Compiling the best Flyers team ever by players during their time with the Flyers. 12 forwards, 6 defensemen, 2 goalies. These are not necessarily the best Flyers players ever, but in terms of the seasons they had with the Flyers this is the best team ever, in my opinion. I know that the Conn Smythe … Continue reading Flyers All Time Team

Andrew MacDonald was the Hero We Needed, and We Were Too Blind to See It
We all owe Andrew MacDonald an apology. Although he wasn't an offensive dynamo, he was defensively sound and one of the best leaders this team ever had. Going back to June 15, 2019 is heart breaking. The cornerstone of our defense was confusingly placed on unconditional waivers with the intention of buying him out. $5 … Continue reading Andrew MacDonald was the Hero We Needed, and We Were Too Blind to See It
Flyers Redraft: 2007
From Vancouver, British Columbia to Columbus, Ohio the Flyers looked like they'd be awarded the first overall pick for the first time ever (I said awarded, we made a trade to select Mel Bridgman 1st overall in 1975). Unfortunately, the Blackhawks won the draft lottery and selected future Hall of Famer Patrick Kane first overall. … Continue reading Flyers Redraft: 2007
Flyers Redraft: 2006
From a hotel in Ottawa, Ontario to Vancouver, British Columbia we come to a very memorable draft for a couple reasons for Flyers fans. This will be talked about very soon. The Pens have continued their trend of picking 1 then 2. Erik Johnson and Jordan Staal were the top two picks, and is probably … Continue reading Flyers Redraft: 2006
Brian Elliott is Possibly the Best Flyer This Season. Why It’s Both a Good and Bad Thing
It's no secret that a good goalie leads to good things for a team. As Flyers fans we have been waiting for a goalie that we can lean on, and it seems we have one right now The thing is that it's not our young, promising Carter Hart, but 35-year-old Brian Elliott. It's also no … Continue reading Brian Elliott is Possibly the Best Flyer This Season. Why It’s Both a Good and Bad Thing

I have German heritage, like a lot of it, and kinda proud of the growing presence of Germans in the NHL. The Past The first registered hockey game … Continue reading Germans in Hockey and the NHL
Flyers Redraft: 2005
After the draft in Raleigh, North Carolina we get to a huge draft that totally didn't have a skewed draft lottery. May make an article about it and a better way to do a draft lottery if a season is ever cancelled for one reason or another, but this isn't all about the validity of … Continue reading Flyers Redraft: 2005
Flyers Redrafts: 2004
From Nashville, Tennessee to Raleigh, North Carolina, we go from a legendary draft to draft with a legendary player. While the 2004 draft wasn't as great as the drafts before and after it, this draft has possibly the best 1 and 2 picks with Alex Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin. I would like to say that … Continue reading Flyers Redrafts: 2004
Flyers Redrafts: 2003
Here we are, the prized 2003 NHL Entry Draft. Going from Toronto, Ontario all the way to warm Nashville, Tennessee. This draft really needs no introduction. It's considered one of, if not, the best draft in the history of the NHL and Bobby Clarke did okay. He hit on our two most important picks, but … Continue reading Flyers Redrafts: 2003
Flyers Redrafts: 2002
We head up to Toronto for the 2002 NHL Entry Draft. This would be the first of two consecutive years where the Florida Panthers would be awarded the 1st overall pick and then trade it to the team with the 3rd overall pick, leading to the 1st overall pick being a franchise player. First Pick: … Continue reading Flyers Redrafts: 2002
