Flyers coach Rick Tocchet impressed with Porter Martone and Tyson Foerster despite loss
The end result was a loss, and one that might come back to haunt them in the next 11 days.

After the game Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet said he was extremely impressed with the amount of activity the Flyers had offensively, but was still irrit...

Report: Flyers’ Dean Lombardi interested in Maple Leafs GM job
The Toronto Maple Leafs are making headlines despite having a typically horrendous season, all because they have fired their general manager. Brad Treliving is out of a job after ruining that team up north for a whole lot of years (thank you for the first-round draft pick, Brad) and now the highly coveted position of running the team at the center of the hockey universe is up for grabs. And a member of the Philadelphia Flyers front office reportedly wants it. Flyers executive Dean Lo...
Flyers get unexpected boost as Tyson Foerster returns to lineup
Tyson Foerster was supposed to miss the rest of the season. The Philadelphia Flyers were fully expecting to be without one of their best wingers for multiple months and resigned with the fact that they will just try it all again next season, with him ready to go again at training camp this fall, after he suffered a brutal injury during a game all the way back in December. Well, they’re completely wrong and Foerster is now making a shockingly early return to the Flyers lineup in the middle...
The Flyers’ playoff chase is alive — but is it actually worth it?
With another crucial game Thursday against Detroit, the Philadelphia Flyers find themselves on the outside looking in, but nearing the doorstep. A victory against the Red Wings and that pushes them to 88 points.

That’s the smaller picture. Others might see this upcoming three-in-four as t...

The Philadelphia Flyers have eight games left to make the playoffs, lose heartbreakingly due to a regulation wins tie-breaker, or just fall on their faces in the final two weeks and change. With eight games in 13 days, they have their work cut out for them to get over the hump, leaping over a few other teams while hoping some scoreboard watching goes their way.

Flyers’ surprise move sends Carson Bjarnason to ECHL — here’s why
As they move into their final month of the regular season, the Phantoms appear to be making some changes to their lineup. The team announced this morning that rookie goaltender Carson Bjarnason has been loaned down to Reading of the ECHL, and Yaniv Perets has been recalled to replace him. Perets has played three games with the Phantoms this season as an injury call-up, and performed reasonably well — his .873 save percentage over those three games isn’t world-beating, but the eye wo...
‘He’s got it’: Flyers react to Porter Martone’s eye-catching NHL debut

Wednesday Morning Fly By: Moment not met
*Once again did the Flyers HAVE to win last night? No. Not technically. But it would’ve both made a statement and made the road to the playoffs a little easier, so naturally they went out there and lost another game to another Metro Division rival. Rare stinker from Vladar. Recap . *Ahead of last night’s game we speculated on a few ways Porter Martone could made an instant impact on his new team. In hindsight, how’d we do? [ BSH ] *Apparently Martone drew quite a crowd to the trainin...

Rick Tocchet may have just revealed when Tyson Foerster is returning to the Flyers
While the news the last few days has been Porter Martone ending his career at Michigan State, signing his entry-level deal with the Flyers, and making his debut tonight against Washington, Philadelphia head coach Rick Tocchet might have let it slip that currently injured winger Tyson Foerster is on the way. It would be a massive boost for this team, if true. If his reply Tuesday morning was any indication, it appears that Foerster will be getting back to the lineup soon. Simply put, it so...

But in more specific on-ice terms, there is one specific area that the Flyers desperately need help in, and that is on the man advantage. In the midst of yet another year where they sit in 32nd in the NHL in power play perc...
