For the first time in six years, the Philadelphia Flyers are back in the Stanley Cup playoffs and naturally, the hockey Gods have tasked them with the Pittsburgh Penguins as a first round matchup. With both teams entering the season as relative longshots to qualify for the postseason at all, their matchup represents a golden opportunity for either club to get one over on their Keystone State Rival.
At face value, this is a battle of underdogs. The Penguins assembled an island of misfit to...
Trea Turner hit Shōta Imanaga’s second pitch of the game out of Citizens Bank Park. Okay, I know what a lot of you were thinking: “Here we go again.” But that turned out not to be the case! Imanaga slammed the door on Phillies bats after that, allowing just two other hits and a walk […]
Well, another day, another embarrassing loss to the Cubs. Jesús Luzardo got shelled, the defense was a disaster, and the bats were silent against another lefty starter. There are 144 more games to go. Take that any way you want to. On to the links. Phillies News: MLB News:
A young power forward with swagger drafted early in the first round can be an amazing thing for an NHL team. And unlike Cutter Gauthier, this one actually was willing to sign a contract with the Philadelphia Flyers! Porter Martone joined up with the Flyers after his 2025-26 season at Michigan State wrapped up and […]
*Nothing left for us to do but wait for the first round to begin, eh friends? Just hanging out, thinking about how the hockey season isn’t over, waiting for the schedule release, things of that nature. We can also think about the difficult path to the playoffs that the Flyers gave themselves and then overcame. Because it rules. [ BSH ]
*We can also spend a little bit of time reflecting on Danny Briere’s tenure as GM thus far, and all of the very savvy moves that have brought the Flyers to...
The Philadelphia 76ers survived the NBA play-in tournament with Wednesday night’s win over the Orlando Magic. Now, they’ll face their next — and far greater — challenge: the Boston Celtics. For the fourth time in eight years, Boston and Philadelphia will meet in a best-of-seven series. Historically, the Celtics have dominated, winning each of their […]

We will be covering four picks for the Cleveland Browns in this year’s DBN Community NFL Mock Draft. Earlier in the draft at No. 6 overall, DE Rueben Bain was picked by the Browns, although that happened prior to the recent news about him coming out. What about No. 24 overall? That is included in […]

The eighth chapter in the playoff history between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Pittsburgh Penguins is about to be written. The Flyers have won four of the first seven series, but also lost three of the last four. The last time the two teams met was in 2018, when the Penguins took out Philadelphia in six games. Gritty was still an idea among some in the Flyers organization, and Shayne Gostisbehere was the team’s most offensive defenseman. It’s been a long time
However, the rosters of bo...
It’s NFL Draft Season! Before you read, some important context… I’ve ranked these players based on the Eagles’ needs and scheme fit. So while I may rate player ‘X’ higher than player ‘Y’ on pure talent, ‘Y’ could rank higher here due to fit or need. Focus more on tiers than exact order. Players in […]
You could describe the Philadelphia Flyers’ 2025-26 season with a list of different words, but none of them would be the word “perfect”.
After their January swoon where they lost 11 out of 13 games and looked dead in the water amongst a glut of playoff contenders in the Eastern Conference, without any real juice, or an attribute that separated them from the pack. They were unable to string together any lengthy win streaks, every game without Dan Vladar in between the pipes felt like a sch...
For the third consecutive year, the Sixers have failed to hit that vaunted 50-win total in the regular season. They have not held home-court advantage in a playoff series since Doc Rivers was here. Joel Embiid is dealing with yet another crushing injury, one in a long line of them that have defined his career. […]
No member of the Philadelphia Flyers has won the Hart Trophy since Eric Lindros did for his 1994-95 season, but one player could at least get some recognition in the voting this season.
When the Flyers signed Dan Vladar to a two-year contract last summer, he was seen as a temporary solution to a long-term problem. A career backup before arriving in Philadelphia, the 28-year-old netminder has never really been given the chance to have the majority of the crease, whether it was in Calgary o...

Based on preseason expectations there might not be a more improbable first-round matchup in the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs than the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers. Neither of these teams were expected to be here. Up until about three weeks ago, I am not sure the Flyers were expected to be here. But none of […]
It’s fun to play the “What if…” game sometimes in sports. Sometimes, certain scenarios are worth remembering in the event of future transactions that would serve as a reminder of one team’s initial interest in a particular player. If for nothing else, it creates some fun dialogue amongst fans. As we prepare for Philadelphia’s clash […]
The Philadelphia Flyers are in the playoffs — we cannot say it enough. This team that everyone counted out and assumed that they would’ve just finish somewhere out of the playoffs but not as terrible as the other teams to get some blue chip prospect out of it; defied those expectations and went on a dramatic, emotional, and thrilling run to eventually punching their ticket in the penultimate game of their season.
Now, it’s just the actual “playing in a series” thing that is left and it fe...
The Montreal Canadiens played their final regular season game on Tuesday night, paying a visit to the Philadelphia Flyers, who booked their ticket to the playoffs the night prior. It was a frustrating night for the Habs in general, as they ran into the best version of Samuel Ersson in net, and made some defensive mistakes that led to a 4-2 loss to wrap up their 82-game schedule.
This isn’t the end for the 2025-26 Montreal Canadiens, however, as their own ticket to the playoffs has been bo...
