We won’t be watching the actual hockey team the Philadelphia Flyers on the ice for more than two weeks but some of their players will be gleefully on our screens participating in the 2026 Winter Olympics. Defenseman Travis Sanheim for Canada, goaltender Dan Vladar for Czechia, and defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen for Finland, have already made their way across the Atlantic and are preparing for the men’s tournament to start Wednesday.
While there aren’t any first-line stars who will be getti...

*Folks! We’ve officially made it to the Olympic break. We’re ready to more or less shut the Flyers out of our minds, especially after the loss that they dropped on us in their last game before this break. [ PHLY ]
*It was an especially tough loss, because there were points in there where a win really was within reach for the Flyers, if they had just been able to bear down and not miss on so many of their opportunities. [ BSH ]

The Philadelphia Flyers have somewhat hung around all season, but they weren't exactly projected to be a contender this season anyways. They have had some strong performances from certain players and it helps give management an idea of how to shape the team for the future. The Flyers are almost there. They have some solid core pieces, a generally younger to middle-aged group of talent, and some prospects. They are on the rise, even if it takes until next season or the one after for it to reall...

The Flyers, riding high after snapping their losing streak with a big win over the Capitals on Tuesday, went into their final game before the break with a significant challenge on their hands — keeping their positive momentum rolling now that they finally had it. And while there were pieces in the matchup which worked in their favor, between a similarly matchup Senators team broadly, but more precisely one starting a 37-year old James Reimer only a handful of games into his stint with Ottawa a...

The Flyers finished their pre-Olympic gauntlet Thursday night with a 2-1 overtime loss against the Ottawa Senators. The Flyers capped off this stretch of 56 games with a record of 25-20-11. And while some players we mentioned previously well more than happy to see the Olympic break now for a few weeks, there are a few other players who maybe hate the fact they’re now having some down time. It’s not every Flyer, but we take a look at three Flyers who are playing quite well of late, and would ju...

*Without much in the way of hyperbole, that was the worst hockey game I have ever seen. An embarrassing effort, if you could even call it that. Surely you want to read about it, so… RECAP !
*The Flyers were looking for build some momentum last night heading into the Olympic break — like okay obviously winning is good but you’re off for 19 days boys I’m not sure that’s how “momentum” works, exactly — and they absolutely did not succeed in doing that. [ Inquirer ]

It’s here. The last game we’ll be watching of this dang Philadelphia Flyers team for a whole 20 days. Should we try to savor it? Maybe take in every single minute so that we can keep it in our heads until they return on Feb. 25? Maybe. Or, we could just get through it as fast as possible so we can relax for a little bit. They’re facing Claude Giroux and his Ottawa Senators, by the way.

Between being left off of the Canadian Olympic team following his appearance at the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament last year and playing for a team that seems destined to miss the playoffs once again, Philadelphia Flyers winger Travis Konecny hasn’t had much go his way this year.
Following the Flyers’ 6-3 loss to the Bruins last week that stretched their losing streak to three, Konecny voiced his frustration at the fact that his squad seemed to be fading out of the playoff picture once ag...

The Philadelphia Flyers have not exactly been screaming “sell” all season, but Bobby Brink’s name is starting to stick in the rumor cycle anyway. Between a softening playoff push and a roster that is getting tighter by the week, Brink has landed on multiple trade radars as a skilled, affordable winger who can slide into a contender’s middle six. He is only 24, he is producing, and with his contract situation coming fast, the timing is lining up in a way that makes teams call.

February 4 marks 1000 days since the interim tag was removed from Philadelphia Flyers General Manager Danny Briere. After a short trial run following the firing of Chuck Fletcher, Briere was given the reins, hoping to shed some of the contracts and players who were no longer fitting, swapping them off for picks, trying to change the team through the draft, and making a handful of deals that were somewhat outside the box. The jury is still out on a few of the draft picks, and will be for probab...

The Flyers, hitting the start of the month of February on a four-game losing streak and at the risk of heading into the Olympic break in free fall, managed to pull together a prompt shift in momentum. Picking up a reasonably tidy 4-2 win over their divisional rival Capitals, the Flyers lifted quite a major weight off of their shoulders, but still sit with a reminder that there’s work yet to be done.
Overcoming the noise
To deliver the understatement of the century, things have not be...

Throughout the season, it’s been a three-man race as to who has been the guy the Flyers have gone to all season. For most of the year it was Trevor Zegras. But he’s slowed down a bit on his points pace. Winger Travis Konecny has picked up the slack and now leads the team in points, yet even he’s had some games and moments that he’d like to have back. The one guy that has managed to be even keel most of the way — and been one of the brightest and biggest lights thus far — is goaltender Dan Vlad...

The Philadelphia Flyers earned a feel-good 4-2 win over the Washington Capitals that helped them wash away a whole lot of their ongoing issues. Sure, it doesn’t help that they suffered a brutal stretch that almost cemented them as a non-playoff team, but Tuesday night’s win was perfectly timed after the messy drama between head coach Rick Tocchet and winger Matvei Michkov spilled into the national spotlight.
The main gripe surrounding this drama was the lack of minutes given to Michkov an...

In their first meeting of the season, the Flyers survived a third period push by Alex Ovechkin’s Washington Capitals. A late goal on the power play by Jamie Drysdale was the difference in the Flyers’ 4-2 win.

The Philadelphia Flyers might be playing a game on Tuesday but all anyone can talk about is the potential crisis regarding head coach Rick Tocchet and winger Matvei Michkov. So much so that general manager Danny Briere had to come and clear the air publicly.
As the rumors started to swirl that there is potentially a massive conflict between Michkov and Tocchet bubbling up to the surface, and just about everyone had their take on how the Flyers should handle the situation, the team acted q...

The AHL All-Star Classic is just about a week away, and with the Phantoms’ representative in Denver Barkey remaining on the Flyers’ roster as the NHL roster freeze in advance of the Olympic break has come and gone, another one of the team’s exciting prospects has been called upon to replace him.
Christian Kyrou gets the nod
With Barkey unavailable — and likely the next most natural option in Alex Bump still out with injury — the call was made to select Phantoms defenseman Christian K...

And just like that, the final week before the break has arrived. It’s certainly been an exciting lead-up to it (for better or worse), but the Flyers will be hoping against all hope that they can get the ball rolling here and find a way to hit the break on a bit of a high. And there’s no better chance to get that started than with a matchup against another divisional rival, as the Capitals come to town.

The Flyers will be closing up shop for a few weeks when the season takes a roughly three-week break for the Winter Olympics in Italy. A few Flyers — including Travis Sanheim and Dan Vladar — will be making the trip across the pond to represent their respective countries. But for other Flyers, the break can’t come soon enough.
Philadelphia’s winning percentage the last month has almost mirrored their power play efficiency. And that could mean nearly everyone will be happy to get away for a...
