Every Philadelphia Flyers player as a character from The Office

On Saturday night, the Philadelphia Flyers are playing host to the Columbus Blue Jackets, a game where both teams are on the outside looking in and really might not have much to play for. However, the Flyers promotional and marketing side have made it a night to try to remember, calling it The Office Night after the popular American comedy series (based on the just as stellar original British version). So, with The Office show in the minds of fans heading to Xfinity Mobile Arena, what bet...

NHL Trade Rumors: Flyers to Target Two Goalies in Trade Talk

The Philadelphia Flyers didn't make a move to upgrade their goaltending at the trade deadline. But that doesn't mean they won't be looking to do that this offseason.  Certainly, they're more than happy with the performance of Dan Vladar as the starter this season, but the continued shaky performance of the backups has led the team to consider how they'll move forward in the crease for next season.  Daily Faceoff's Anthony Di Marco , and  Kevin Kurz of The Athletic have both writ...

Screw it – I’m cheering for the Flyers to make the playoffs

The last time the Philadelphia Flyers made the playoffs, I was an 18-year-old high school senior who missed graduation because of COVID. Now I’m 24 and finishing my master’s degree – and I’m sick and tired of watching the Flyers lose. I know there are probably many of you who are much older than I who have been waiting for a Stanley Cup to come down Broad Street for a lot longer than I have – and for that, I’m sorry. It’s frustrating watching your favorite hockey team struggle to be a con...

Beeks signed, Diaz DFA’d

The Texas Rangers have signed lefthanded relief pitcher Jalen Beeks to a one year deal, the team announced today. To make room for him on the 40 man roster, the Rangers have designated relief pitcher Alexis Diaz for assignment. So this is interesting. The news about Beeks being signed broke yesterday, and in our post, […]

Should Knicks fans be worried about Jalen Brunson?

Over the last three and a half seasons, Jalen Brunson has become one of the premier players in the league. He’s a three-time All-Star who has made the All-NBA Second Team twice, is constantly heralded as one of the best scorers in the league, and he’s coming off a Clutch Player of the Year Award. […]

Flyers coach Rick Tocchet praises Trevor Zegras at center

Trevor Zegras had a great season thus far with the Flyers. Most of it was on the wing alongside Christian Dvorak. Occasionally he was a “hybrid” center, with essentially Dvorak taking the faceoff and then the duo switching positions during open play. It was an experiment, then it came and went, and then it looked to be over. However, in the last little while, whether from on high or from head coach Rick Tocchet himself, Zegras has found himself playing down the middle. And he’s looking a ...

Analyzing the Panthers needs after the start of free agency

Free agency technically never ends, but it generally seems like about 90% of the most consequential acquisitions are made in the first few days. We’ve past that point, and the pace of deals has decreased from pouring in to a slight trickle. The Carolina Panthers have been busy, re-signing a slew of special teams and […]

Emil Andrae impresses in return to Flyers lineup

After two games off, Flyers defenseman Emil Andrae was slid back into the lineup last night in Minnesota, and stepped up quite quickly and decisively as a driver in the success that the team found against a tough Wild opponent. Through much of these last couple of months, Andrae’s usage has been, in a word, sparing — with an extended sidelining beginning in the end of January which stretched to the other side of the Olympic break, it was a full month between games for him, and so far he’s...

What to do with Anthony Mantha after this season

If we are being honest with ourselves, and if the Pittsburgh Penguins are being honest with themselves, forward Anthony Mantha was never supposed to be on the team at this point in the 2025-26 season. The plan with him was pretty obvious from the start. At least it seemed to be obvious. That is what […]

Lightning acquire defenseman Ian Mitchell for Wojciech Stachowiak and Michael Milne

The Tampa Bay Lightning aren’t going to let something as trivial as a trade deadline stop them from improving their franchise. While they were taking on the Detroit Red Wings on the ice last night, they were also making a deal with their opponents. Tampa Bay acquired defenseman Ian Mitchell from the Red Wings in exchange for forwards Michael Milne and Wojciech Stachowiak. Yes, the NHL trade deadline has passed, but the AHL trade deadline rolls on until 3:00 PM today. With all three player...
