Some things to like, and some things to not like from Penguins first three games

Let’s talk about some first impressions from the 2026-27 Pittsburgh Penguins. After playing a nearly flawless 60 minutes in the season opener against the Philadelphia Flyers, the Penguins won a 6-5 overtime game against the Montreal Canadiens that saw them let a 5-1 slip away, and then played what was easily their sloppiest and ugliest […]

Rick Tocchet Says it’s His Fault that Flyers are “Way Too Comfortable” and Not Competing

It seems like every game the Flyers play in Tampa is a low-scoring slop fest, and Monday night was no different. They mustered 14 shots in a 4-1 loss that would have been blown open in the second period if not for the play of Dan Vladar, who stood on his head and gave the […] The post Rick Tocchet Says it’s His Fault that Flyers are “Way Too Comfortable” and Not Competing appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Flyers’ Dan Vladar drops ‘not fun’ truth bomb on winless start after Lightning loss

The Philadelphia Flyers made the Stanley Cup Playoffs in rather impressive fashion last year. They finished with nearly 100 points as goalie Dan Vladar helped lead a resilient group to the postseason. Things have not gone their way early on in 2026-27, though. The Flyers picked up their fourth straight loss on Monday night.

David Jiricek may be on thin ice after latest mistake

Patience is a virtue. In the NHL, it can certainly be seen as a positive — some players just take longer to develop and the real patient teams who want to carve a player into someone who makes an impact on the ice most shifts, can sometimes be rewarded for their patience. But it gets to a point. And even though he is still just 22 years old, the Philadelphia Flyers’ patience for David Jiricek to play at an adequate level might already be running thin. It might not result in him getting pl...

Takeaways: Flyers fall to Lightning as season-opening skid continues

The Philadelphia Flyers’ start to the 2026-27 season hasn’t exactly inspired much confidence. Not only did they lose their first three games of the campaign, but they also looked completely lifeless in the process, being outscored 13-4 and outshot 122-62 in those outings. Monday night presented an opportunity to stop the bleeding. But against a star-studded Tampa Bay Lightning squad, the outcome was easy to predict before the puck was even dropped. The Flyers are an instructor at the loca...

Brayden Point and Brandon Hagel added goals while Tyson Foerster was credited with the lone Flyers’ goal. Max Crozier...

Flyers @ Lightning: How to watch, lineups, and gamethread

All we know right now when it comes to the Philadelphia Flyers is pain. They have started the season about as bad defensively as you could realistically be in the NHL and the offense is having a miserable time trying to create absolutely anything. Nothing is working except Joseph Woll stealing two loser points so the Flyers aren’t 0-3-0. Now, they’re starting a road trip in Tampa, Florida of all hellish places, and facing a Lightning team that will surely give them a big test yet again. ...

Elliotte Friedman links the Flyers to a potential Simon Edvinsson trade

The Philadelphia Flyers are in a whirlwind of misery to start their season and need some sort of good news to truly get going. So, how about trading for the hottest young defenseman on the trade market? Simon Edvinsson is fed up with not being signed to a long-term contract by the Detroit Red Wings and as the current restricted free agent is back home in Sweden training with his old team Frolunda, he has made it clear that he’s done with the team that drafted him sixth overall at the 2021...
