Let’s Say the NHL Draft Lottery is Rigged, do the Flyers Stand a Chance?

The NHL entry draft lottery is one of the most overthought, sketchy systems in sports today theoretically designed to deter teams from tanking. In the process, the shady nature in which the selections are determined has always led to more questions than answers, and the term "rigged" gets throw around from time to time. If … Continue reading Let’s Say the NHL Draft Lottery is Rigged, do the Flyers Stand a Chance?

Keep, Buyout or Trade Kevin Hayes

Kevin Hayes became one of the de facto faces of the franchise upon his arrival, so much so that it seems roster moves were made specifically to cater to Hayes like signing Keith Yandle and trading for Cam Atkinson. Though a string of unfortunate luck and injuries post-2020 playoff bubble has seen him fall out … Continue reading Keep, Buyout or Trade Kevin Hayes

The Blank Check That Bounced

To say that Flyers fans are disappointed and downright pissed with the "Aggressive Retool" maneuvered by GM Chuck Fletcher early into this offseason... would be an understatement. Let's throw it back to January where the Flyers season had already been over for two months. Aiming to combat worries from fans near and far, a press … Continue reading The Blank Check That Bounced

Ron Hextall…Bad GM, Badass Goalie

It was recently brought to light that Ron Hextall made some very bad decisions as the Flyers General Manager. Do these bad choices truly tarnish his legacy as a goaltender? I understand cancel culture, and there are times when it is appropriate (yes,I am looking at you, Evander Kane...you and Burt's eyebrows) but I have … Continue reading Ron Hextall…Bad GM, Badass Goalie

Sandstrom’s Impressive Debut Not Enough to Keep the Sharks From Biting

The Flyers managed to steal a point in a back-to-back situation against the San Jose Sharks last night thanks to the terrific play of Felix Sandstrom in his NHL debut. Falling 3-2 in overtime after a goal from Tomas Hertl with 30 seconds left, the Flyers now have points in their last seven games and … Continue reading Sandstrom’s Impressive Debut Not Enough to Keep the Sharks From Biting

If Ben Simmons was a Flyer

It is a Flyers Game Day, and I should be reading about my boys in Orange and Black on Social Media. Unfortunately, every form of Social Media has turned into the Ben Simmons show, and that show is seriously an embarassment. Stories of the 76ers superstar wanting a trade have swirled for months. He apparently … Continue reading If Ben Simmons was a Flyer

Is Having Fans Back Really Good for the Flyers?

Fans were allowed back on Broad Street for Sunday nights Flyers game versus the Caps. Some very lucky fans were finally able to be in the Wells Fargo Center after a year; the tickets were expensive and hard to come by; I would have given just about anything to have that chance. Alas, I was … Continue reading Is Having Fans Back Really Good for the Flyers?

A Long Overdue Apology to Eric Lindros

Eric Lindros was on my mind yesterday, so much so that I called a co-worker Eric Lindros when speaking about him. In all fairness, his name is similar, he is a hockey player, and the co-worker I was speaking to was trying my patience at the end of the day, but 88 was on my … Continue reading A Long Overdue Apology to Eric Lindros
