Flyers get wake-up call from cross-state rivals The Flyers just got a wake-up call. These are not the Penguins of the last two seasons.

Flyers prove their toughness on all levels in defeating Capitals It was Fan Appreciation Night at Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday. Nothing says thank you more than the most important win of the season. Granted, that's a tired statement anymore. They are all important to the Philadelphia Flyers.
