When I wrote the other day that the Philadelphia Flyers did not need to target big name free agent forwards in the offseason, I suggested that the organization could free up salary cap space by trading defenseman Braydon Coburn. I did not offer a reason why Coburn could or should be traded, and this led [...]

Whatever faith you follow, be thankful that the Philadelphia Flyers 2013 season is almost over.
The Flyers announced this evening that Braydon Coburn and Andrej Meszaros will miss the remainder of the regular season with injuries. Coburn suffered a separated shoulder taking a hit from the New York Islanders’ Matt Martin while Meszaros tore his rotator [...]

On a conference call with reporters on Wednesday, Philadelphia Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren was asked the status of 26 year-old defenseman Andrej Meszaros. Meszaros suffered a back injury this past March that limited him to 62 games, marking the second time in his seven year NHL career that he didn’t play at least 80 [...]

You can’t blame Philadelphia Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren for trying to snag Shea Weber for draft picks, but what’s done is done. Weber will be a Nashville Predator for the next fourteen years and he’s completely off the table.
Many have been asking, “What’s next?” The Flyers lost out on signing free agents Ryan Suter, [...]

There is no player on the 2011-12 Philadelphia Flyers more polarizing than Matt Carle.
The loudest contingent of fans loathe him while many of the beat writers and bloggers that cover the team think the world of him.
Dustin Leed of The Hockey Guys has even suggested he’s about as good of a player as Nashville Predators defenseman Ryan [...]

Game Six of the Stanley Cup Quarterfinals featured one of the best defensive performances from the 2011-12 Philadelphia Flyers.
This followed five games in which the team allowed three or more goals per game and ranked 15th of 16 teams in goals-per-game (guess which team ranked 16th?)
In order to continue to have success in the 2012 [...]

The report from Tim McManus yesterday that defenseman Erik Gustafsson had been recalled from the Adirondack Phantoms was made official this afternoon. In the last hour, the Flyers released the explanation why- Kimmo Timonen and Andrej Meszaros will be out of the line-up “indefinitely” with lower body injuries.
It was believed for awhile that Timonen was [...]

Earning two of a possible four points on their recent Western road trip, the Flyers were looking for a strong win at home against the Islanders to gain traction heading down the stretch. By all accounts, their efforts to win by a 6-3 margin have helped them take that first important step.
The game did not [...]

The Flyers entered tonight’s game with the Toronto Maple Leafs having lost three in a row to Atlantic Division rivals. Despite grabbing an overtime point from the New York Islanders, there was additional motivation to right the ship before heading into a weekend with games against the New York Rangers and Detroit Red Wings.
In spite [...]
