Wednesday Morning Fly By: Going streaking?

*The Flyers’ win over the Avalanche on Monday was so thrilling (and kind of shocking) that we’re still not ready to be done talking about it. [ PHLY ] *Joseph Woll continues to deliver for them, and he picked up his first win of the season at long, long last in that one. [ BSH ] *And it was another huge showing for Matvei Michkov, which you just love to see. [ NBCSP ] *The Flyers were super shorthanded in that matchup, but they were really able to embrace that often-cited next m...

Flyers’ turnaround gives Danny Briere leverage in trade talks

A lot can change in just a few days. Heading into the weekend, the Philadelphia Flyers were at the bottom of the league with a winless start through nine games. They were dealt a few more blows in the form of injuries, as well, with a pair of playoff teams coming to town. There are still plenty of questions surrounding Rick Tocchet’s longevity behind the Flyers’ bench, and if this is the right group to take the next step on the ice, that’s for sure. However, general manager Danny Bri...

Report: Flyers Forward Travis Konecny Linked To Mammoth

Under the Rick Tocchet regime, the Philadelphia Flyers are under scrutiny from fans for their poor performance and treatment of  Matvei Michkov. The atmosphere surrounding the Flyers camp is one of precarity, as the team is 2-6-3 to start the regular season.  In addition to the bad press thanks to Tocchet's coaching philosophy of giving fourth-line grinders like Noel Acciari top-line minutes compared to skilled forwards like Michkov, the team has explored trades with the Utah Mammoth...

Report: Flyers Eyeing Blockbuster Trade With Kraken

Winning two straight games has made the Philadelphia Flyers ’ roster math more complicated, and according to Daily Faceoff’s Anthony Di Marco , a team source says something is eventually going to “have to give” with the crowd of wingers. Di Marco reports the Flyers could explore trades involving more than one winger to try to find a top-six center, and one name Daily Faceoff has heard Philadelphia likes is Seattle’s Matty Beniers. Di Marco wrote that there’s no indication at this time that K...

Oliver Bonk’s breakout is coming at the perfect time

With injuries to Rasmus Ristolainen and Cam York rapidly thinning out the Flyers defensive corps, the Flyers have been forced to tap into their depth and farm system to try and fill out three NHL-caliber pairs.  Names like Helge Grans and the newly-acquired Hunter McDonald have proven themselves not to be up to snuff, while someone like David Jiricek has experienced both highs and lows early on in his Flyers career. After the core trio of Travis Sanheim, Jamie Drysdale, and Nick Seel...

Flyers reportedly exploring trade market for major roster shakeup

The Philadelphia Flyers have recovered ever so slightly from their embarrassing nine-game losing streak to start the season by winning their last two games in regulation — and one of them was against the Colorado Avalanche. There is a feeling of a bounce back into being respectable again. While the Flyers were drowning during their terrible start, trade rumors were get thrown all over Philadelphia and there was even a desire to just tear the entire team down and start over again by moving...

Rick Tocchet’s Noel Acciari gamble paid off — but will it last?

When the Philadelphia Flyers took the ice for warmups on Tuesday night, there were a few things we wanted to see. First of all, Cole Knuble getting his rookie lap was a confirmation that he’d be making his NHL debut, while game-time decision Sean Couturier took line rushes as well. However, without Owen Tippett for a second straight game, and Tyson Foerster joining him on the shelf, one of the other questions was who would play with Trevor Zegras and Christian Dvorak on the Flyers’ de fac...

Joseph Woll is making the Flyers’ goalie situation much more interesting

Despite playing lights out for nearly all of his first five starts, Flyers goaltender Joseph Woll finally got a well-deserved victory last night against Colorado. Woll, making his sixth appearance of the season, was responsible for Philadelphia’s first (and only) two points of the season during the nine-game winless streak. But no blame could be placed at his feet. And he’s making a case more and more that a possible 54/30 split between Dan Vladar and himself concerning game starts could end u...

Flyers’ next man up mentality drives them to big win over Avalanche

The road through this opening stint to the season has been a tough one for the Flyers, and just as they’ve seemed to get the tides turning in their own play and finally managed to snap themselves out of their historic losing streak to start the season, the universe has found a heap of new challenges to throw at them as a reward. The Flyers have already been dealing with some bad luck in the injury department to start this season, with key pieces in Cam York, Rasmus Ristolainen, and Travis...

Paul Bissonette Wants Social Media Accounts like Flyers Nation and Tony Escargot to Kiss His Ass

Saw this on the timeline: Transcribed: Biz (doing a bit and speaking as if he is Rick Tocchet): Flyers fans that are in Paul Bissonette’s mentions want to actually come and meet him in person. Let him know. Because like you said, Yands (Keith Yandle), there’s a lot of posititivity (sic) in the building, but […] The post Paul Bissonette Wants Social Media Accounts like Flyers Nation and Tony Escargot to Kiss His Ass appeared first on Crossing Broad .

The Flyers Won, the Game Was Entertaining, and Matvei Michkov Looked Great

Matvei Michkov scored two goals in a 3-2 Flyers win over the Avalanche on Monday night in South Philly. He would have had a hat trick if he had hit an open net at the end of the game (1:22) – Russian-to-English language jokes aside, Michkov credited his teammates for the victory. “I think this […] The post The Flyers Won, the Game Was Entertaining, and Matvei Michkov Looked Great appeared first on Crossing Broad .

The Sixers’ Season Opener Comes at the Perfect Time

I’m not sure LeBron James could write a better script for his Sixers debut tonight. The Eagles are already immersed in a lost season after six games. The Phillies had another swift playoff exit before the league most likely enters an owner’s lockout for however long, and the Flyers have won their last two games, […] The post The Sixers’ Season Opener Comes at the Perfect Time appeared first on Crossing Broad .
