From a Game 1 comeback win to a wide-open and rowdy final five games that featured tons of scoring and plenty of animosity, the Flyers 2012 series against the Pittsburgh Penguins defined the rivalry perfectly. Our Series in Review series continues with a look at the 2012 matchup between the Flyers and Penguins.

They were set to face off against the New York Rangers in the first round of the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs. In his first season behind the bench was now Flyers head coach Alain Vigneault. What ensued was a battle of a seven-game series that featured ups and downs the entire way. Here is a closer look at the Flyers 2014 playoff series against the Rangers.

For the next few weeks, we’ll take a look back on several playoff series in Flyers history, both won and lost by the Flyers, and review them to see some of the turning points within the series and how the result could have been different. We begin with the Flyers last playoff series back in 2018 against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Last week, Carter Hart was named the NHL's Rookie of the Month for January. On Monday, another honor came in, as Hart was named the NHL's Second Star of the Week.

In an offseason where the Flyers are coming off another year without advancing in the playoffs, there is the sense that after six years of being defined by being a one-and-done team or not making the postseason altogether, the Flyers has become indifferent to the results. GM Ron Hextall spoke to the media on Thursday and focused on the continuation of the Flyers process to becoming a contender.

It turned out that the biggest lineup addition was a leading player gutting it out. Sean Couturier missed Game 4 and was a lingering question mark for Game 5. Not only did he play, he scored the biggest goal of the season for the Orange and Black.

There are certainly many deserving players for many of the honors to be given, and that expands beyond just the team awards. Here are predictions for the Flyers team awards and some NHL awards where the Flyers deserve to be considered.

A 5-4 shootout loss to the lowly Detroit Red Wings gave the Flyers a deserved result in more ways than one, knocking them from the top three in the Metropolitan Division and back into the wildcard race.

The Flyers were probably due for a game and result like this, but a new standard has been set for how the Flyers should approach a game and play and the team didn't live up to it in front of the home crowd on this night.

Aside from adding veteran defenseman Johnny Oduya through waivers, the Flyers remained quiet at the deadline. GM Ron Hextall met with the media following the deadline and focused on the team's current success while noting that prices were just too high to warrant a deal.
