The Orange & Black’s Busy Week 3/4 – 3/10

The Philadelphia Flyers look to be on the rebound after the 2-1 shootout loss to the St. Louis Blues on Monday night. They Flyers were coming off an incredible win against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. The game concluded as it theoretically should have, with a Flyers win, but they unfortunately had a tough time getting passed the Blues’ goal, Jordan Binnington, and lost the game as Morgan Frost was the lone Flyer that scored in the shootout. The Flyers collected their 1 point for the overtime loss, but now have to face both of Florida’s teams to end out the week. Meanwhile, Philadelphia Flyers’ General Manager, Danny Briere, has made some moves this week that impact the team as the trade deadline ends.

The Flyers’ Road Ahead: 2/27-3/2

After a week with three games, the Philadelphia Flyers managed to win two points out of the possible six. They started the week off with a victory over the Chicago Blackhawks before losing at home to the New York Rangers and then in Pittsburgh to the Penguins. Fortunately, both the Rangers and the Carolina Hurricanes lost their Sunday games as well. The Flyers still sit third (7 points behind 2nd place) in the Metro with a playoff spot.

The Philadelphia Flyers and the Importance of the Games Ahead

The Philadelphia Flyers have a week of important games ahead of them late in February. After the Flyers lost in overtime last week to the Toronto Maple Leafs as well as an abysmal loss to the New Jersey Devils in the MetLife Stadium Series game this past weekend, they now have to contend with both the Devils and the New York Islanders as both teams are closing in on the Flyers’ playoff spot. The Flyers were recently very close to eclipsing the New York Rangers for the number one spot in the Metropolitan Division after they passed the Carolina Hurricanes for the number two spot, but losing a few games has put them six points behind the Hurricanes and twelve points behind the Rangers. The three games this week will allow the Flyers to tie the Hurricanes should they rally from their two-game losing streak to beat the Chicago Blackhawks, the Rangers, and their old rivals, the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The New Era of Orange: Now with Dominance

The Philadelphia Flyers tied their win streak for the season last night when they took a fifth consecutive win. Five is no small potatoes and compared to the twelve-game win streak the Oilers are on, some might not find it that impressive, but the person that thinks that is not a Flyers fan. Fans of the orange & black saw the team come off one of the worst seasons in recent memory. They then declared a rebuild, and (as of today according to MoneyPuck) have an 82.8% chance of making the playoffs while closing in on the number one spot in the Metropolitan Division. The Flyers beat two of the best teams in the NHL within the span of a week. What’s made this team decimate two of the best teams not just in the Central Division, but the NHL during the course of this win streak?

The Flyers Past and the Bright Orange Future

Since Monday night, the Philadelphia Flyers have become the talk of the NHL-world. It all started with a trade made by the Flyers organization during the 1st period of the Flyers vs the Pittsburgh Penguins. Management had decided to trade one of their top prospects, Cutter Gauthier, to the Anaheim Ducks for defenseman Jamie Drysdale and a 2nd Round Pick in the 2025 Draft. Flyers fans were stunned and rendered temporarily speechless before the anger kicked in and outcry poured all over social media.
