Danny Briere reportedly getting calls from NHL GMs amid Flyers’ struggles

The Philadelphia Flyers are down bad. They just finished a disheartening shootout loss to the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday night and now have a well-earned 0-5-3 record to start their season. Every other NHL team has noticed just how poor they have been, and they’re seeing it as an opportunity. With the Flyers floundering and looking for an answer as to why this is happening and how they can fix it, general manager Danny Briere is reportedly getting a whole lot of phone calls from teams arou...

Flyers vs. Kraken: How to watch, lineups, and gamethread

The Philadelphia Flyers are playing hockey again (derogatory). They’re facing what many would consider their easiest matchup of the season so far, but the Seattle Kraken are certainly no slouches with a 4-2-0 record. Maybe it was just the schedule we have to blame, or maybe the Flyers are just very very very bad. We’ll hopefully find out something.

Rick Tocchet shakes up Flyers lineup, puts Martone and Michkov together

The Philadelphia Flyers are playing miserable hockey. Miserable for the players as they can’t connect on any passes and have scored just eight goals in seven games. Miserable for management and the coaching staff as they continue to search for answers to solve their 0-5-2 record. Miserable for all of us watching the games as we dread another pointless season. In response to yet another disappointing performance over the weekend, as they lost to the Boston Bruins and Carolina Hurricanes in...

Latest Flyers Rumor Indicates Konecny Could Be On The Way Out

The knives are out in Philadelphia as the Flyers are off to the worst start in the NHL, and there's no sign of relief. And while certain trade candidates have emerged, it appears that the one player who has garnered the most frustration around the team is longtime Flyer Travis Konecny.  According to a ruthless report from sources to  Daily Faceoff's Anthony Di Marco , Konecny has certainly fallen out of favor in Philly.  Speaking with sources Monday, there is a growing sense of ...

3 Philadelphia Flyers' Trade Candidates As Roster Changes Coming

The Philadelphia Flyers are the worst team in hockey, and there's certainly going to be some drastic changes made to their roster. Word is, head coach Rick Tocchett is safe, and general manager Daniel Briere is going to turn to his roster to advance in trade talks to see how he can make some adjustments, and more importantly, some upgrades. The Flyers enter Tuesday's action with a 0-5-2 record, being outscored 28-8, and it doesn't appear any help is on the way anytime soon. Here's three Flyers...

Flyers are one loss away from making NHL history

On Sunday night the Philadelphia Flyers made history. For all the wrong reasons. After keeping Carolina scoreless for roughly half of regulation, the defending Stanley Cup champions broke the game open, and cruised rather easily to a 4-1 victory on the road. The loss put the Flyers in the record books, setting a franchise record with seven consecutive losses to start a season. At 0-5-2, Philadelphia has the second-worst points percentage (.143), with only Calgary (0-5-0) behind them. They...

Tuesday Morning Fly By: How about this time?

*The Philadelphia Flyers are back in action tonight but over the weekend, we got to see the season debut of top prospect Oliver Bonk. He was thrown to the wolves on the top pairing next to Travis Sanheim and torn apart by the Carolina Hurricanes, but there were some reasons for optimism from the 21-year-old. [BSH] *Could Danny Briere do something to shake things up and stop the bleeding? We came up with three ideas for moves that the Flyers general manager could pull off to get something ...

Reports: Flyers Coach's Job Safe Despite 'Fire Tocchet' Chants In Philly

It was an unmistakable sound coming from the denizens of Xfinity Mobile Arena on Sunday. As the Philadelphia Flyers were about put their  franchise-record seven-game winless streak to start the season in the books, chants of 'Fire Tocchet' started to rain down from the stands. With a 0-5-2 start, while being outscored a ridiculous 27-8, the Flyers find themselves in a nearly impossible situation of trying to repeat their surprising playoff appearance of last season. Head coach Rich Tocche...

Flyers reportedly not firing Rick Tocchet anytime soon

The seat may be heating up under head coach Rick Tocchet, but the Philadelphia Flyers don’t appear ready to make a coaching change just yet. Despite a 0-5-2 start for a team that somehow looks worse than its record, the Flyers are fully behind their head coach. A disappointed Trevor Zegras is ‘fully behind’ Rick Tocchet “Fully. Fully behind (Tocchet),” Trevor Zegras said when asked about his head coach after Sunday night’s loss. “He’s an amazing person. He’s an amazing coach. He...

Flyers recall forward Jack Studnicka, loan Carl Grundstrom to Phantoms

The Philadelphia Flyers have to do something to shake things up after a horrendous start, and perhaps a few depth moves can be the start of that. The team placed Helge Grans on waivers on Monday afternoon — a good sign for, at the very least, Cam York’s availability for Tuesday’s matchup against the Kraken — then announced a pair of roster moves later that evening, sending Carl Grundstrom down to the Phantoms and calling up in his place center Jack Studnicka. Whether he gets into the line...

Matvei Michkov’s Instagram Now Has the Same Amount of Pictures as the Flyers Have Wins

Oh no! What does this mean? Matvei Michkov’s IG account is now private and features 0 pictures: My first thought that was that maybe Michkov didn’t want anybody to know he played for the Flyers. That he didn’t want to be associated with this team after going winless in seven games to begin the season, […] The post Matvei Michkov’s Instagram Now Has the Same Amount of Pictures as the Flyers Have Wins appeared first on Crossing Broad .
