After another lopsided defeat to the Rangers that eerily resembled last week’s 9-0 embarrassment, this time an 8-3 margin, the statements made this week mean very little. This team is fractured beyond repair. It likely requires some sort of significant change. And the worst part is that in a year where there is so much uncertainty and hesitancy to take action, the Flyers might be stuck.

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.

The odds were already stacked against the Flyers when they faced the President's Trophy winners, the Washington Capitals, in the first round of the 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs, but it turned out to be a much closer series than the results showed. Our Series in Review series continues with a closer look at this playoff appearance.

It has been no secret that the Flyers greatest weakness for decades was finding a goalie that had the ability and the potential to get them to the next level. In just two short years, Carter Hart has appeared to transform that discussion.

We will look back at some of the top players of the decade for the Flyers, where there are certainly some obvious standouts that have cemented their place in franchise history. We will list five forwards, five defensemen and three goalies.

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.

When Flyers GM Ron Hextall re-signed Michal Neuvirth, the deal appeared to be a team friendly deal, that would have him being the backup or at the very least splitting time in the net this season.

VOORHEES — If the backbone of a team starts between the pipes

VOORHEES — In meetings between the goalie and former goalie, the younger one couldn’t believe it.

TORONTO — Conventional wisdom might suggest the Flyers should have gone with Steve Mason against the Toronto Maple Leafs Thursday night.
