On a new YWT Podcast episode, remembering Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau and a preview of Flyers rookie camp this week.

South Jersey-born NHL star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew were killed after being struck by a vehicle while riding bikes on Thursday evening in Oldmans Township, NJ.

The collapse continued for the Flyers on Saturday, as they suffered a 6-2 defeat to the Columbus Blue Jackets for their seventh straight loss.

The Flyers are right back on the ice on Saturday night, looking to snap a six-game losing streak against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The Flyers lost for the fourth straight game and sixth time in the last seven games, as the Blue Jackets rallied for a 3-2 shootout win.

The Flyers return home trying to snap a three-game losing streak against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday night.

The Flyers open up the 2023-24 regular season on the road, facing off against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday night.

Danny Briere’s first trade as Flyers GM was a blockbuster, moving Ivan Provorov in a three-team trade and acquiring three players and three draft picks. It backed up Briere’s “open for business” comments ahead of a busy offseason.

The Flyers take the ice at Wells Fargo Center for the final time in the 2022-23 season on Tuesday night against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Since returning from the injury on Dec. 1, Konecny has points in eight of 10 games, including a two-goal showing on Tuesday night as the Flyers claimed a 5-3 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets at Wells Fargo Center.

The 2022 slate of games at Wells Fargo Center closes with one more contest on Tuesday night. The Flyers will take on the only team below them in the Eastern Conference standings, the Columbus Blue Jackets.

A pair of comeback attempts were not completed, as the Columbus Blue Jackets scored on a 3-on-1 in overtime to hand the Flyers a 5-4 loss on Tuesday night.

The Flyers are back on the road and back in Columbus looking to stop the bleeding, this time to start a three-game road trip on Tuesday night against the Blue Jackets.

The Flyers were winning games early in the season behind great goaltending and timely goals. Now they are losing games because the bad habits within their game and the lack of scoring talent is catching up to them in a hurry.

On Thursday night, the Flyers hit the road to face another team at the bottom of the standings and locked into a lengthy losing streak. The Columbus Blue Jackets have lost five straight games dating back to Oct. 23, including both games in their trip to Finland last weekend.

In a poll conducted by The Athletic ranking NHL front office confidence levels based on fan input, the Flyers ranked dead last, 32nd in the NHL. 

The Flyers will buy out forward Oskar Lindblom, who was set to enter the final year of a three-year deal in the 2022-23 season, placing him on conditional waivers on Tuesday afternoon. His current cap hit was $3 million and the buyout saves the Flyers $3.33 million toward the cap.

Now that the NHL Draft is over, the Free Agent Frenzy can officially begin. Who will the Flyers approach in free agency, and will they another trade to clear more cap space in order to bring home Johnny Hockey?

The Flyers tried to move cap space, but couldn’t clear enough for Johnny Gaudreau to sign with his hometown team. The Flyers instead added forward Nicolas Deslauriers and brought back defenseman Justin Braun.

The big story from the weekend is the acquisition of defenseman Tony DeAngelo, the perception of the deal, and the question of fit for the Flyers. The guys also look at the team’s first-round pick Cutter Gauthier and how the Draft played out. 

On Wednesday, you saw that the current regime is incapable of handling a rebuild. They insisted upon an aggressive retool for a fast fix, not the necessary rebuild needed. Now it’s time to start that rebuild anyway, but focus on the front office that has so clearly set the Flyers back.

The guys are back as free agency got underway this week with plenty of movement. The Flyers, however, were quiet after spending months stating they would have an “aggressive retool.” The guys look at how things played out in free agency, the questions facing the front office, and the lack of a sense of direction from the team. 

The Flyers have five picks on Day 2 of the NHL Draft on Friday, but could there also be some trades in the works?

If you were wondering just what the Flyers were going to try to do with this offseason or questioning if they were serious about an aggressive approach, you got your answer on Thursday. Tortorella is only the first piece of what could be a very busy offseason that features equally as many changes and moves as the last, likely even more aggressive than ever before.

Tuesday’s game was the sixth of its kind, a 2-1 overtime win against the Flames that showed the team’s ability to adjust and once again their ability to get the best performance at the most crucial position and use an opportunity to seize the result.

The Flyers will induct two new members into its Hall of Fame prior to Tuesday’s game at Wells Fargo Center against the Calgary Flames. This opens up a three-game homestand for the Flyers, and marks the first game the Flyers will be without Ryan Ellis again for the long-term.

To this point in the season, the one thing the Flyers had done well, even in a pair of losses, was remain competitive in games. Saturday’s game was their first that would be classified as a clunker.

The Flames out-shot the Flyers, 36-20, as the three-game road trip came to an end with a 4-0 defeat for the Flyers on Saturday night in Calgary.

The Calgary Flames return to home ice after sweeping a five-game road trip that included four Metropolitan Division teams. Now, they face the Flyers, once final test for the Orange and Black on this road trip as they close out their October schedule.
