This week, Kevin Durso and Rob Riches are back after a bit of a break for the Podcast. This week, we look at the Flyers struggles of late, the question of the team’s identity and what the immediate future of this team is in the coming days and weeks.

Dave Hakstol tried to put a positive spin on the Flyers seventh straight loss. There’s a lot of losing going on for the Flyers. And until there’s a win, there won’t be any silver lining or positives to look at.

Friday’s game wasn’t the first where the Flyers seemed on their way to snapping their losing streak, but it was a welcome sight for a team that had come so close times before and needed to finish. Ultimately, they didn’t, with the Islanders scoring twice in the third and getting the overtime game-winner from Nick Leddy to hand the Flyers their seventh loss in a row.

The Flyers took a two-goal lead to the third period and let it slip away again, as the Islanders scored two goals in the third period and got a goal from Nick Leddy in overtime to claim a 5-4 win over the Flyers at Wells Fargo Center on Friday.

The Flyers dipped into the minor league system, calling up forward Danick Martel and defenseman Sam Morin ahead of Wednesday night’s game against the New York Islanders, GM Ron Hextall announced on Wednesday morning.

If the Flyers current four-game skid entering Tuesday wasn’t bad enough, how about a lackadaisical and lifeless 5-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks to pile on? That’s what happened at Wells Fargo Center on Tuesday, as the Flyers took an early lead that slipped away quickly and never recovered.

Things got ugly quick for the Philadelphia Flyers in a 4-1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks leaving fans to wonder if the team can right the ship in time.

At the quarter mark, where do the Flyers stand now and how does that compare to where they were at this point last season?

Despite the team’s struggles as of late, which has contributed to them moving into last place in the Metropolitan Division, it’s still way too soon to count the Flyers out of contention for a playoff spot.

With the recent struggles of the Philadelphia Flyers, could there be a possibility of a call up for some of the stars in the AHL?

Flyers defenseman Radko Gudas was given a 10-game suspension for his slashing major to the back of the head of Mathieu Perreault in Thursday’s game against the Jets. By missing Saturday’s game, Gudas has already served one of the games in the suspension.

There was finally some scoring from the Flyers, but not enough. In the end, a 2-1 lead didn’t hold up, and the Flyers never recovered through overtime or the shootout in a 3-2 loss to the Jets. Let’s get right to it with our Postgame Review.

The Jets tied the game in the final minute of the third period and claimed the win in a shootout by a score of 3-2, handing the Flyers their third straight loss.

The Flyers road trip takes them to Winnipeg to face the Jets, a team with plenty of fire power as the Flyers look to snap out of their own scoring woes. Game time is set for 8 p.m.

A scoring drought like this isn’t just the players problem. It’s a coaching problem. It’s a management problem. And it’s catching up with the Flyers fast.

The Phantoms are currently carrying highly-touted prospects like Oskar Lindblom, Sam Morin and Phil Myers on their roster. But there is one player who is stealing the show and leading the league in scoring early: Danick Martel.

Devan Dubnyk was at it again. Or maybe it was just the Flyers inconsistent and impotent offense was just being its usual self. Whatever it was, the Flyers were dealt their fifth shutout loss of the season, falling to the Minnesota Wild again, this time by a score of 3-0. Here is the Postgame Review.

The Philadelphia Flyers were held off the scoreboard for the second straight game by Devan Dubnyk and the Minnesota Wild as the offense continues to sputter.

The Philadelphia Flyers will look for a way to solve the Devan Dubnyk riddle with juggled lines against the Minnesota Wild tonight.

The top line’s success has also masterfully hidden a glaring problem for the Flyers early: the lack of secondary scoring. It was a topic GM Ron Hextall mentioned just moments before puck drop on Saturday night, when the Minnesota Wild managed to stifle the top line and expose the problem.

It’s been nine games since Flyers forward Wayne Simmonds last scored a goal. Last season’s leading scorer for Philadelphia might have some worried about his performance as of late. But a drought should not be cause to worry too much.

With his rookie year well underway, Flyers defenseman Robert Hagg has certainly lived up to expectations and has done a tremendous job so far.

The Minnesota Wild handed the Flyers their fourth blanking of the season by a 1-0 final on Saturday night at Wells Fargo Center, ending a short stretch of home games with more questions about offensive consistency. Here is the Postgame Review.
