The Key To Success?
The Philadelphia Flyers have not had the best of starts to the season. But somehow, the Flyers stand at 8-3-3, good for second place in the East, or the MassMutual division. With their less than ideal play, one would think that the Flyers would be closer to the bottom of the division. Last year, playoffs … Continue reading The Key To Success?
Oskar Lindblom Should Be The Next Captain
It may be a bit early to start talking about Claude Giroux's captaincy successor, but there is one name that is rising above the crowd in the crop of youngsters that will be here for the foreseeable future.

Sanheim and Konecny Highlight Realistic Flyers Trade Chips
It's been a long time since the Flyers organization has seen a big trade. Hell, we're a few months away from the 10-year anniversary of the Richards and Carter blockbuster deals. But with the organization at a potential crossroads due to on-ice talent and the flat salary cap, the Flyers may have to get creative … Continue reading Sanheim and Konecny Highlight Realistic Flyers Trade Chips
Please God, Not Oskar Lindblom
Oskar Lindblom and Scott Laughton were added to the NHL's Covid protocol yesterday. With all respect to Laughton, and the other Flyers (Travis Sanheim, Justin Braun, Claude Giroux and Jake Voracek) on Covid Protocol, all that is going through the crazy that is my mind is Please, God, please...not Oskar Lindblom. That young man has … Continue reading Please God, Not Oskar Lindblom

Worst to First: NWHL Jerseys 2021
The 2021 NWHL season is in the books. Unfortunately, it didn't end the way everyone wanted, but it was a great few weeks and not only did I get to take in their on-ice play, I got to get a front row seat to their badass hockey jerseys. Any time I get to break out … Continue reading Worst to First: NWHL Jerseys 2021
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
JVR Playing Well, but He’s Still Destined For Seattle
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
The Flyers fall to the Bruins 4-3 in OT
The bleeding started the minute the puck was dropped. It only took 12 seconds for Pasternak to dangle around Ghost and score for the Bruins. That's not acceptable for a team with as much talent as the Flyers, yet alone any NHL team. One of the reasons that goal happened was because AV decided to … Continue reading The Flyers fall to the Bruins 4-3 in OT
