Flyers Flash: Take a Breather
March 18, 2024 by Justin Giampietro (Premium THW Flyers Substack Content)
In this week’s edition of Flyers Flash, we look at some themes from the Flyers’ 3-2 win against the San Jose Sharks, their 6-2 blowout loss against the Toronto Maple Leafs, and their goal-fest loss to the Boston Bruins that ended 6-5. What were some overall takeaways?
Flyers’ Owen Tippett Has the Raw Talent to Become a Star
March 20, 2024 by Justin Giampietro
The Philadelphia Flyers have an interesting player in 25-year-old winger Owen Tippett. He has shown flashes of being a star, but his 45 points in 65 games, as someone who has already spent six seasons in the NHL, suggest he is what he is at this point — a second-line player. However, he has room for significant growth.

in 1967, the Philadelphia Flyers have been one of hockey’s most successful franchises over the last half-century.

Flyers Prospects Report: Rizzo, Bump, Kaplan & More
March 20, 2024 by Matthew Ward
The Philadelphia Flyers have eight prospects playing NCAA Division I hockey across the United States. These prospects represent programs ranging from those that are steeped in a winning tradition to relatively newcomers to the world of varsity college hockey. The departure of Flyers’ top prospect and Boston College star Cutter Gauthier in a January 2024 trade cleared the way for other college prospects in the organization to receive well-deserved attention from the media and fans alike.
Fast-Starting Flyers Hold on for Needed Win Over Maple Leafs
March 20, 2024 by Andrew McGuinness
The Philadelphia Flyers entered Tuesday night in desperate need of a spark. Losers of two straight and a middling 3-4-1 in March, the team’s grip on a playoff spot has become rather tenuous. By points percentage, the Washington Capitals even jumped them for the third spot in the Metropolitan Division, relegating the Flyers to a wild card position.
Flyers’ Cam York Has Elite Upside
March 20, 2024 by Justin Giampietro
Aside from Matvei Michkov and perhaps a player like Tyson Foerster, the Philadelphia Flyers don’t have all too many young players who have the potential to be top-line staples. Somewhat quietly, 23-year-old defenseman Cam York is doing so.
Rick MacLeish: A Star for the Flyers’ Broad Street Bullies
March 19, 2024 by Justin Giampietro
Visiting our Philadelphia Flyers Hall of Famers once again, we look at the impact forward Rick MacLeish had on the Orange and Black. One of the main stars of the Flyers’ Broad Street Bullies teams in the 1970s, he accomplished a lot in Philadelphia and spent a large majority of his time in the NHL there, too.
