Join Kevin Durso and Rob Riches as they look at some topics we didn’t think we’d be talking about in October on the newest episode of the Flyerdelphia Podcast.

More than any specific aspect of the game, slow starts have been a consistent problem for the Flyers and not just this season. In fact, the numbers under the Flyers’ current regime of Ron Hextall, Dave Hakstol and all the players of this core show that it’s a trend.

The Flyers have struggled with execution and are struggling to be consistent at anything other than being consistently inconsistent. It’s the same old song and dance that is maddening to Flyers fans. “I’m a pretty patient guy,” GM Ron Hextall said Tuesday, “but things need to start going better here.”

While the Flyers honest answers about their play has been refreshing, it doesn’t serve as a substitute for putting in the work and addressing the problems at hand.

The guys are back for another episode of the Flyerdelphia Podcast, breaking down the last week in games. The guys discuss Dave Hakstol and lineup decisions, defense, special teams play and more.

The Flyers 5-2 win over the Devils was an effort the team can build on, simply because it showed what they are capable of when they play at a higher level. To the takeaways in our Postgame Review.

Even this early in the season, the response to a loss like the Flyers 8-2 drubbing to the San Jose Sharks can determine where this season is heading before it even picks up steam.

There are certainly new storylines, but there are a lot of familiar ones as well. No matter how you look at it, there’s a lot to keep an eye on during this upcoming Flyers season. Here are 10 storylines you should be watching.

With the rest of the city experiencing success on some level, the Flyers have nowhere to hide now after the first-round exits. With a lot of their future core already in place, they need to start to show signs of further success this season.

There was more clarity in the Flyers lines at practice as the preseason winds down. Also, the Flyers released a statement regarding Jori Lehtera and updated injuries.

The Flyers have wanted to be patient with Hart and have him take every step necessary in development. Injuries may have opened the door for a chance to make the roster this season. The injuries are not Hart’s focus though, rather what he can control in his case to be an NHL goaltender.

The goalies are the leading topic at camp now with Alex Lyon and now Neuvirth dealing with injuries. Brian Elliott is also working his way back from an injury. That has all eyes on Carter Hart and Anthony Stolarz, two goalies just trying to throw their name into the competition. News, notes, quotes and more from training camp.

The Flyers got off to another good start in Friday’s game, but the finish was hardly similar to the previous three games. The Flyers suffered their first loss in the preseason since Sunday’s opener, dropping a 3-2 decision in overtime to the Islanders. More on Friday’s game from Allentown in our Postgame Review.

With the first four days of training camp and two preseason games in the books, it’s provided some clarity on who the Flyers third-line center options appear to be, based on both the on-ice sessions at camp and GM Ron Hextall’s comments.

It was difficult to find many positives out of this game, a 3-0 loss for the Flyers to the Islanders, and an injury to Travis Sanheim only added to it. 

News, notes, quotes and more from Day 2 of Flyers training camp.

Morgan Frost was a standout on Day 1 of Flyers rookie camp, showing off his speed. That and more notes from Day 1 of Flyers rookie camp.

Ron Hextall’s goal from the day he took over as GM has been to build the Flyers into a Stanley Cup contender. With the roster where it is now, how close are the Flyers to being a true contender?

After Monday’s practice, it looks like Michael Raffl will be back on the fourth line with Matt Read and Jori Lehtera for Tuesday night’s game against the New York Islanders.

After experiencing mixed results in his first two seasons, it is an important third season behind the bench for Flyers head coach Dave Hakstol.

After a rough sophomore season as the Philadelphia Flyers bench boss, some are clamoring for Dave Hakstol to be shown the door. Here’s why the Flyers will and should keep the head coach for a third season.

The Philadelphia Flyers face the end of another disappointing season. It’s become a regular notion with the team’s current core of players. Now they must be held accountable.

Philadelphia Flyers head coach Dave Hakstol has received a fair amount of criticism for many of his coaching decisions this season. However, many of those choices have paid off for the team.

The Philadelphia Flyers may be without second line center, Sean Couturier for some time. How long should you expect the center to be gone and what options do the Flyers have to fill the void?
