Rebuilds in the NHL are different. There can be tanking for long periods of time, or really short rebuilds where teams rebound quickly and become contenders. One thing that helps a short rebuild is lottery luck. Teams like New Jersey and the New York Rangers have been able to flip around rebuilds quickly and construct contending teams by winning…

Most Philly sports fans were probably watching the 76ers or the Phillies on Monday night. Only the diehards were viewing the Philadelphia Flyers, whose season lost its meaning months ago. Here's what most of you missed: The Flyers' attempt at their second three-game winning streak of the season fell short at the United Center. They allowed two…

In the grand scheme of things, the Philadelphia Flyers' current four-game winning streak is a blip on the radar screen of the 2022-23 season.

Over the last month or so, they've started to have more of the 25-and-younger contingent take a…

The team has suffered through a lot of losses, been stricken by injuries to key players, dealt with a coaching change, and said goodbye to one of the franchise's greatest-ever players in Claude Giroux. How bad has it been? The Flyers have accumulated a putrid 24-51-12 record and earned just 60 of…

The San Jose Sharks (11-19-7, seventh Pacific) will end the year by visiting the Dallas Stars (22-9-6, first Central).

The fight would…

Roster cut down days are never fun. Never have been and never will be. The deeper into a training camp that it gets, the harder some of the roster decisions become. On Wednesday, the Flyers reduced the training camp roster from 44 to 34 players (20 forwards, 10 defensemen and four goaltenders). The totals include injured players such as defenseman…

The Philadelphia Flyers were caught in purgatory over the past couple of seasons and didn't do anything this summer to clarify the direction of the team. Rather than trade away assets and begin rebuilding, the Flyers made big commitments to veterans Rasmus Ristolainen and Tony DeAngelo while not making any notable changes to improve a forward group…
