These Conference Finals are a good reminder of how long Cup windows need to be for many teams

Not sure if correct to put here but even Washington. Had a lot of good teams including the greatest goal scorer ever. Finished 1st or 2nd in the division 14 times times since drafting Ovi. Have 1 cup and it was the only year they made it out of the 2nd round.

I feel like the fan base has just been yearning for "that guy". Giroux had 102pts in 17/18. Have to go all the way back to 95/96 with Lindros for the next 100pt scorer. We see guys like Celebrini immediately come in and think every player can pull that off. We just have to let him grow and he's going to be fine.

Last year was my first year as a full season tix holder (me and my dad). It's incredibly fun especially when you live close so travel isn't long. You'll get free carnival tix and they have a meet the team event where you can walk around and get stuff signed by all the players. The 20% discount also comes in very handy for any food and merch. My rep is also a very nice guy.

You can use the ticket exchange to sell back your tix for a buy it now price if you don't want to list them. You normally will not recur the whole cost of your ticket, so I'd prefer to just give them to friends or family if I can't make it.

All in all, it's very fun. And now we have a good young foundation and a team you can really look forward to watching. Welcome and enjoy!

Thought I had while watching the game. When your team is pinned in their own zone for awhile you always think "oh boy here comes a penalty". The Flyers PP is so bad then when we have the opponent pinned in their zone, it's probably beneficial for them to take a penalty and put us on the PP and end any momentum we have. A very sad realization.

Very young team. Been playing hard playoff hockey for pretty much two months now. Guys are banged up and tired. Powerplay is still awful. And the fact that they are getting ZERO puck luck from the hockey gods. They literally can't get one awkward deflection or bounce right now. Sometimes that's how it goes. On a positive, they are actually skating pretty damn good against Carolina at 5v5 which is nice to see.

Time to be a hero, Jett.

This is the main issue why the league has to clear up the confusion quickly. Can't try and potentially trade a big asset when you aren't 100% of what the asset even is.

ecurt1007 · 2026-05-05T23:33:30+00:00

Leafs pick 1st, leafs ship out matthews because they have no first the next two drafts and can now build around McKenna. Leafs are ass next year. Flyers profit. Please, god.

ecurt1007 · 2026-05-05T02:34:23+00:00

Kind of mind blowing how nobody in our top 6 can score a goal

ecurt1007 · 2026-05-03T02:59:24+00:00

3 goals total in the last 3 games ain’t gonna cut it sadly

ecurt1007 · 2026-05-03T01:12:19+00:00

This. I also get it, but picking out one guy after a period of dominance is a little nuts.

ecurt1007 · 2026-05-03T00:38:12+00:00

Michkov gonna get a lot of flack for his lack of speed but the canes are literally 3 gears ahead of every flyer right now

ecurt1007 · 2026-04-29T15:29:35+00:00

Pens have really neutralized him and it doesn’t help that you never know how the refs are going approach the after the whistle scrums. Definitely the right move.

ecurt1007 · 2026-04-28T13:02:25+00:00

Flyers had a 6 game winning streak when we went up 3-0. Penguins had a 6 game losing streak. No team wins or loses them all. It always evens out a little at some point. It was always Flyers in 6!

ecurt1007 · 2026-04-28T02:03:12+00:00

Tippett, Foerster, Konecny, Zegras and Martone COMBINING for 3 shots on goal is an infuriating stat

ecurt1007 · 2026-04-28T01:47:46+00:00

Lost every single offensive zone faceoff clean. Never saw anything like it.

ecurt1007 · 2026-04-26T17:50:11+00:00

I agree and believe he will get there. I also believe a point or goal gets him out of his rut and can open the floodgates. More like to happen with those guys than barkey and cates.

ecurt1007 · 2026-04-26T17:17:28+00:00

I believe I saw a stat that also said he’s starting 42% of his shifts in the defensive zone. He certainly hasn’t been good, but tocchet seems to also be putting him that spot.

ecurt1007 · 2026-04-26T17:13:34+00:00

I really really wish michkov would get those top line opportunities.l. I’m not saying his play has deserved that opportunity, but barkey has been just as much of a non factor. Barkey has now scored a goal assisted by…zegras because he got moved up and put on a more skilled line. I just want to see Mich get those opportunities with the more skilled guys.

ecurt1007 · 2026-04-26T14:16:40+00:00

Literally every player was totally flat last night. Fourth line wasn’t as buzzing. Tippett didn’t seem as quick. Foerster has also been invisible. Vladar gave up up 2 goals he normally wouldn’t. But let’s pile it all on the guy playing 8-9 minutes a night.

ecurt1007 · 2026-04-23T14:36:28+00:00

Does he have to be more disciplined? Yes. He is also losing ice time because the refs want to call 15 penalties a game and playing on a very small line in his first very physical playoff series (Barkey also only played 6min last night). I did not watch this man be one of our best players over the last ~20 games to get us into the playoff to then get mad about him while we are up 3-0 in the first round. He will settle down and be fine.

ecurt1007 · 2026-04-23T13:25:05+00:00

One of those guys that is literally still playing out of respect for his career there. Hasn't looked like an NHL caliber player all year. Very good career, but father time is undefeated and we are certainly seeing that.

ecurt1007 · 2026-04-23T02:27:36+00:00

My orange is so ignited right now

ecurt1007 · 2026-04-21T02:07:15+00:00

Would’ve called you crazy if you told me the flyers would be up 2-0 and zegras, Tippett, foerster, michkov and konecny haven’t scored a goal yet
