight. Dan Vladar is out for at least the next few games, and even when he does return, the Flyers aren’t going to want to run the risk of wearing him down. Sam Ersson built some confidence in relief on Saturday, allowing 3 g...

Monday Morning Fly By: In freefall

*Folks… things are not going great around here. The Flyers got effectively walloped by the Rangers, who more or less threw in the towel on their season last week, and the losing streak has stretched to six games. Do you want to relive that game? No? We have a recap anyway. [ BSH ] *Charlie also has his own takeaways from that one. [ PHLY ] *It was truly a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad game. [ The Athletic ] *Sean Couturier was upfront about it: “we sucked,” says he. [ BS...

Flyers recall center Lane Pederson from Phantoms

The Flyers have been struck again by the injury bug. With Rodrigo Abols taking an injury in yesterday afternoon’s game against the Rangers and the prognosis immediately not looking so good , the time came again for the Flyers to dip into the well of options from the AHL squad to bring into the mix to help fill that role centering the fourth line. For this, veteran centerman Lane Pederson was given the nod. Pederson has spent the better part of this season centering the Phantoms’ top line,...

Flyperblog: Flyers management pens letter to fans after embarrassing loss to Rangers

It is extremely important to note that absolutely none of the below is real. This is an entirely fake work of satire by an individual who could and should probably put his brainpower to better use. Thanks for reading! A Message from Danny Briere and Keith Jones to Our Fans: We wanted to take a moment to connect with our loyal and passionate fanbase of lunatics. We know and feel your disappointment with how the franchise has gone to this point. We are just as frustrated and want nothi...

Flyers recall defenseman Hunter McDonald from Phantoms

With the news made official today that the Flyers have placed defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen on Injured Reserve with an upper-body injury, and his timeline for return remaining a bit murky, the decision was made to bring up some reinforcements from the AHL, as their current mix on defense hasn’t really been cutting it. In the corresponding move to Ristolainen’s IR placement, the Flyers announced Saturday evening that they’ve recalled Hunter McDonald from the Phantoms. And the choice to rec...

Following a five-game losing streak that saw a combination of injuries, tough opponents, and scheduled losses pile up, a home matinee against the worst team in the Eastern Conference seemed like the chance to right the ship. We wrote on Friday afternoon that the Flyers needed to beat the Rangers to avoid full-on panic mode . Hell, a decent effort in a loss would’ve been palatable after a few str...

Rasmus Ristolainen sidelined again with injury amidst trade talks

Unfortunately, he’s had a great deal of trouble staying on the ice for extended periods of time.

That number will only creep higher as it was announced he will not be joining the team on their up...

Flyers’ Rodrigo Abols leaves game after gruesome injury

The Philadelphia Flyers are without yet another player as center Rodrigo Abols had to exit Saturday afternoon’s game against the New York Rangers after a devastating and nasty-looking injury to his leg. During the first period of this fairly important game against the division rivals, Abols went into a board battle for a loose puck with Rangers winger Gabe Perreault. Initially, it looked like a fairly harmless play but as the Flyers centerman turned around, it appears that the toe of his ...
