important dates for Flyers fans to watch for

Under the new front office, there are 14 important dates to keep in mind throughout the season. On October 12th, John Tortorella and Cam Atkinson will face off against Ivan Provorov and the Columbus Blue Jackets. This game will be crucial in determining the team's direction post-training camp, as Briere and Tortorella work to establish a new era for the Flyers. On October 17th, the Flyers will host the Vancouver Canucks, where Travis Konecny led the team to victory with a goal in the 3rd period after trailing 2-0.

The team will then face off against the defending Stanley Cup champions on October 24th at T-Mobile Arena, where they currently hold a record of 3-1-1. Another win against the champions could give the team a much-needed boost. On October 30th, the Flyers will take on Tony DeAngelo and the Carolina Hurricanes, with DeAngelo being one of the team's best offensive producers despite his poor defensive record.

On November 9th, Johnny Gaudreau will return to Philadelphia, along with Ivan Provorov who spent his last seven seasons with the Flyers. Provorov has achieved a Barry Ashbee Trophy, 65 goals, and 217 points during his time with the team. The battle of Pennsylvania will continue on December 2nd at PPG Arena, with the young and hopefully healthy Flyers looking to turn the series in their favor as the Penguins have won the last 7 out of 8 games.

On December 22nd, the Flyers will take on the newly revamped Detroit Red Wings, who are considered a fringe playoff team. This game is bound to be a battle. January 2nd and 21st will see the team travel to Canada to take on the Edmonton Oilers, which will start a grueling schedule of 14 games in just 27 days. On January 27th, the team will take on James Van Riemsdyk and the Boston Bruins, with Van Riemsdyk having spent the last 8 seasons as one of the Flyers' top scorers.

The Battle of Turnpike goes outdoors in Metlife Stadium in the 2024 NHL Stadium series on February 17th, followed up with a meeting with the Chicago Blackhawks and Connor Bedard on the 21st.

On March 4th, Kevin Hayes will be returning to Philadelphia as a member of the St. Louis Blues. Hayes held the team together in tumultuous times and helped lead them to their first playoff series in 2012. Despite all that has happened, Hayes deserves respect for the 4 years he spent with the team.

Lastly, on April 16th, the season finale for the new-look Philadelphia Flyers will take place. Will the team make a huge leap against the Washington Capitals? How will the prospects look on ice? Will the Flyers be picking high again?

Overall, it's an exciting season ahead for the Flyers with plenty of opportunities for the team to showcase their talent and prove themselves on the ice.
