Greatest Roster Series: Philadelphia Flyers Before the extended success of the Red Wings was that of the Oilers; before the dynasty in Edmonton was the dynasty on Long Island; and before the Islanders there was the Broad Street Bullies in Philadelphia.
Grading The Deals: Flyers Trade Carter, Richards Over the course of a couple of hours on the afternoon of Thursday, June 23, the Philadelphia Flyers shook up the NHL, the entire hockey world, and their Stanley Cup-contending roster.
What Now For The Flyers? It wasn’t just goaltending and injuries that hindered the postseason advancement of the Flyers, lacking what the elite teams still remaining have: a bonafide shutdown line to match up against the opposition’s top line.
Not Time To Panic For Fly Guys; Not Yet Anyway The Flyers entered the 2008-09 campaign with a lot of promise, and so far have delivered only 1 point in three games. Three losses, one being in overtime, the Flyers have dug themselves an early hole. However, it is not time to panic, not yet anyway.
Not The Time To Panic The players are frustrated, the coach is lost, and the owner is simply irate. Not much seems to be going well in Philadelphia right now, but despite a very ignominious start to the 06-07 campaign at 1-6-1 (low-lighted by a 9-1 loss to the Sabres), Flyer fans should not be ready to throw everything out the window like owner Ed Snyder is.
