The Philadelphia Flyers are celebrating the Spectrum (their former home across the parking lot) later this month. Though he's been invited to join the team's other former captains, Eric Lindros will not be in attendance.

With injury comes opportunity. And in the case of young Flyers rearguard Braydon Coburn, the injury (blood clot) that's keeping Kimmo Timonen out of the lineup gives Coburn a great opportunity to emerge as a star for the Flyers.

There are some around the NHL who think that the the-powers-that-be wanted to see a Canadian team win the Cup for the first time in 15 years. But the Flyers put a quick and decisive end to that vision, and now they've got Sidney Crosby in their sights.

The Flyers were rolling to an easy Game Three victory over the Canadiens on Monday night when the silly pills kicked in, and Derian Hatcher nearly tossed the win away with a thoroughly inexcusable hit on Francis Bouillon.

Spinal Tap lead signer David St. Hubbins said “There’s a fine line between clever and stupid,” and the Flyers proved that point as Joffrey Lupul bagged the series-winning goal in overtime to propel the seemingly-cursed Flyers into the second round.

Its hard to deny the abrupt turnaround the Flyers have made this season after last year's catastrophic performance. But if they don't win tonight's Game Seven against the Capitals, it might well be John Stevens' final game as their head coach.

After a rocky start to his time in Philadelphia, playmaking forward Daniel Briere has been revitalized following the trade deadline acquisition of linemate Vaclav Prospal. And now, the Flyers have re-emerged as a legitimate Cup contender.

With Teemu Selanne reunited (and it feels so good) with his mates in sunny Anaheim, the last real big free agent prize expected to "come out of retirement" is Peter Forsberg. Could "Foppa" land in Philadelphia for a return engagement?

While it was Hall of Famer Bobby Clarke taking the responsibility for the recent failure of the Philadelphia Flyers, the real causes of the problems that plague the once-proud franchise are far more profound. Jerry Del Colliano takes a closer look at the Flyers' woes in his latest column.

Is Brian Leetch headed to Broad Street? It certainly looks possible. The Flyers got caught in a cap conundrum, with their now-retired captain Keith Primeau leaving them on the hook for his significant salary up until the beginning of the season, by which time Kim Johnsson had already left via unrestricted free agency.

The Philadelphia Flyers signed Ken Hitchcock to a two-year contract extension this week, a sign that GM Bobby Clarke is trying to provide the franchise with some much-needed stability. And if that's the case, his next task should be to find a way to keep star center Peter Forsberg in the fold. Jerry Del Colliano takes a look at the latest news from the City of Brotherly Love.

Criticism is nothing new for the Philadelphia Flyers Hall of Fame former player and current general manager. The latest move by Clarke has more than the Philly papers talking. The Flyers’ GM signing of Vancouver’s sought after prospect, Ryan Kesler, to an offer sheet has left players, fans and the media all slack-jawed.
