A sloppy first period proved to be the undoing of the Philadelphia Flyers in their preseason opening 4-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs last night in London, Ont. The Flyers fell into a quick 3-0 hole in the first period, battled back to tie the game early in the middle stanza but let in the next goal shortly thereafter and were unable to find another equalizer.
The game was scoreless until t

The sense I got, however, was that th

There is still no concrete information to report on the status of Daniel Cleary, following an earlier report from HNIC’s Elliotte Friedman that the veteran winger’s previously announced arrangement with the Flyers had hit a snag and he would not be coming to Philadelphia.
Earlier this week, Detroit Free Press writer Helene St. James reported that Cleary and the Flyers ha

WILL CLEARY HOLD UP FOR THREE SEASONS?
Although it is technically only a professional tryout (PTO) for the time being, the widely reported three-year contract between Daniel Cleary and the Flyers should be officially acknowledged and announced by the time the opening night roster is set.
