  1. Flyers acquire forward Kevin Hayes from Winnipeg for a 5th round pick 2019 draft
  2. 7). Today in Flyers History: June 3, 1975: The back-to-back Stanley Cup champion Flyers completed a major trade that would be officially announced the next day. Philadelphia agreed to trade speedy center Bill Clement, goaltender Don "Smoky" McLean and their 1975 first-round pick (Alex Forsythe) to the lowly Washington Capitals. In return, the Flyers received the first overall pick of the 1975 NHL Draft. The Flyers used the pick on rugged two-way forward Mel Bridgman. To date, the 1975 Draft marks the only time in franchise history the Flyers have held the first overall pick of the Draft.
  3. 4) Today in Flyers History: On May 27, 1975, the Flyers defeated the Buffalo Sabres, 2-0, in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final to win their second straight championship. Bob "the Hound" Kelly broke a scoreless deadlock in the opening seconds of the third period, and Bill Clement later added some insurance with a breakaway goal off a nice lead pass from Orest Kindrachuk. Just as with the previous year, Vezina Trophy winning goaltender Bernie Parent received the Conn Smythe Trophy as most valuable player in the playoffs. F Think the sun got in their eyes and the evil bat flew in the fog . bottom line they didn't score enough to beat the better team ........ !!!!!!! Boom...

  5. Selected by The Hockey News as the preseason favorite to win the Stanley Cup, the 2009-10 Philadelphia Flyers had a topsy turvy season filled with injuries, streaky play and an in-season coaching change from John Stevens to Peter Laviolette. After winning a final-day shootout win over the New York Rangers to get into the playoffs, however, the Flyers caught fire in the postseason. On May 24, 2010, the Flyers closed out the Eastern Conference Final with a 4-2 win at the Wells Fargo Center in Game 5 against the Montreal Canadiens. With the victory, the Flyers advanced to the Stanley Cup Final for the eighth time in franchise history. After spotting the Habs a 1-0 lead in the opening minute of the first period, the Flyers settled down. A shorthanded goal by Mike Richards at the 4:25 mark tied the game. On the play, Richards raced over the middle for a loose puck. Challenged by a defender and met by desperately sliding Montreal Canadiens goaltender Jaroslav Halak venturing far out of his net, Richards dived headfirst and poked the puck past Halak toward the net. Popping quickly back up to his feet, the Flyers' captain claimed the puck near the left side of the crease and slid a backhander into the now-vacant cage. The usually stoic Richards whooped in glee as he was mobbed by teammates and the crowd went berserk. The 1-1 tie held until early in the second period, when Arron Asham and Jeff Carter scored goals spaced 84 seconds apart and the Flyers grabbed a 3-1 advantage. In the third period, the Habs threw everything they had at the Flyers. Scott Gomez cut the gap to 3-2 with 13:07 remaining. Finally, with 23 ticks remaining on the clock, Carter iced the game and series with an empty netter to restore a two-goal lead at 4-2. Michael Leighton, who recorded three shutouts earlier in the series, finished with 25 saves on 27 shots.
  6. 6) Today in Flyers History -- Pt. 2: On May 19, 1974, the team that general manger Allen and head coach Shero crafted defeated the Boston Bruins, 1-0, in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final at the Spectrum to become the first expansion team to win the Cup. A first-period power play deflection goal by Rick MacLeish was all Vezina and Conn Smythe Trophy winner Bernie Parent would need to backstop the team to their first of back-to-back Stanley Cup championships.
  7. The Flyers new coaching staff is the perfect example of the cyclical nature of this sport. The Flyers are going from first -timers, take-a-shot-at-it young management/coaches in Hextall and Hakstol to the tried-and-true, you-know-what-you-are-getting experienced Fletcher/Vigneault....and they have gone overboard in hiring Therrien and Yeo to go completely retro.. And while this is a scorched earth approach to coaching these Flyers players really did bring it on themselves. This is a team with enough talent to be a contender, but they started everything so slowly...They started games slowly...they started seasons slowly....Then when things got desperate they would show their talent and go on ridiculous runs like they did the second half of last year...The Flyers are a team crying out to have the whip taken to them. That is undeniable....and that is going to happen with these coaches. It is a HUGE risk however....If it doesn't work because these coaches are unwilling to bend to the new NHL...(See Babcock in Toronto) then the Flyers will have to blow this whole thing up from the GM down again...and with a different core of players... Sometimes it does work short term and that is why so many GMs take this easy way out. The players on the Flyers are going to be hit over the head with strong personalities and when Mike Yeo is the most stable/player friendly coach on your staff.....well...he is. Eklund ...
  8. Not so sure about this ..... Like a giant knife sitting behind your back ready to plunge into the spine ........ Yeo..... didn't like him in Minn,...or St louie...!!!!! time will tell ...... canes in six..
  9. The Philadelphia Flyers will likely send starting goaltender Carter Hart to the AHL on Monday, according to Dave Issac of the Philadelphia Courier Post. Isaac notes, however, that it will only be a paper move to make Hart eligible for the AHL playoffs,
  10. The Philadelphia Flyers announced today they have recalled forward Phil Varone from their American Hockey League affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, according to Executive Vice President & GeneralManager Chuck Fletcher.
  11. Today in Flyers History: On June 12, 2012, the Flyers acquired the negotiating rights to impending unrestricted free agent Mark Streit from the New York Islanders in exchange for minor league forward Shane Harper and a 2014 fourth-round pick. In 274 games with the Flyers, Streit would produce 140 points. In 2014-15, he led all NHL defensemen in power play points . Today in Flyers History: On June 12, 2002, the Flyers traded Brian Boucher and a 2002 third-round pick to the Phoenix Coyotes in exchange for Michal Handzus and Robert Esche.
