– need to find a way to get your best player on the ice more. why not experiment with MM on the PK. work with him in practice. Hw silly of me as the flyers think they are a playoff team. no need to work on that and take a long term approach.
– the jett was impressive in his 7+ minutes. how long does this experiment last? over or under the 4 games he played last year. with florida on deck he will be in the press bx next game. flyer logic.
– as JJ said, flyers hanging with the best teams. love the “moral” victories 2 games into the season.
– very important point per boucher.
– bad call on the goalie in OT. brutal to me.
– imagine anyone thinking brinks spot was in jeopardy of not cracking the lineup.
– no MM in OT, see above post.
– dvorak with top line minutes. predictable.
– ex selke looking less and les nimble.
– this team is jus not good. need lots of parts to get it on track. dotn see that happening anytime soon.
– LHV with a big 5-2 win.

very torts esque. how long before they alienate him…
Hahaha! .897 for Ersson. Hardly awful. He stopped a lot of pucks. Very disappointed they didn’t steal another point or two these last two games. It was there for them. The reffing tonight and OT goal ruling were trash. Drysdale has been OK. I don’t care about his offense. He looks much better defensively. Speaking of offense, Zeev Buium scored his first NHL goal tonight en route to his first -4 game against the high octane scoring power of Columbus. Defensively, he’s making Drysdale look like Larry Robinson.

Not to turn this into a Jett vs Zeev debate but you did bring him up. Zeev is playing 20+ min a night and QBing the 1st PP unit in his 1st ever NHL minutes. He is going to take his lumps but the Wild think he is worth it for a team that isn’t going to the Stanley Cup this year. His first goal came in his second game while he was QBing the PP. Meanwhile Jett, who is the same age, is lucky if he plays 7 minutes a night every other game? Jett’s played 60 minutes in 2 years, Zeev has played 45 in 2 games. How much PP time did Jett get so far this year? Jett’s made the team 2 years in a row, how long did it take him to score his 1st goal? His 1st points? I’ll wait.
How many minutes do you think Zeev would be playing on the Flyers thin blue line if he was available? I get that you want to die on this hill for some reason but Jett was a mistake. That is on the GM, not the player.
Tocchet and Tortorella coach the game differently, sure. But the decision-making? That’s all too familiar. It arguably cost the team a shot at the postseason in 2023–24, and, more importantly, the team’s young talent is worse off.
Michkov, especially, needs someone who will give him the keys. Interim head coach Brad Shaw gave him them for his entire nine-game stint. Now, it’s potentially back to square one. That’d be a nightmare, given how dominant the 20-year-old Russian already is.
You should never overreact to one game. However, some things that were feared with the Tocchet hire came to fruition in Florida. Can he turn it around, or did the Flyers make another regrettable coaching hire?That was after game 1 but now after game 2 it doesn’t seem like it was a 1 off. Both Michkov and Konecny have seen their minutes crater under Tocchet so far while Coots minutes have exploded to pre back surgery TOI and Sanheim is putting up insane minutes.
Anyway, to soon for overreactions and the Flyers desperately need York back to help Sanheim’s minutes so let’s see what game 3 brings but he doesn’t trust MM or TK so far. Let’s see if Jett draws back to the press box for a vet.
I feel bad for Brink after he had a great game but Drysdale with 0 points and 0 SOG. Sanheim played another 30 minutes tonight. Neither keeper had .900 sv% tonight

The All-Star Weekend, which took a hiatus in favor of 4 Nations this year, will return at the New York Islanders’ UBS Arena next February. That will serve as a bon voyage event ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, which mark the return of NHL players for the first time since 2014.

It was a one off tournament, which may never happen again, that replaced the all-star game. It was great, exciting and really promoted the game, but ultimately meaningless warmup to the Olympics. In soccer it would be called a “friendly” tournament.
You’re actually doubling down on this claim! Hilarious! I don’t even bother watching All Star games any more. Those games are friendly. 4 Nations, and the World Cup games that came before, were anything but friendly. Did you actually watch any of the games? Yeah, we see this kind of hockey in All Star games every year!
