Wednesday Morning Fly By: In like a Lyon
Photo by Tim Nwachukwu/ Today’s open discussion thread, complete with your daily dose of Philadelphia Flyers news and notes… *Would you believe it, folks? The Flyers went and won another game against a team firmly in the playoff mix. They put up six (6) whole goals, weathered a 45 shot storm, and came out of this one with a real, regulation win over our old pal Alex Lyon and the Panthers. What a time to be alive. [BSH] *Cam York wants to work on his defensive game and has turned to the Flyers’ best defensive defenseman to be his mentor. That’s right, folks....

Flyers 6, Panthers 3: Sanheim scores twice in second-period outburst
Photo by Tim Nwachukwu/ The Flyers’ offense had a field day against a hot Panthers squad. The Philadelphia Flyers were hungry to get back in the win column after suffering a heartbreaking loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday, and they did just that against a hot Florida Panthers Tuesday night. The Flyers took down the Panthers 6-3 at Wells Fargo Center, ending Florida’s seven-game point streak, thanks largely to a four-goal explosion in the game’s second period. The game was all knotted up at one goal apiece after 20 minutes, but the floodgates opened in...

Tuesday Morning Fly By: Here come the Florida men
Photo by Tim Nwachukwu/ Today’s open discussion thread, complete with your daily dose of Philadelphia Flyers news and notes… *The Panthers are in town tonight. You going to the game? No? Me neither. Anyway, Egor Zamula will draw in tonight, that’s fun. [BSH] *Danny Briere’s son has, rightfully, found himself in a bit of trouble. He’s moved on to the “find out” stage as they say. [Inquirer] *So it kinda feels like John Tortorella was the real catalyst for the final ousting of Chuck Fletcher, right? No one is saying that out loud but it feels that way. So,...

Flyers giving Egor Zamula another look during Phantoms’ break
Photo by Mitchell Leff/ One of the Flyers’ young prospects is getting another crack at the NHL. The Philadelphia Flyers have been playing the kids all season, and they’re about to give another youngster some additional time on NHL ice. The Flyers recalled defenseman Egor Zamula from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms Monday morning. Zamula, 22, has logged a goal and 16 points in 42 games with the Phantoms this season. Zamula is likely to return to Lehigh Valley this weekend when the Phantoms are slated to play their next game. Flyers head coach John Tortorella confirmed as...

Can Torts turn it around?
Photo by Joe Sargent/NHLI via Is John Tortorella really the one to turn the Flyers’ fortunes around long-term? The Philadelphia Flyers are not used to a rebuild. Throughout their history, the Flyers organization has always held competitiveness at a premium. Being in the hunt was expected, and missing the playoffs at all was considered a fireable offense for coaches such as Craig Berube, Peter Laviolette, and Ken Hitchcock. However, since 2012-13, the Flyers have only made it out of the first round once, in the bubble playoffs of 2019-20. The Wells Fargo Center has...

Monday Morning Fly By: That’s so Flyers
Photo by Tim Nwachukwu/ Today’s open discussion thread, complete with your daily dose of Philadelphia Flyers news and notes… *The Flyers had a bit of a mixed bag this weekend, hockey-wise, culminating in an extremely Flyers ending to the game against Carolina on Sunday.

It’s garbage time for the Flyers, but the kids are showing up
Photo by Tim Nwachukwu/ Playing well, having fun. We’ve just about hit the home stretch of the regular season, folks. The Flyers may not have been officially mathematically eliminated from playoff contention just yet, but it’s only a matter of time. It’s garbage time, effectively, and everyone’s just trying to make it through these last few games to close things out. But despite this, the Flyers have, on the whole, been able to avoid checking out and phoning it in, at least just yet. And not just that, they’ve been able to string together some pretty good...

Danny Brière reveals new vision for Flyers’ style of play
Photo by Len Redkoles/NHLI via We’re not in the ‘70s anymore. And that’s a good thing. Everybody in the hockey realm knows what “Flyer hockey” looks like — it’s a rough, unforgiving style of play characterized by physicality, toughness and a no-nonsense attitude. And to many of the Philadelphia Flyers’ top executives, it’s an extremely difficult style to play against. Except it hasn’t been difficult to play against at all. In fact, it hasn’t been difficult to play against in years. The Flyers have been molded to play this style of hockey since the...

Flyers 5, Sabres 2: Owen Tippett logs first NHL hat trick
Photo by Bruce Bennett/ Owen Tippett is looking like one heck of a player, folks. Following a rough 1-0 shutout loss to the Carolina Hurricanes last week, Philadelphia Flyers head coach John Tortorella wasn’t exactly overjoyed about his team’s capabilities in the offensive zone. “I don’t know what else to tell you. We don’t make enough plays. We haven’t made enough plays. And we probably won’t the rest of the year,” said Tortorella. “So we have to play above it, wait for our opportunities, hopefully get some good forechecking and hopefully bang some...

Preview: En garde!
Photo by Bill Wippert/NHLI via The Buffalo Sabres come to town to cross swords with the Flyers. It’s St. Patrick’s Day, and the Flyers are playing a hockey game against the Buffalo Sabres, who are 3-5-2 in their last ten. The Sabres have been vying for a wildcard spot but, with a few losses piling up, that dream seems to be slipping away. Still, they have a pretty good team in place with another year of development under their belts, and could transition into true contenders over the off season. The Sabres’ star players have been electric this season. (Mt.) Tage...

The Phantoms are trying to get back into the playoff picture this year, they’re putting together a run, and they’re going to be getting a little bit more help. Emil Andrae’s coming over from Sweden and joining them on an amateur tryout. [BSH] *But the organization is also grappling with a big question at the moment, of what has more value, a short run of play at the NHL level, or sticking around with the...

Thursday Morning Fly By: Falling, slowly
Photo by Tim Nwachukwu/ Today’s open discussion thread, complete with your daily dose of Philadelphia Flyers news and notes… *So Tuesday night was a pretty good night for the tank, in case you missed it. Not only did the Flyers come through with that loss to the Golden Knights, but the Canadiens won, the Blackhawks somehow beat the Bruins, the Coyotes won, and the BJs and Sharks went to OT. If the next couple of weeks go well the Flyers could find themselves with a top-4 pick which would be SICK. And now we know when we’ll find out our draft pick fate: draft...
