The Flyers made their first signing of the offseason, agreeing to a multi-year contract with defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere, GM Ron Hextall announced on Friday.

It may be premature to look at the hiring this way, but the Flyers opting to bring in a coach considered a “rising star” may not be a good thing for Dave Hakstol down the road. For now, however, it goes along with the Flyers blueprint for the future, especially as new prospects start to arrive.

The Penguins scored three goals in the first and three goals in the second to roll to an easy 6-0 win over the Nashville Predators in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final on Thursday.

The Flyers have hired Kris Knoblauch, the head coach of the OHL’s Erie Otters, to be the new assistant coach under Dave Hakstol.

The Flyers are preparing to add a potential game-changer to the organization with the second overall pick in just over two weeks. But as important as adding a Nolan Patrick or Nico Hischier will be later this month, don’t overlook the importance of a lot of other prospects from later rounds already in the system.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Eagles are among the teams interested in wide receiver Jeremy Maclin.

After Game 4, we have a brand new series. The Nashville Predators scored three unanswered goals, including two in the second period, to take Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final by a score of 4-1 and even the series with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Predators announced their presence in Game 3, getting back into the series with a 5-1 win to cut into the Penguins series lead, 2-1.

The Pittsburgh Penguins scored three goals in rapid succession in a 4-1 win over the Nashville Predators in Game 2, putting them two wins away from repeating as Stanley Cup champions.

With the calendar turning to June on Thursday, offseason events and happenings will start picking up, making it a very busy month for the Flyers.

Oskar Lindblom, the Flyers fifth-round pick in 2014, signed an entry-level deal on Tuesday, according to GM Ron Hextall.

One player who got a big boost from the Eagles offseason acquisitions at the receiver position was Jordan Matthews. While you may not put an Eagles receiver in a top category among other receivers, Matthews has actually been one of the best receivers in the slot in the last three seasons.

An in-depth preview of the Stanley Cup Final between the Nashville Predators and Pittsburgh Penguins, starting on Monday night.

When the Nashville Predators advanced to the Stanley Cup Final last Monday, Peter Laviolette joined elite company. Laviolette, who had taken the Carolina Hurricanes to the 2005-06 title and the Flyers to the 2009-10 Final, became the fourth coach to take three different franchises to the Stanley Cup Final.

Over the course of 50 seasons in Flyers history, there have been many playoff moments. As the hockey world awaits the start of the Stanley Cup Final, we look back at a few.

Chip Kelly has a new job…just not the one you may have been expecting. The former head coach of the Eagles and San Francisco 49ers is joining ESPN as a studio analyst for college football and the NFL, the network announced on Friday.

It was Chris Kunitz who scored the game-winner for the Pittsburgh Penguins at 5:09 of double overtime to put the Pittsburgh Penguins into the Stanley Cup Final again.

2015 fourth-round draft pick Samuel Dove-McFalls is a curious case for the Flyers. As one of the few unsigned prospects from recent draft years, the Flyers are facing a deadline on a decision for the 2015 pick.

If one thing was clear from this offseason, Howie Roseman was going to provide Carson Wentz with more of a surrounding cast to succeed immediately. But there was also an emphasis on the future.

The Nashville Predators scored four goals in the third period to claim Game 6 and advance to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time in franchise history.

Sweden scored the only two goals of the shootout, by Nicklas Backstrom and Oliver Ekman-Larsson, while Henrik Lundqvist made saves on all four of Canada’s attempts to claim the gold medal with a 2-1 win over Canada.

The World Championships conclude this weekend with the semi-final round on Saturday setting the stage for Sunday’s medal games. Canada used a third-period rally to advance to the Gold Medal Game, while Sweden handily rolled past Finland.

There are some great playoff moments from 50 years of Flyers hockey, some of which we will relive in a couple days here, but today marks a special anniversary in Flyers franchise history, arguably the greatest game the team has ever played. On the Sunday afternoon of May 19, 1974, the Flyers became Stanley Cup Champions.

Canada, Russia and Finland all advanced to Saturday’s semi-final round. Jake Voracek and Radko Gudas of Czech Republic were eliminated.

Pool play came to a close at the World Championships on Tuesday, setting up Thursday’s single-elimination quarterfinals round. In all, nine of the 10 Flyers that went to the tournament will still be playing in the tournament come Thursday.

With four — maybe even five — potential defensemen coming to the NHL that will provide mobility to the blue line, the Flyers will be following a growing trend in the NHL, displayed prominently by the two teams in the Western Conference Final.

The final four teams have started play in the Conference Finals and though there are two very different styles of play in both series, the result is the same through two games.

One goal in the offseason was to bolster the wide receiver and running back positions with new weapons for the Eagles second-year quarterback. But did the work the Eagles put in this offseason provide Carson Wentz with enough to improve the offense next season?
