When the Flyers play in Buffalo tonight, it will be a matchup of two vastly different teams.

Mike Richards #18 of the Philadelphia Flyers skates against the Pittsburgh Penguins during Game Six of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinal Round of the 2009 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs at the Wachovia Center on April 25, 2009 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The Flyers cut practice short Wednesday after the flu bug hit some members of the team.

Both Forsberg and the Gosselins need to go away for a long, long time. Forsberg's name now has run through the Hockey-rumor washing machine so many times that people are numb to it.

SCOTT HARTNELL knows his bread and butter. If Wayne Gretzky's office was behind the net, the Flyers' perpetual pest has built a home just inches in front of the opposing goalie's crease, and it's paying dividends.

Playing without Simon Gagne and Danny Briere , the Flyers didn't back down. Instead, they became aggressive.

It only took the Flyers about three minutes Saturday to achieve the team bonding they were trying to get from a recent three-day retreat in Florida.

Saturday afternoon's Flyers game was the perfect warm-up to Saturday night's World Series clash between the Phillies and Yankees at Citizens Bank Park.

Danny Briere chases the puck with San Jose's Dan Boyle. Briere will likely miss today's game with a groin strain after sitting out most of last season with groin and abdominal injuries.

The Flyers tried to push defenseman Randy Jones through reentry waivers, but one of his former coaches wouldn't let it happen.

Written By: Mark "The Hard Hitter" Ritter With 10 games behind them and a record of 5-4-1 to show for their efforts, the Philadelphia Flyers are off to a decent start.

The worst start of Simon Gagne's 10-year career may be injury-related. The Philadelphia Flyers' veteran left winger played just one shift in the third period of Sunday's 4-1 loss to San Jose and could miss Tuesday night's game in Washington because of lower-body soreness.

There was a method to Simon Gagne's madness. It turns out that it wasn't just demons from a goal-scoring drought that were dancing in Gagne's head.

Claude Giroux notched the lone goal of the shootout as Philadelphia clipped Boston, 4-3, at Wachovia Center.

The Flyers will have their captain and best player in uniform for tonight's game against San Jose as the NHL decided not to suspend Mike Richards for his hit on Florida Panthers' left winger David Booth on Saturday night.

It has been a long road trip for the Sharks, but they couldn't have picked a better city to wrap the swing in.

Danny Briere had two goals, Arron Asham scored for a third straight game, and Simon Gagne ended his longest goal drought to start a season, helping the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Florida Panthers 5-1 on Saturday night.

The Flyers and Florida Panthers meet for the second time in just over a week this evening, this time at Philadelphia's Wachovia Center.

Claude Giroux notched the lone goal of the shootout as Philadelphia clipped Boston, 4-3, at Wachovia Center.

Paul Holmgren knows that by the time the Flyers play again Thursday night against the Boston Bruins, his team could be nine points behind the Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers in the Atlantic Division standings.
