| Simon Gagne, with 11 goals in 16 games, is the NHL's comeback player of the year so far. |
| 11/10/2008 | 17 | 12 |
| The Flyers may have filled a need by trading for Matt Carle, but more likely it’s a sign the team is at a loss to figure itself out. The early return of Daniel Briere should help though. |

| With four wins in their past five, the Flyers have turned things around, largely because of their offense, outscoring opponents 23-12 in that span. |
| 10/27/2008 | 19 | 24 |
| The Devils made them do things a lot better, and now the Flyers are no longer winless. Jeff Carter's goals in four straight games have helped too. |
| 10/20/2008 | 24 | 6 |
| With the Phillies in the World Series, maybe the Flyers are thinking that no one in Philadelphia is paying attention to how bad they've been. |
| 10/13/2008 | 6 | 5 |
| The injuries along the blue line could be a real problem here, particularly if Marty Biron continues to keep the goaltending questions he revived in less than a period of the opener on the front burner. |

| Goalie Martin Biron earned his stripes in the playoffs, putting an end to questions that have surrounded this team for years. And having Simon Gagne back means 35 to 40 extra goals. |
| 04/07/2008 | 10 | 13 |
| They'll be underdogs against Washington just because the Caps are this season's media darlings, but the physical Flyers have seven 20-goal scorers and can't be taken for granted. |
| 03/31/2008 | 13 | 17 |
| The Flyers look like they've saved their season after a miserable second-half funk. Daniel Briere has justified his contract by stepping up in March, and Mike Richards is trying to do the same with four goals and seven points in six games, five of them wins. |
