It hasn’t been a fun time to be a Philadelphia sports fan.
There hasn’t been much to cheer about in 2012. The Flyers and Sixers generated a little excitement last spring with their playoff runs, but other than that we’ve endured some tough times over the last six months.
The Phillies were a failure in 2012, and [...]

Flyers’ fans can’t criticize the team for not being aggressive this off-season. The Flyers reportedly had $100 million offers on the table for free agent forward Zach Parise and free agent defenseman Ryan Suter on July 1st. Then, the Paul Holmgren signed restricted free agent defenseman Shea Weber to a colossal 14-year, $110 million contract [...]

Breakups can be difficult, especially when they are with someone you’ve been with for quite some time or someone you have admired for years. Emotional heartstrings can be tugged and dismay could ensue.
But in the end, sometimes the best option for both parties is to just walk away and move on.

The NHL Free Agency Period is underway. According to capgeek.com, the Flyers have $11,381,627 in cap space. This number will rise when, as expected, the Flyers put Chris Pronger on long-term IR to start the season. The Pronger move would give the club an extra $4,921,429 to spend on team salaries. Further, teams are allowed [...]

Eric Wellwood showed Flyers’ fans what elusive speed was as he flew up and down the ice on a nightly basis. The sixth round pick had nine points in 25 games last year before virtually disappearing during the playoffs.
Don’t hold his first playoff showing against him. The two-way forward’s ice time dropped drastically leaving him [...]

The Philadelphia Flyers gave up the second overall pick of the 2007 NHL draft and life long Flyer fan James Van Riemsdyk for Toronto Maple Leaf’s defenseman Luke Schenn over the weekend.
Brayden Schenn’s older brother has a solid build (6-2, 230lbs), but he doesn’t make the type of plays that win fans over. Schenn will [...]

Last week the Los Angeles Kings won their first Stanley Cup in franchise history, defeating the NJ Devils in six games in what was a very competitive series. The Kings have been in existence for nearly 45 years and before last week have never hoisted the oldest trophy in North American sports. L.A. has had [...]

The Philadelphia Flyers need help on defense, especially with the unknown status of captain Chris Pronger.
If they want to make a big splash and get an elite defenseman, they could go out in free agency and sign Ryan Suter. Or they could make a subtle move and resign Matt Carle while also acquiring a depth [...]

For the Flyer fans that could actually stomach watching Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday night, it was an all-too familiar (and sour) feeling of not seeing the Orange and Black play for hockey’s richest prize on its grandest stage.
But this year, the taste even more bitter than usual. On one hand, [...]

Sure Mike Richards and Jeff Carter may get the last laugh this year, but they are no more than rooks in Jonathon Quick’s game of chess. Not unlike the New York Rangers, the Los Angeles Kings success can be heavily weighted upon the shoulders of the soon-to-be starting goalie for team USA next Olympics. After [...]
