Danny Briere, Sean Couturier and the Philadelphia Flyers Quandary at the Forward Position
By Dustin Leed (@D_LEED) The curious case of Danny Briere provides a simple proposal, really. Does Danny Briere really fit with the Philadelphia Flyers? The simple, far less cumbersome answer: no. Easier said than done. When the prized free agent from the 2007 offseason signed a massive eight-year, $52-million dollar contract with the Flyers that [...]

Flyers Catch A Predator

After signing Ilya Bryzgalov and anointing him the presumptive franchise netminder, this was the type of game that the Philadelphia Flyers were expected to play, and win, on a regular basis.

Zac Rinaldo’s World
By Dustin Leed It’s not often that you see the words skill, calm and composed in the same sentence with Zac Rinaldo. But you may be surprised at the Zac Rinaldo you see at this year’s Flyers training camp. He’s still crazy, he’s still an entertainer, he’s still as tough as they come and the [...]

For Flyers, season with promise fizzles in end
By David Strehle Three-quarters of the way through the 2010-11 season, it looked to be one of the most memorable years for a storied Philadelphia Flyers franchise. With each passing victory, the team climbed up the rankings of the all-time starts to Flyers’ seasons. Peter Laviolette’s squad was right up there with the mid-70′s teams, the 1979-80 year [...]
