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...
*After what felt like several weeks of totally crappy hockey, the Flyers took on the Caps on home ice last night and won a god dang hockey game. RECAP !
*Prior to the game, GM Danny Briere spoke with the media about all of The Stuff going on with Tocchet and Michkov. Nothing groundbreaking here but definitely something Briere needed to do to get a handle on this thing. [ BSH ]

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 basics
First Period: 5:56 – Owen Tippett (Travis Sanheim, Matvei Michkov)
Second Period: 4:45 – Carl Grundstrom (Nic Deslauriers, Rasmus Ristolainen), 8:12 – Aliaksei Protas (SHG) (Anthony Beauvillier)

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...
It is enough for the Philadelphia Flyers to have lost 11 of their last 13 games before Tuesday night’s game against the Washington Capitals. But now, they have a potential crisis on their hands as head coach Rick Tocchet and winger Matvei Michkov are having a fairly public conflict.
Throughout the entire season, how the Flyers’ young Russian star is getting barely any more minutes than bottom-six wingers has been a point of contention for fans. We saw the dazzling displays of talent durin...
The Philadelphia Flyers have had a rollercoaster of a season. Well, if there is a rollercoaster that is just one hill where you climb up, start to feel good about where you’re going, and then the tracks just end and you plummet to your death. But how will this all affect the upcoming trade deadline? Can they really justify any moves after losing 11 of their last 13 games?
Flyers general manager Danny Briere appeared on 97.5 The Fanatic during the Flyers Carnival last weekend and cleared t...
*Blissfully, we have only two games between us and the Olympic break and the first of those is tonight against the Capitals. Another opportunity to get two points on a Division rival. Hopefully the boys enjoyed the heck out of Sunday’s Flyers Charities Carnival and will hit the ice refreshed and ready to go. It was a fun day. [ Inquirer ]
*Anyway so Rick Tocchet seems to be a big topic of conversation this week. For obvious reasons. But we probably shouldn’t be surprised that this is the ...

It was a solid week for winger Travis Konecny. And despite the losses Philadelphia had in games where he scored in Columbus and Buffalo, Konecny’s goal-scoring touch was recognized Monday when the National Hockey League named him the third star of the week.

Is Rick Tocchet really a coach made for the modern NHL? We're seeing his effect on the current Philadelphia Flyers.
With the Philadelphia Flyers really stinking it up as of late, a whole lot of our attention has turned to the 2026 NHL Draft, unfortunately. No longer dreaming of breaking the playoff drought with a fun bunch of underdog players and then throwing Porter Martone in the mix to potentially cause some havoc in the postseason, making us even more excited for training camp in September.
No, they suck and are losing games so now we still have to wring our hands together thinking if they have eno...
*The Flyers Charities Carnival was yesterday and, from the looks of it, fans had a fantastic time and the event was a rousing success. Wonderful stuff, one of the best days of the season. And a great way to distract us from thinking about Saturday’s overtime loss, which was not wonderful stuff. RECAP !

After spending the first several years of their NHL careers with the Philadelphia Flyers, Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost have now been with the Calgary Flames for just over a year. Saturday marked the one-year anniversary of the Flyers trading the two forwards to Calgary in exchange for Andrei Kuzmenko, Jakob Pelletier, a second-round pick in 2025, and a seventh-round pick in 2028.
The trade was the first of a few by Danny Briere and Keith Jones that were meant to mark the final stages of ...
The Flyers earned a point but came up short on Saturday afternoon, losing to Los Angeles 3-2 in a rather low-event, excitement-free contest. The loss was Philadelphia’s fourth in a row.

The Flyers seem to have something of a revolving door situation going on as it relates to their roster, and it seems that they’ve made one more adjustment as they move into the final trio of games before the Olympic break. The rug seems to have well and truly been pulled out from under the Flyers — their losing streak has now stretched to three games again, and they have just two wins in their last 10 games — and they’re throwing anything and everything they can at the wall, and hoping that th...
