Flyers

Positives and negatives are always a part of the game, but a season that ends like the Flyers did with the conclusion of the regular season on Sunday makes the negatives outweigh the positives. Here are six areas where the Flyers season went wrong.

The Flyers feverishly looked for the winning goal in the final minutes of regulation and overtime, but ultimately could not find it as they fell to the Carolina Hurricanes in the final game of the 2016-17 season, 4-3, in a shootout on Sunday night at Wells Fargo Center.

And then there was one. The Flyers take the ice for one final time in the 2016-17 season on Sunday night. They will face the Carolina Hurricanes, a team they have managed to beat three times already this season.

As the Philadelphia Flyers close their 50th season in the NHL, it is obviously disappointing without a coveted playoff spot. However, we take a look back and celebrate the entire body of work over five decades and have a little fun with some of the faces and names who have made up 50 seasons of everything that is Flyers hockey.

The upcoming offseason and subsequent 2017-18 season are a crucial one for both GM Ron Hextall and head coach Dave Hakstol, who have to move the Flyers ahead in their progression to contention.

The Lehigh Valley Phantoms finally got their magic number to one point from clinching a playoff spot with a 4-2 win over the Springfield Thunderbirds on Saturday night.

The Flyers scored two goals in the first and two more in the second to take a 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets in their penultimate game of the 2016-17 season on Saturday afternoon at Wells Fargo Center.

As is tradition on the final weekend of the regular season, the Flyers presented their annual team awards prior to Saturday’s game against Columbus.

Two games remain on the Flyers season as the final weekend begins. It will start for the Orange and Black on Saturday afternoon against the Columbus Blue Jackets, who have locked up their playoff spot in third place in the Metropolitan Division.
