If I told you two months ago that James Van Riemsdyk would be the team's top goal scorer and point getter, most of you wouldn't believe me. Hell, I wouldn't believe me. But yet, that's exactly what is going on. Van Riemsdyk looks like his old self from his days in Toronto this season and … Continue reading JVR Playing Well, but He’s Still Destined For Seattle

When Felix Sandstrom finally came over to North America to play for the Flyers last season, hopes were high for the then-22-year-old to work through the ranks quickly as an eventual number two to Carter Hart. But upon his transition to North American ice, things didn't really go as planned. He was sent to the … Continue reading It’s Felix Sandstrom’s Time to Prove Himself

When defenseman Matt Niskanen retired during the 2020 offseason, it seemed as though Chuck Fletcher would've had his hand forced and signed a another top defenseman to take his place, right? Well that isn't exactly what ended up happening. Instead, they threw a one-year, $3 million deal at 28-year-old Swedish defenseman Erik Gustafsson who has … Continue reading Erik Gustafsson is Coming as Advertised

It was a decision that I went back and forth with for a few months. I wasn't … Continue reading Coming Out: One Year Later

Well, this certainly isn't how I expected this season to go. The Flyers have opened the 2021 campaign 3-2-1, but the way they've been playing tells a much darker story than their record shows at face value. The Flyers have already taken two 6-1 losses, and the most recent one against the Bruins just felt … Continue reading I’m Not Angry, I’m Disappointed

If this turns into some hockey confessional well then my name is Daniel, and I'm a first time NWHL viewer who is already hooked on the product. I don't really have an excuse for never watching the NWHL before. Outside of it being not easily accessible on TV and I'm someone who is a novice … Continue reading I’m a First time NWHL Viewer Who is Hooked and Ready to Learn

At the end of the 2019-20 season, it seemed as though the Flyers blue line was about to go through some drastic changes. With Justin Braun and Robert Hagg's contracts set to expire and Shayne Gostisbehere's name on the trade block, it seemed as though recently re-signed 25-year-old defenseman Mark Friedman would get his opportunity … Continue reading A Golden Opportunity for Mark Friedman

Last week, we broke down the news of the Florida Panthers and Philadelphia Flyers possibly being trade partners in a potential deal featuring Keith Yandle, and came to the conclusion that the trade wouldn't be beneficial as an addition to the Flyers roster. But the scenario has bubbled in my brain all week. The trade … Continue reading A Keith Yandle Trade Isn’t About A Player, It’s About A Mindset
