Alex Bump is off to a scorching start with Phantoms

Before the biggest challenges even began to snowball on the Flyers in this stretch to start the season, a logjam of forwards forced them to make some difficult decisions in terms of how they wanted to fill out their lineup up front. Facing his own struggles through those early goings, Alex Bump was left as something of the odd man out, and loaned back to the Phantoms to continue to work on his game and clear up some space on the NHL roster. Though a demotion, no matter the reason, can ope...

The Flyers are full of complementary players without a player to complement

As the Flyers continue to scuffle along throughout an early season stretch that has snowballed into their worst in over a decade, the struggles they’ve had on offense have started to take center stage.  Philadelphia’s expected goals percentage at 5-on-5 sits at just 34.54% through nine games, a number that plunged once again after their nondescript 2-1 defeat to the struggling Red Wings, and is last in the NHL by a wide margin. They have failed to score more than two goals in a game ...

Travis Konecny is far from the Flyers’ biggest problem — and trading him won’t help

There are a lot of problems with the Philadelphia Flyers right now. From top to bottom, you can point to nearly every member of the organization and assign blame. Travis Konecny is not one of those problems. And if you think he is, he’s toward the bottom of the list. The team’s leading scorer for the last five seasons is tied for the team lead with three points through the Flyers’ nine games so far this season. Konecny has only played in five of them before hitting the shelf with a l...

Report: Only One Untouchable On Flyers Roster As Trade Offers Stream In

The Philadelphia Flyers continue to find new ways to lose. And they also continue to receive oodles of trade offers from teams looking to capitalize on their poor start.  And if rivals can come up with the right offer, pretty much the entire Flyers roster is up for grabs, according to Anthony Di Marco of Daily Faceoff, except one.  Yes, Di Marco writes, there is one untouchable in Philly, and that's Porter Martone. Based on conversations with team sources, the sense is that forward P...

The Flyers are failing Matvei Michkov and Porter Martone

Back in 2010, Flyers youngster Claude Giroux was playing his 126th National Hockey League game. And none were more important than this one. He was called upon in a shootout against the New York Rangers, with the season essentially hanging in the balance. Score against the imposing and dominating Henrik Lundqvist, and it would be up to Brian Boucher to stop Olle Jokinen to ensure the Flyers got the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Choke, and it might be a missed chance he may never ...

Does Danny Briere regret the trades the Flyers didn’t make?

This summer was all about taking the next step forward for the Philadelphia Flyers. What they actually did was a lean forward instead of the leap that they wanted. Does the team, and more specifically general manager Danny Briere, have any major regrets for not being able to pull it off? Years ago, the summer of 2026 was seen as the specific moment that the Flyers could feasibly go out and get a star so that they can have a leader up top with a whole lot of young talent and very good play...

Friday Morning Fly By: Something’s gotta give

*Folks. What else is there to say. The Flyers lost to the Red Wings last night. It’s now nine losses for the Flyers to start the season. [ BSH ] *It’s been uninspiring to watch, and also kind of boring, as the scoring has continued to look pretty anemic. [ NBCSP ] *It’s the same old, same old, really. Backsliding and still looking around for answers. [ Inquirer ] *There’s a lot that we’d like to see them doing better right now, but there’s specifically more that could be done to...

Takeaways: Flyers’ streak stretches to 9 with 2-1 loss to Red Wings

Another Flyers gameday, another loss to dig into. Despite putting together a nice but of momentum in Tuesday’s game against the Kraken, the Flyers once again showed an inability to build and capitalize on their positives pulled together — meeting with a struggling Red Wings team, they took another step back and let this one get away with them. And the winless streak stretches to nine games. The Basics First period: 17:32 – Matvei Michkov (unassisted) Second period: 4:31 – Anton Johan...

Game 7: PHI @ Detroit

Sorry for the brief hiatus, friends. Had some personal things to attend to. A real battle of the titans is a-brewin’ as the feckless Flyers visit Little Caesars Arena tonight. Two teams. Fourteen games played. One win. Some key injuries, too. The Flyers will be without their leading scorer (their leading scorer in 8 games has 0 goals and 3 assists) in Travis Konecny as well as heralded defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen. The Wings still remain without Marco Kasper (and Mason Appleton and JT Compher...
