Nikita Grebenkin needs to stay in Flyers lineup no matter what

Nikita Grebenkin brings the Philadelphia Flyers everything they need and more from a player like him and he deserves to not be dragged in and out of the lineup like he has to start his season. When the Flyers initially acquired Grebenkin as a part of the Scott Laughton trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs, there was a general sentiment of “Oh, it’s the funny prospect that said that thing and that clip went viral. That’s neat.” And then, after looking just slightly further into what he’s act...

Owen Tippett’s physical edge fuels hot streak for Flyers

Philadelphia Flyers winger Owen Tippett has never been considered much of a bruiser. Although he measures in at a sturdy 6-foot-1 and 210 pounds, the 26-year-old’s game has primarily been predicated on speed and skill as opposed to physical dominance. Well, that appears to be changing. Now in the midst of an impressive hot streak, Tippett is not only doing what he does best — finding the back of the net — but also leaning into the physical side of his game to become a literal force o...

Liberty Ballers 2025 preseason roundtable, part 2

The start of the NBA season approaching means it’s time for my favorite bi-annual tradition: depressing my coworkers by asking them long term questions about the state of the Philadelphia 76ers. As a team that quickly went from title contenders to ping pong ball hopefuls, there’s a lot of ways this season can go. So […]

2025 Phillies player review: Weston Wilson

The actual season that Weston Wilson played is totally fine: bland, average, fungible. He’s a bench player and no more. There is honor in that as teams are always looking for bench bats that can produce. His path was marred by injury, but his actual place on the roster brings up some questions about how […]

Vikes Views: Player of the Game – Week 7 Eagles at Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings were defeated at home by the Eagles 28-22. That doesn’t mean everything was bad. There were some solid performances on offense and defense. The team moved the ball effectively between the 20s. Here are a few players that stood out to me. Jordan Addison Addison has played well since returning from his […]

Tuesday Morning Fly By: Grebbie out of control

*Turns out if you put the Flyers up against a team with which they are evenly matched, things get really fun! RECAP ! *You may have noticed that last night, Dan Vladar got his second start in a row. Interesting, no? [ BSH ] *You may remember Matvei Michkov being benched (again) in the Flyers’ win over the Wild. Rick Tocchet had some Reasons for that, apparently. [ Inquirer ] *Rick Tocchet also said he seems some Mikko Rantanen in Owen Tippett. Boy would it be nice if that were t...

Postseason Game Discussion, #19

Game #7 it is! We didn’t get one at all last season: the previous instance was in the 2023 Championship Series, when both iterations went the distance. You may remember the last time it happened, it being the NL version. 🙂 For in that, the D-backs beat the Phillies in their own ballpark. Indeed, both […]

Celtics star Jaylen Brown provides update on hamstring

Jaylen Brown practiced fully Monday and said he feels “great” after tweaking his hamstring Wednesday. Brown, who suffered the injury during the Celtics’ preseason finale against the Raptors, said “we’ll see” when asked whether he plans to play in the regular-season opener versus the 76ers this coming Wednesday. It appears his departure from the Toronto […]

Flyers admit they can’t lean on Travis Sanheim as much as they are

If you looked atop the National Hockey League when it comes to ice time , you would see Philadelphia Flyer defenseman Travis Sanheim leading the pack, and the team acknowledges that they don’t want to burn him out. Heading into Monday’s contests, the blueliner leads the league in average ice time with 27:16, the only player in the league with over 27 minutes per game; second is Columbus defenseman Zach Werenski (26:39). Looking a little bit further down you’d see Sanheim’s partner Cam Yor...

Vic Fangio’s depleted defense is figuring it out

While most of the attention during this up-and-down 2025 season has understandably been focused on the Eagles’ confoundingly inconsistent offense, Vic Fangio’s defense has been unable to match last year’s pace. Of course, that’s understandable. The 2024 Birds defense is one of the most complete we’ve ever seen. They gave up the fewest yards of […]

Dan Vladar gets first consecutive starts for Flyers this season

The Philadelphia Flyers entered training camp with an open competition in the crease. Sam Ersson, who started 94 games over the last two seasons, was the presumed starter — or at least 1A in the tandem — with free-agent addition Daniel Vladar competing with him for starts. Well, Vladar looked better than Ersson in the preseason, and that earned him the starting nod on opening night against the Panthers. Since then, Ersson and Vladar have alternated starts through the Flyers’ first five ga...
