Milan Lucic, Andy McDonald, Dan Cleary and Stephane Robidas were among the surprise names on the list of 46 players invited to the Canadian Olympic hockey team's summer orientation camp Thursday.

It was a quiet day in the office of Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren. That doesn't mean he wasn't on the phone talking about and to players in the second day of the NHL free-agency period.

There is no question the Philadelphia Flyers had dreams of trading for Florida Panthers' defenseman Jay Bouwmeester.

Cap money is tighter compared to two years ago, when team made a pre-draft trade.

If the Canadiens can't swing a deal for Tampa C Vincent Lecavalier, Flyers C Daniel Briere could be the prize behind door No.

PAUL HOLMGREN has been at enough NHL entry drafts to know that he is participating in a giant roll of the dice and that after the first 10 selections, most of the players have an equal chance of being solid, big-league players.

Selecting 21st in tonight's NHL draft - that is, assuming they don't trade the pick - should net the Flyers a productive player.

For the Flyers, some of their first-round draft picks in the last 10 years have been good: Simon Gagne, Jeff Carter, Mike Richards, and Claude Giroux.

The Detroit Red Wings expect star defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom to play in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Philadelphia Flyers forward Simon Gagne had successful surgery on Thursday to repair damage in his right hip.

1987: Oilers right wing Jari Kurri scored at 6:50 of overtime, beating Flyers goalie Ron Hextall to give Edmonton a 3-2 win in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final, tying the series at one game apiece.

The Philadelphia Flyers announced today that center Danny Briere will undergo corrective eye surgery on Tuesday, May 19, according to club General Manager Paul Holmgren.

IWOULD LIKE to think that the Flyers were just trying to stir the free-agent pot when they acknowledged that former Ottawa goalie Ray Emery could possibly be with the team in camp this fall.
