Flyers send Emil Andrae back down to AHL, again

The Philadelphia Flyers have made a roster move that not many fans will agree with and it involves young defenseman Emil Andrae. Announced by the team on Friday afternoon, the Flyers have sent Andrae back down to the AHL’s Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Andrae played just one game since his recall a few days ago, where he played over 15 minutes against the Nashville Predators in a fairly solid win for the team. In addition to the Andrae news, the Flyers have recalled center Jacob Gaucher fr...

Oilers Rumors: Cap Clearing Moves Coming Shortly

The Edmonton Oilers seem to be in great hands with general manager Stan Bowman as he has made almost all solid moves since joining the team. Nobody can bat 1000, but he also doesn't sit still and let things play out when there are obvious issues. The Oilers don't have much cap space to work with this season, but will have plenty to utilize in the offseason. But that is a long way away and Edmonton is a Stanley Cup contender again, even if they don't look like it quite yet. To get there, some m...

10 takeaways from Flyers’ first 10 games of 2025-26 season

The Philadelphia Flyers are officially 10 games into the 2025-26 campaign. For those who enjoy numbers, that means about 12.2% of the regular season is already in the rearview. With 10 games in the books, the Flyers have provided enough of a sample size for one to reasonably gauge what they are (and could become) as a hockey team. So far, there’s good news and bad news. The bad news is the Flyers still have a ways to go before becoming a legitimate Stanley Cup contender. The good new...

The 2025-26 Philadelphia Flyers as Halloween movies

It’s Halloween and you know what that means – horror movies! I thought it would be fun to assign a horror or Halloween movie to each Flyer. Well, most of the Philadelphia Flyers. It’s a lot to pick stuff for guys like Rodrigo Abols and Noah Juulsen!  Rick Tocchet – The Faculty The 1998 sci-fi horror flick The Faculty is all about defying authority figures, as a group of high school students see their teachers replaced by aliens. Now I am not remotely accusing Rick Tocchet and his coh...

Oilers Aren't Getting Hyman Back Just Yet

The Edmonton Oilers have been without Zach Hyman for the entire season thus far and are 5-4-3 on the season. There have already been a ton of line combinations used throughout the lineup this season. When the veteran returns, lines should stabilize a bit, but so should the power play. Surprisingly, yet unsurprisingly, the Oilers have the third-best power play in the NHL at 30.3%, despite the absence of Hyman. David Tomasek has filled in for him, and although Hyman makes more of an impact on th...

The centerpiece of the return for the Sabres in the trade that sent Sam Reinhart to the Florida Panthers in 2021,...

Habs analyst  Shaun Starr and insider Marco D'Amico have posited their list of dream 2C targets for the Canadiens... some more dream...
