Free-falling Flyers must beat Rangers to avoid full-on panic mode

The Philadelphia Flyers were a resilient team in the first half of the season. Through their first 41 games, the Flyers only lost consecutive games five times, and only one time were those back-to-back losses in regulation. Their longest losing streak was three games, but they earned a point in each of those losses against top teams in the Vegas Golden Knights and Carolina Hurricanes. So when the Flyers dominated the Ducks again in a Trevor Zegras revenge game to end the first half o...

Denver Barkey responds after first healthy scratching for Flyers

The Flyers closed out their quick road trip last night in Pittsburgh, and the closed it out with something of a whimper, delivering another largely disorganized showing on the way to a 6-3 loss and an extension of their losing streak to five games. It was a game from which there were not a lot of positives to pull, but the sure exception to that was the play of Denver Barkey. Coming off of his first healthy scratching of the season — the first of his professional career — all eyes were turned ...

Aston Villa Team News vs Everton: Emiliano Martinez, Amadou Onana, Boubacar Kamara, Ross Barkley

In order to keep pace with Arsenal and Manchester City in the Premier League title race, Aston Villa must bag all three points from the Sunday fixture at home to Everton. A draw would be a disappointing result and a loss, obviously, would be disastrous. Villa manager Unai Emery met the media earlier today, and […] The post Aston Villa Team News vs Everton: Emiliano Martinez, Amadou Onana, Boubacar Kamara, Ross Barkley appeared first on The Sports Bank .

5 burning questions that will define the rest of Flyers’ season

From where we are right now, the Philadelphia Flyers’ season is one that has given us a lot of hope but at the same time, the same old problems have bubbled up to the surface to give us the most sour taste in our mouths. Some promise, something to look forward to as some players progress, but then things about this team that fans have been complaining about for decades, are still extremely present. As it stands it shouldn’t be considered a step back or even the status quo, but a slight st...

Flyers flirting with disaster by rushing the Christian Dvorak extension

When the Philadelphia Flyers announced they had signed Christian Dvorak to a five-year extension, questions surfaced immediately. Why commit to that amount of term? Can Dvorak realistically sustain this level of play? What does the deal mean for the center prospects in the organization? Yet one question stands out, particularly in light of recent developments. Why now? Dvorak, who will turn 30 in a few weeks, is in the midst of the most productive season of his ten-year career. After sign...

Phillies News: Francisco Renteria, Aroon Escobar, Bo Bichette

It’s Friday again. And yet again, I’m writing a links post that doesn’t feature a headline about Bo Bichette signing. Maybe next Friday. Onto the links. Phillies news Francisco Renteria, newly signed with the Phillies, draws a comparison to Bobby Abreu from MLB.com. That’s a good sign. MLB Film Room gives a quick breakdown of […]

Flyers’ Matvei Michkov shockingly defends teammate with first NHL fight

While the Philadelphia Flyers were getting embarrassed in Pittsburgh, Matvei Michkov stepped up to show some fight — literally. Michkov has been more active in scrums recently and nearly got his first career fight on Wednesday night against Peyton Krebs, but the referees broke it up.

Blake Lizotte lined up Denver Barkey with a hit in the neutral zone, and Michkov chase...

Sam Ersson might have played his last game as a Flyer

The Philadelphia Flyers are in goaltending hell right now. Dan Vladar left Wednesday night’s loss in Buffalo after just one period due to an injury — early reports appear to be good, at least — and Sam Ersson hasn’t had the confidence of an NHL goalie in recent games. Aleksei Kolosov was recalled on Thursday afternoon, but didn’t get the start even after Ersson allowed two goals on eight shots the night before in Buffalo. Rick Tocchet once again gave Ersson a nod, in what might have ...

This is Sam Ersson’s last chance to stay on the Flyers

Sam Ersson has had a bad year. When the Philadelphia Flyers brought in Dan Vladar as a free agent last summer, the plan was to have them split the net and ride the hot hand. That hasn’t worked out, as the newcomer has played beyond even the most optimistic of expectations and taken the lion’s share of the crease. It was up for debate if the below average save percentages over the years were a product of the team’s defensive structure, but Sam Ersson’s numbers have remained among the ...

Oilers & Flyers Becoming Potential Trade Partners

When was the last time we could say that the Edmonton Oilers have goaltending depth to trade from? That seems to be the case right now, as Connor Ingram has impressed the team with his work since coming up in late December, and Tristan Jarry has returned to the crease as well after missing several weeks. They also have a smoking-hot prospect tearing it up at the AHL level.  Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, the Flyers could be in a bind between the pipes. Dan Vladar has been excellent as the No...
