The Flyers are getting close to the team they once were, but is it close enough?

After a dismal month of March that saw the Flyers lose 10 of their 17 games played, it felt like nothing could stop the bleeding.

The Flyers Found Some Important Pieces In Loss Against Islanders

While the Philadelphia Flyers did lose in a shootout to the New York Islanders, they did find themselves (and a point towards the standings).

Contextualizing the criticism of Flyers goalie Carter Hart

Philadelphia fans have a knack for reacting rashly to their sports teams. Flyers goaltender Carter Hart doesn’t deserve the paranoia.
