Player and Play of the Week: October 26-November 1

After starting 4-2-1  on the season in seven games, the Flyers were quickly brought back down to Earth with a pair of regulation losses and an overtime loss this week, two to the Sabres and one to the Devils. There weren't many positives to take away, but we will try to as we pick another […]

October 27, 1971 On this day in 1971, Mike Ricci, the first-round pick of the Flyers in the 1990 NHL Draft –fourth overall — was born. The 1990 NHL Draft was considered to be one of the deepest in years and some 25 years later and those predictions rang true. Ricci was one of the many […]

Postgame Perspective: Old habit costs Flyers a point

  At 4-2-1, the Flyers entered Tuesday's game with a chance to prove this wasn't last year's team. They had survived the early flurry of challenges and picked up four wins to boot, the last coming in a shootout no less. That kind of momentum would need to be sustained. Facing a 2-6-0 Buffalo Sabres […]
