Gary Bettman spoke to the media about the NHL’s Return to Play Plan and I am very impressed with their idea. It’s not the most perfect concept in the world as it is a little gimmicky at times, but ultimately, I think it will work!
It actually gives an advantage to the Philadelphia Flyers so hey, why complain? I also compare the NHL’s idea to the disgusting proposal by the MLB owners. STOP BEATING AROUND THE BUSH!!!
The Flyers were long rumored to be interested in and to hire Joel Quenneville as their head coach, but the veteran bench boss opted for Florida instead. The Flyers did hire another coach with a solid track record in Alain Vigneault, and he has proven to be a perfect fit in Philadelphia. But what makes him so successful?
With everything going their way, pushing pause had to be difficult. Flyers GM Chuck Fletcher joined Mike Gill on The Sports Bash on 97.3 ESPN on Monday afternoon and offered his thoughts.
Ron Hextall was fired as Flyers GM over a year ago in late November of 2018 and yet his fingerprints remain all over this roster. In an interview with NBC Sports Philadelphia’s John Clark, Hextall expressed his feelings for the current team and the young players experiencing some success.
For the next few weeks, we’ll take a look back on several playoff series in Flyers history, both won and lost by the Flyers, and review them to see some of the turning points within the series and how the result could have been different. We begin with the Flyers last playoff series back in 2018 against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Over the course of the season suspension, the NHL put together lists of the top plays for each team. There are still several games Flyers fans can look back on with great fondness this season, especially as the team started to make a push for the playoffs and challenged for a division title. So with that, here are our Top 10 games of the Flyers 2019-20 season (so far).
The NHL has been releasing videos of the Top 10 plays for each team so far this season. The Flyers video was released a couple of weeks ago and here is a look at the list.
By now, everyone knows of the viral videos of Kevin Hayes and his nicknames for teammates or mic’d up moments on the ice this season. During the NHL’s current suspension of play, Hayes is letting that personality shine off the ice, and fans have Chuck Fletcher to thank for it shining through.
It remains a mystery at this point if and when the season will return. Who knows how much of a regular season will be left after this suspension? Who knows what the playoffs will look like? But whenever the league comes out of this stoppage and gets back to playing, let it be known that the Flyers window to compete is just opening up.
The Flyers secured their eighth straight win, defeating the Hurricanes, 4-1, on Thursday night and moving into a tie for the Metro Division lead after Washington lost to the Rangers in overtime.
