Just as their main roster counterparts have become less relevant over the last handful of years, so have the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Once the Hextall pipeline dried up, it's been a long few seasons with underwhelming rosters, a coaching change and more injuries than feasible to count. They haven't made the playoffs since 2018, and … Continue reading Expectations for the Flyers AHL-Level Prospects

The Philadelphia Flyers and Detroit Red Wings never had much of an on-ice rivalry, despite NBCSN trying to force it upon us for years during their miscast "Wednesday Night Rivalry" series through much of the 2010's. The most notorious on-ice meeting between the teams came during the 1997 Stanley Cup Final when Detroit would sweep … Continue reading Philadelphia Flyers Trade History with the Detroit Red Wings

There's never a dull moment when talking about the state of the Flyers goaltending. A position that originally seemed like a major win when they finally signed 2015 draft pick Ivan Fedotov and managed to re-sign Felix Sandstrom has been cut off at the knees when the Russian army grabbed up Fedotov before he could … Continue reading Expectations for the Flyers Goaltending

What planets need … Continue reading Top 5: Keys to Success in 2022-23

The 2022-23 Philadelphia Flyers roster isn't exactly the most inspiring group of players in NHL history, but that doesn't mean there aren't line combinations that raise an eyebrow with intrigue. Whether it's the potential of the youth, or the grizzled vets finally uniting, which Flyers lines do we want to see most this season? Number … Continue reading Top 5: Flyers Lines We Want To See This Season

The mighty Philadelphia Flyers we grew up with are long gone. Ever since Ron Hextall took over in 2014, things have been on a downward spiral, reaching critical levels during the 2022 offseason after a series of mistakes by Chuck Fletcher. The fanbase is fed up for a very simple reason- we've seen this exact … Continue reading Top 5: Ron Hextall Mistakes Chuck Fletcher is Making Again

Direction. Everybody's talking about direction. The Flyers front office is trying their best to spoon feed the fanbase their tales of the offseason and how great next year will be, but the reality is the moves, or lack thereof, made during the 2022 offseason showed just how discombobulated the Flyers really are. There is no … Continue reading Biggest Failures of the Flyers 2022 Offseason
