Discuss Pistons-Cavaliers Playoffs Game 5 Here!

The Eastern Conference bracket of the 2026 NBA Playoffs is narrowing down to an exciting conclusion. The New York Knicks already vanquished the Philadelphia 76ers in laughably easy fashion. Now the Detroit Pistons and Cleveland Cavaliers are set to meet for Game 5 of their series to see who will travel onward to face Karl-Anthony […]

Lions, Eagles among NFC rebound candidates in 2026

After going through NFC regression candidates, several rebound candidates could give the Los Angeles Rams issues in 2026. Between the Lions’ potential return to playoff contention and the Eagles aiming to bounce back after a rough end to the year, there are a few teams that might make some noise ahead of the new season. […]

Dan Vladar reveals he suffered injury in first round vs. Penguins

Dan Vladar was one of the Philadelphia Flyers’ most valuable players all season long. It’s easy to say that a goalie is an important player on any team, but Vladar really embodied that this season for the Flyers. Vladar wanted to come to Philadelphia because he saw an opportunity to take a bigger share of the crease, and he did just that. The 28-year-old netminder started 51 games in the regular season and 10 more in the playoffs. It was by far the biggest workload that Vladar has had in ...

Matvei Michkov wasted no time getting back to work

The Philadelphia Flyers saw their season come to a close on Saturday night with one final overtime loss, this time with the Carolina Hurricanes completing the sweep in their Eastern Conference Semifinals series. It was ultimately a disappointing end, but one that many saw coming given the situation. Many people also saw the criticism of Matvei Michkov coming. He was a healthy scratch for the series-deciding Game 4 after being one of the worst skaters on the ice in Game 3 against the fast-...

What Rick Tocchet plans to do to fix the Flyers’ offense

The Philadelphia Flyers only scored five goals in round two of the 2025-26 playoffs. And after generating a batch of goals in the first three games against Pittsburgh, seemed to hit a wall of sorts in the ensuing three games. In terms of the regular season, Philadelphia posted its first positive goal differential (for a full 82-game season) since 2017-18 where they scored 249 goals and allowed 236 (+13). Granted this season’s goal differential was the slimmest of margins (+1), but it was still...

Rick Tocchet lays out what he wants from Matvei Michkov — and why he scratched him

You don’t have to step very far to find a Philadelphia Flyers fan talking about the relationship between head coach Rick Tocchet and Matvei Michkov. It’s been speculated to death after the star rookie winger turned in a disappointing season and was not used a whole lot by the coach in the most important games of the season. Despite Michkov playing very well after the Olympic break earlier this year — leading the team with 22 points in the final 26 games of the season — as soon as he hit t...

Is Dylan Carlson anything the Phillies should be excited about?

On Tuesday afternoon, the Phillies had some minor league shakeups with their rosters that was akin to rearranging deckchairs. They needed some pitchers here, a few hitters there, but they snuck through a minor league signing that at least had a bit of intrigue. If the name rings a bell, it probably should. Drafted in […]

Flyers’ Emil Andrae approaching critical offseason with focus

The Flyers may have fallen short of any aspirations of an even deeper run into the playoffs, with this weekend’s loss to the Hurricanes bringing their season to an end, but on the whole this was still a tremendously successful season for the team. The growth from start to finish broadly was notable, but particularly for the team’s young players, this process was an informative one. Players like defenseman Emil Andrae, who’s played the better part of two seasons with the big club now, lear...

What’s your concern level with Aidan Miller?

Imagine being told in the offseason that Alec Bohm would be hitting .180 with a .527 OPS through the Phillies first 41 games. One of your first thoughts after a slew of expletives would probably have been “well at least that’s giving Aidan Miller a golden opportunity”, and you wouldn’t have been wrong! But that […]

Wednesday Morning Fly By: Things were said

*It was a big day yesterday for the assembled Flyers media, as they had their chance to ask the Flyers players anything they wanted, to presumably get some insight into how these guys felt about their season, the playoffs, etc. So naturally they asked a bunch of questions about Matvei Michkov, and, also naturally, his teammates had nothing bad to say about him. [ BSH ] *Of course they spoke to Matvei himself as well, and as usual, Michkov did nothing to shy away from his disappointment in...

Wheels keep on rolling: Phillies 2, Red Sox 1

It’s hard to believe that Zack Wheeler was a major question mark less than a month ago. At least for now, he looked like the Zack Wheeler of old as he went 7.1 innings against the Red Sox while allowing one run on just 87 pitches in a 2-1 win. Kyle Schwarber tied the Phillies […]
