After the players held exit interviews on Wednesday, John Tortorella was first to the podium on Friday as the Flyers head coach and management closed the book on the 2023-24 season. After having a few days to reflect, Tortorella was front and center discussing a number of topics. Ultimately, several themes prevailed. Tortorella expressed disappointment for the end of the season result, while noting progress throughout. He was asked about scratching captain Sean Couturier, how that was handled, and gave a passionate response on his process of communication with players.  Tortorella also ma ..read more

Andre Dillard, the former Eagles first-round pick, secured a huge pay day last season after signing with the Titans. His time there didn’t last long as he was released earlier this offseason. Though some thought Dillard may be a good depth piece the Eagles looked to bring back, it seems that won’t be the case. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Dillard is now signing with the Green Bay Packers. Packers have signed former Titans and Eagles OT Andre Dillard. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 18, 2024 The Eagles are projected to target some top offensive linemen in the draft which isn’t much ..read more

That may throw a wrench into things for some Eagles fans. Isaiah Rodgers was signed by the Eagles later last offseason as the Birds looked to give him a second chance and hopefully improve their roster for 2024. It certainly seems like that is far less likely to happen now. On Thursday, Rodger Goodell reinstated five players from gambling suspension per Tom Pelissero. Isiah Rodgers was not one of those names. The NFL is reinstating five players who were suspended indefinitely last year for violating the gambling policy: former #Lions WR Quintez Cephus, S C.J. Moore and DL Demetrius Taylor, #C ..read more

Starting roughly 12 hours after the 2023-24 season came to an end in Game 82 for the Flyers, the players went through exit interviews and prepared to depart for the summer. One thing was evident, the sting of failing to make the playoffs after being competitive all season long was still very fresh. The other natural feeling is the awareness of the unknown between one season to the next. There are always changes to be made, and with the Flyers still in the midst of a rebuild, there are certainly changes and moves that could come over the next few months. Here are a few of the standout quotes fr ..read more

This will forever be known in Philadelphia as the Nic Batum game. Behind Batum’s season-high 20 points, the Philadelphia 76ers completed a wild comeback 105-104 win over the Miami Heat on Wednesday night at the Wells Fargo Center. Joel Embiid finished with 23 points, 15 rebounds and five assists. Tyrese Maxey added 19 points, three rebounds and six assists. De’Anthony Melton (back injury recovery) and Robert Covington (left knee bone bruise) were both out for the Sixers. Miami was led in the loss by Tyler Herro’s 25 points and nine assists. Jimmy Butler finished with 19 points, four rebounds ..read more

Tuesday night’s season finale for the Flyers was certainly a far cry from the previous season. In 2022-23, the season was essentially over by Thanksgiving. Everything after the trade deadline seemed rather meaningless. Games like that provide no juice, making it a struggle to find motivation to play them at all. That is where the Flyers deserve credit for the 2023-24 season. This team was scrappy. It knew it didn’t have the talent that others do, but scratched and clawed their way into playoff contention when no one gave them much of a chance. It’s what made the final result sting so much. As ..read more

After battling through a flurry of injuries, the Philadelphia 76ers ended the regular season on an eight-game winning streak. Their hot end to the season was not enough to help them avoid the NBA play-in tournament. Philadelphia finished in seventh place in the Eastern Conference, setting them up to face off against the Miami Heat on Wednesday night. The winner becomes the seventh seed and will match up against the New York Knicks in the first round of the playoffs. The loser will be in a win or go home contest against the winner of the East’s other play-in matchup between the Chicago Bulls an ..read more

The Flyers were drawing closer to that situation. Time was running out in regulation and, needing a win before the third period ended, the Flyers were going to have to pull the goalie. By the time they did, their playoff fate had already been decided. The Detroit Red Wings tied up the Montreal Canadiens with 3.3 seconds remaining in regulation to secure a point and officially eliminate the Flyers from playoff contention. In the final three minutes, the Capitals scored into the empty net to secure the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference in a 2-1 loss for the Flyers. The Capitals came o ..read more

Back-to-back wins on Thursday and Saturday gave the Flyers some life. There was a chance that they could be in a position to not only take over the final playoff spot after Tuesday night, but even clinch if everything broke their way. On Monday night, none of that happened, and it showed what happens when a team has to rely on watching the scoreboard. So now, the Flyers play the final game of the regular season, and the only control they have on their playoff lives depends solely on a regulation win over the Washington Capitals. In addition, the Flyers would need a regulation loss from Detroit ..read more
