One day after the players offered their thoughts on another lost season for the Flyers, GM Chuck Fletcher offered his thoughts.

It was another disappointing season for the Flyers. Another slow start through the first 25 games. Another season of chasing in the standings. Another season of chasing the game on a nightly basis.

The season will ultimately be known for the failure to meet expectations, to take that next step in the development of a contender, and the massive fallout behind it.

As it stands entering Tuesday’s NHL action, the Flyers are five points out of a playoff spot with 16 games to go.

For a change, the Flyers got off to a quick start and never looked back, leading nearly wire to wire in a 5-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres.

The Flyers announced on Saturday morning that goalie Carter Hart will be out at least 10 days with a lower-body injury.

For the Flyers, this would be a great spot to announce their presence as a team that should content down the road.

The week ahead is already a big one on the ice for the Flyers, but there are several intriguing storylines as the week moves ahead. Here are three that have stood out.

The Flyers handled the struggling Ducks with four first-period goals and never looked back, picking up their 10th win in the last 12 games to keep the line moving.

Flyers forward Dale Weise was not on the ice for practice on Friday and has apparently been told to stay home as the Flyers try to work out a trade for the veteran forward.
