Philadelphia Flyers

John Tortorella is already very concerned about the ‘standards and accountability’ inside the Philadelphia Flyers locker room

The Philadelphia Flyers are a franchise in flux. In mid-June, they named veteran NHL bench boss John Tortorella as their newest head coach to try and bring some stability to a team that is anything but stable.

In shocking news to exactly no one, Torts is already telling the media that he is very concerned about the culture inside of the Flyers locker room. Thursday, Tortorella spoke on SiriusXM NHL Network Radio regarding those concerns.

Report: Barry Trotz interviewing with the Philadelphia Flyers for their head coaching position

The 2022 Barry Trotz sweepstakes are getting hotter as the Philadelphia Flyers are the newest team to throw their hat into the ring. If Philly were to get the 2018 Stanley Cup winner to sign on, he’d remain in the Metropolitan Division with both the Islanders who fired him and the Capitals who he resigned from.

Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported Friday on The Jeff Marek Show that the Flyers are bringing in Trotz for an interview “soon” and “will make a huge pitch for him.”

Tom Wilson chirped the Flyers after they complained about Alex Ovechkin being on the ice for late game PPs during their blowout win

The Washington Capitals destroyed the Philadelphia Flyers in more ways than one on Tuesday. Six Flyers players got hurt in the 9-2 drubbing. But perhaps most concerningly, the Flyers’ collective pride also got injured late in the game.

Philly gets absolutely flamed: Capitals beat Flyers 9-2

The Washington Capitals took on the Philadelphia Flyers at home on Tuesday as they sought their fourth win in a row. Could they get there or could Philly play spoiler?

Alex Ovechkin kicked things off with a backhand that got behind Carter Hart. TJ Oshie finished off a beautiful passing play to make the lead two. James Van Riemsdyk almost immediately struck on a breakaway to cut that lead in half. Martin Fehervary dangled the lead right back to two before the first period was over.

Lars Eller finished off another great passing play to add to the advantage early in the second. Conor Sheary was left all alone in front of the net and he dangled the goal total to five. Matt Irwin found the endzone for six. Lars Eller, extra point was good. Garnet Hathaway scored the eighth and I’ve run out of cliche ways to describe goals going in. JVR for a random pinball goal. Johan Larsson for nine.

Capitals beat Flyers 9-2!

Live blog: Dmitry Orlov-less Capitals take on lowly Flyers

The Washington Capitals have won three games in a row all against teams that will be in the Eastern Conference playoff bracket in a few weeks. Now they will try to extend that streak against a team not so fortunate in the Philadelphia Flyers.

The Caps will suit up without one of their top defenseman in Dmitry Orlov as he is out with a lower-body injury.

Every point is huge for the Capitals right now as they look to escape the second Wild Card spot and an almost for sure matchup with the powerhouse Florida Panthers. They are still four points back of the Pittsburgh Penguins for third in the Metropolitan Division with two games in hand.

Tonight’s game is on ESPN+ so yet another game without Joe and Craig. Check out the Clearance Sale, which features a ~$2 Stanley Cup champions shirt.

Report: Capitals ‘have quietly kept an eye on’ Claude Giroux’s availability as trade deadline approaches

We learned in mid-February from Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman that the Capitals are looking for help in their forward ranks via trade. Friedman would even go on to name Seattle’s Calle Jarnkrok by name as a potential fit.

Well, now we have another potential name and it’s a big one. Brandon Sommermann of The Brotherly Bullies reports the Caps have “quietly kept an eye on the Claude Giroux situation.”

Caps fall flat against the Flyers in Philly: Flyers beat Capitals 2-1

The Capitals were not good against the Rangers in their comeback game from a week off. They looked to get back on track against the Flyers in Philadelphia, Saturday.

Claude Giroux scored the opening goal before I could even tweet about nets being crashed. Cam Atkinson roofed a loose puck to put Philly up two. TJ Oshie got the power play on the board with a snipe to cut the lead in half.

Flyers beat Capitals 2-1.
