Flyers, Christian Dvorak gaining ‘traction’ on a 5-year extension

On Sunday afternoon, the San Jose Sharks and forward Alexander Wennberg agreed to a three-year, $18- million contract extension. For the 31-year-old center, it was a nice payday for a player with 26 points in the first 41 games of the season.  Considering the similar statistical profiles, the extension of Wennberg prompted some discussion about what a potential Christian Dvorak extension might look like with the Philadelphia Flyers, and it appears there may be real truth to those discussi...

Rick Tocchet praises Denver Barkey’s courageous 200-foot game

When the Philadelphia Flyers called up Denver Barkey to make his NHL debut in mid-December, no one was really sure how he’d fare or how long he’d be with the big club. The 5-foot-9 forward is in his first year of professional hockey, putting up 16 points (7 goals, 9 assists) in 26 games with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. But Barkey made an immediate impact in the Flyers’ overtime loss at Madison Square Garden, picking up two primary assists in a 23-second span while looking the part of an N...

Why Sam Ersson not making Sweden’s Olympic roster is great for Flyers

It was just over a year ago, and Sam Ersson was feeling some national pride knowing he’d be on the Swedish roster when the 4 Nations Face-Off took place in mid-February. In the three games leading up to the National Hockey League break for the international tournament, Ersson, the then Flyers starting goaltender, laid claim to three consecutive games where he had over a .900 save percentage. He lost a 2-0 decision to Colorado, making 30 of 32 stops. The following game, Ersson was sensational, ...

The Royals have signed veteran catcher Jorge Alfaro to a minor league contract, according to Aram Leighton of Just Baseball. Alfaro is a nine-year veteran with the Phillies, Marlins, Padres, Rockies, Red Sox, and Nationals. In 510 career games, he has hit .253/.301/.391. Last year he appeared in 14 games with the Nationals and went […]

Flyers immediately win Egor Zamula trade by a landslide

Danny Briere has done it again — and it’s only slightly tongue-in-cheek. The Philadelphia Flyers acquired former first-round pick Philip Tomasino from the Pittsburgh Penguins last week for disgruntled defenseman Egor Zamula. Zamula had fallen out of favor in Philadelphia under Rick Tocchet and changed his representation in an attempt to facilitate a contract termination. Briere and the Flyers didn’t give in to Zamula’s demands, though, insisting that they would be able to trade the d...

Penguins Terminating Contract Of Newly Acquired Zamula

The Pittsburgh Penguins clearly didn't do their research on Yegor Zamula as once the team acquired him in a one-for-one swap with the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for Philip Tomasino, Zamula failed to report to the AHL and his contract is being terminated. Egor Zamula (PIT) is on unconditional waivers for a contract termination -- he'll become an unrestricted free agent tomorrow if unclaimed, and has multiple interested NHL suitors — Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) January 5, 2026 Zamula fi...

Four Flyers prospects set to face off for World Juniors bronze medal

After a week and change jam packed with action, the day has finally arrived — four teams will be facing off for medals to cap off the 2026 World Junior Championships in Minnesota. It’s been a wild tournament, with drama and upsets and exciting performances unfolding all over the place, and we can only hope to see the same intensity carried into this finale. And what’s more, as the national teams race for the tournament’s top honor, we’ll see plenty of Flyers prospects at work in that mix, repr...

Bring on the Packers

Scared, Bears fans? Don’t be. We’ve known it was coming. Somehow, some way. Even when the Chicago Bears couldn’t seal the deal against the Detroit Lions, the Eagles made sure fate didn’t cheat us of what we deserve. Bears vs. Packers. Round 3. Win or go home. We’ve seen that movie twice before in recent […]

Commanders Vs. Eagles (Game Two) – Studs and Duds

Washington’s season ended just as it started – with a victory over a division rival. And although this one really didn’t mean much for the Commanders, they “could” have made the Eagles road to the Super Bowl just a tad bit harder by dropping them to the number three overall seed and having them face […]

Jonathan Gannon reportedly fired by Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals are parting ways with head coach Jonathan Gannon after three seasons. The former Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator went 15-36 in Arizona, and with injuries and non-stop losses, the team decided to move on from the first-time head coach. Gannon is expected to garner some interest around the league as a defensive coordinator […]

DeVonta Smith grateful for chance to hit 1,000 yards

Anywhere else, DeVonta Smith would without question be WR1, but in Philadelphia he has to share the stage with A.J. Brown. It’s never come between the two, or created drama, but the former Heisman winner has always been a bit overlooked, which makes things like milestones and franchise records carry more heft. Against the Commanders […]

Phillies, Yankees enter the Bo Bichette market

Good morning! The holidays are over, it was 14 degrees in Boston this morning, and everyone is back to work. Thus begins the worst, most depressing stretch of the entire year. Can we at least get some interesting Red Sox news to hold us over? No, we can’t. But we can get unsourced rumors about […]

Phillies hire Don Mattingly as bench coach

What has seemed like a formality for a while is now official. Don Mattingly will be the bench coach for the Phillies in 2026. It’s a good hire for the team. Mattingly has had success as a bench coach with Toronto, as well as success as a major league manager for the Marlins and Dodgers. […]
