The Philadelphia Flyers have locked up what they hope is a core piece of the blueline. The team announced on Wednesday, they've signed right-handed defenceman David Jiricek to a two-year contract extension worth $1.5 million AAV. Jiricek was acquired by the Flyers ahead of this season's trade deadline, in a deal that saw Bobby Brink head to the Minnesota Wild. Jiricek, 22, has been playing with the AHL's Lehigh Valley Phantoms since the deal went down, and has two goals and 10 points in 10 gam...

The Philadelphia Flyers have eight games left to make the playoffs, lose heartbreakingly due to a regulation wins tie-breaker, or just fall on their faces in the final two weeks and change. With eight games in 13 days, they have their work cut out for them to get over the hump, leaping over a few other teams while hoping some scoreboard watching goes their way.
It couldn’t have gone any better for the Flyers Tuesday night as Columbus, the Islanders, Detroit, and Ottawa all lost. Unfortuna...
Flyers rookie Porter Martone delivered some flash in his much-anticipated NHL debut.
As they move into their final month of the regular season, the Phantoms appear to be making some changes to their lineup.
The team announced this morning that rookie goaltender Carson Bjarnason has been loaned down to Reading of the ECHL, and Yaniv Perets has been recalled to replace him. Perets has played three games with the Phantoms this season as an injury call-up, and performed reasonably well — his .873 save percentage over those three games isn’t world-beating, but the eye wo...
*Once again did the Flyers HAVE to win last night? No. Not technically. But it would’ve both made a statement and made the road to the playoffs a little easier, so naturally they went out there and lost another game to another Metro Division rival. Rare stinker from Vladar. Recap .
*Ahead of last night’s game we speculated on a few ways Porter Martone could made an instant impact on his new team. In hindsight, how’d we do? [ BSH ]

The Flyers hit the road for a quick trip down to DC to face off against their rival Capitals tonight, and with all the momentum in the world behind them, coming off of two huge wins in the weekend back-to-back, they struggled to continue to build on that, and stumbled their way to a 6-4 loss, further complicating their playoff hopes along the way.
The Basics
First period: 14:59- Tom Wilson (Dubois, Sandin), 18:35- Alex Ovechkin (Roy, McMichael) Second period: 0:39- Travis Sanheim (Ko...

While the news the last few days has been Porter Martone ending his career at Michigan State, signing his entry-level deal with the Flyers, and making his debut tonight against Washington, Philadelphia head coach Rick Tocchet might have let it slip that currently injured winger Tyson Foerster is on the way. It would be a massive boost for this team, if true.
If his reply Tuesday morning was any indication, it appears that Foerster will be getting back to the lineup soon. Simply put, it so...

Porter Martone is going to step on the ice for the first time in an NHL game for the Philadelphia Flyers — it’s something we have all been dreaming about ever since they selected him sixth overall last year. Now, we get to see who he will be playing with in the lineup.
The 19-year-old winger just wrapped up his college career after Michigan State were unceremoniously knocked out of the NCAA tournament, signed his entry-level contract with the Flyers the...
The fanfare regarding the debut of Porter Martone is warranted for a lot of reasons, chief among them being that the Philadelphia Flyers are adding yet another potential top line forward for the future, who genuinely seems to want to play for the franchise.
But in more specific on-ice terms, there is one specific area that the Flyers desperately need help in, and that is on the man advantage.
In the midst of yet another year where they sit in 32nd in the NHL in power play perc...

Cam York isn't having a flashy season at all and his role on the Philadelphia Flyers is still fairly moldable.

*Okay before we get to the thing, last night the Flyers went to overtime (WOW SHOCKING) against the Dallas Stars and walked away with a win thanks to Trevor “Clutchtime” Zegras. RECAP !

With news that Porter Martone is now with the Philadelphia Flyers, the forward joins a list of other NCAA hockey players who, once they finished their collegiate careers, decided to join the club late in the season. While Martone might be the biggest or highest drafted of the lot, it’s not like he’s the first.

It’s happened. The Philadelphia Flyers have signed top prospect Porter Martone and he’s coming to make his NHL debut soon. But, who will he play with during that debut?
Martone is possibly the most NHL-ready prospect we’ve seen in a while, so he doesn’t need to be carefully placed in the league as a newborn baby is laid down on their crib. But, his debut shouldn’t be necessarily reckless and just throwing him into the lion’s den to see if he can manage to not get torn to shreds within the...
