The Flyers tailspin continues following a 1-2-2 road trip. They are fading further and further out of the playoff picture. It is not too early to talk about a fading chance at the playoffs. It is way too early to talk about the draft and the potential of a high pick. Yes, the Flyers […]
It had been two long weeks since the Flyers claimed a win. After six games of frustration, the Flyers finally came out on the right end of a final score. Steve Mason was a big reason for that, stopping 37 of 38 shots to down the Kings in the Flyers 2-1 win on Saturday afternoon. […]
The result on Friday matched the result last Wednesday. A shutout loss to the Rangers featured a lifeless and uninterested Flyers team. This is not the same team that was rolling entering a five-day break on Nov. 8. This Flyers team, 1-6-1 in their last eight games is not a playoff team. And teams that […]
The Flyers woes at Madison Square Garden continued on Wednesday night, extending their losing streak to three games. One player came to play. Steve Mason made 32 saves, including several highlight-reel saves, to keep the Flyers in the game. The rest of the roster simply didn't show up. That spelled a 2-0 loss for […]
The two Flyers most synonymous with the 1990s decade are about to take their place in Flyers lore forever. Eric Lindros was a Flyer from the beginning. Though drafted by the Quebec Nordiques, he was traded to the Flyers and instantly a future leader from his rookie season in John LeClair started his career […]
For a good portion of Tuesday, the status of captain Claude Giroux was up in the air. Craig Berube didn't know anything. R.J. Umberger played time on the top line while hoping Giroux was good enough to play. Finally, after hours of speculation, Ron Hextall revealed the mildly bad news. Giroux would be out for […]
The Flyers will be without their captain for the next two games. Claude Giroux exited practice on Monday and seemed to be fine, but as the day wore on, it was clear he was dealing with an injury. Giroux has a lower-body injury that Ron Hextall said would keep him off the ice for a […]
Once again, it's Thursday and it's been a slow week around here with five days between games for the Flyers. But we're about to change all that. It's time to reach into this week's mailbag.

You may have read earlier today in our Future Flyers report that top prospect Shayne Gostisbehere suffered an injury in Friday […]
Jake Voracek extended his points streak to seven games on a great feed from Claude Giroux. Chris VandeVelde was quickly taken off the top line to get Wayne Simmonds better chances. Those were two storylines that will carry into the next game. But the one that would normally be overlooked is the scoring depth the […]
