The Flyers will have the 2nd best record in the conference on Christmas Day and the 6th best record in the entire league. Merry Christmas to everyone but their miserable haters.
cant wait to get tickets for that December 2025 banner raising ceremony. amazes me what flyers fans now accept as “success”.
go flyers brick by brick.
Blue line competence and goaltending can take a team pretty far. The Drysdale/Andrae pair has been a revelation. They were supposed to get caved in because of size, but that has not happened. I hope Tocchet has learned if he wants to roll 4 lines, he is going to have to put some talent on the 4th line as opposed to “culture guys”.
Probable playoff contender is an improvement. However, to avoid purgatory Briere will have to trade assets to improve the roster. Prospects in the pipeline will not be enough to push the team to a true Cup contender. I do believe the Hughes trade was an insight into the future when the few times an elite talent becomes available. With all teams having cap space now with the cap rapidly rising, it will be a highly leveraged seller’s market. Now, there will be more Zegras type trades out there in the future also. He has to be involved in those and hit big like Zegras.
On a side note, that TOR 1st just keeps elevating in value. Grebenkin has more points then Laughton so far this season (granted Grebenkin has played 7 more games).
will there? seeing how he has rebounded and stayed healthy teams may be more gun shy to give up on players of his ilk. especially when they make a coaching change and don’t see said player play for the new coach.
pleasantly surprised he has kept GH and ND, and even juulson on the bench. Will it last is the question. when the 4th line has a bad game or 2, and they will, will hepivot to the old worn blanket. giving GH that 2-year unneeded ext is laughable. another guy who should have been moved.
buffalo is open for business. Any deal for Dahlen or Tage would have to include MM or Martone. Seeing the path the flyers are taking both should be available. If dahlin and Tage have no trade clauses can’t see them waiving for buffalo south.
Byram and Power you can probably put a decent package together.so can 30 other teams.
Buff wants the playoffs as well; doubtful they want a futures package. Also, Leary about bringing in players who know nothing but losing and kind of accepted it. they would fit right in with TK sanheim and ex selke.
Second game in a row where the Flyers left points on the table against inferior opposition. 1 out of 4 points where they should really be beating their opponents and taking at least 3 there. Playing down to their competition again. They let Penarin and Zibanejad beat them yesterday. It’s all the Rags have really. Even bad teams have very good players in this league. Goalie depth is their biggest issue now over scoring depth. Ersson has not been hood the last two games after putting together a stretch where he was winning, however imperfectly. They can still score enough to win games.
lol. their is no such thing when you look at the eastern conference.
must have missed it when the flyers became an elite team.
I wonder if Barkey is being showcased for a post Christmas trade?
he will be a healthy scratch….
I believe it is safe to assume Ersson is a below average backup goaltender playing in the NHL. The third goal at the end of the second period was a shot that needs to be stopped. Ersson is now sitting at a .869 save %, there is no way a team can make the playoffs playing a goal 30 or more games with such poor results. Even if he can get back to his career .886 save % will not be good enough, especially considering this HC is certainly more concerned about defensive responsibility over offensive attack.
The 4th line can easily be reshuffled with players already on the roster and the HC just will not do it. He only allows the team to go to attack mode right after a PK. For Briere to be shopping for a 4th line center when that position can be easily filled internally is foolish. Of course, I expect that path to be chosen.
Nd- Abols – GH is not a an nhl viable 4th line.
IMO they need to replace all 3. after all these years they still can’t even produce a solid 4th line internally. I do not think they have anyone on the phantoms to fill the 4th line role the coach envisions. he seems to have a 1 track mind of the role of a 4th line.
refuses to have grebenkin play every game in that role. Said a while back can’t wait to see who they acquire to be the next Grant/Thompson.
Sam has never been that good no matter where he has played professionally. If they re-sign him with a raise that will be very funny.
what evidence is there risto will cut the goals by a good bit? there is next to no chance carl puts up half point per game rest of the way. nothing but an ok dime a dozen 4th line player.
there is very little separation from top to bottom. all propped up by artificial points. like the flyers 4 games up on buffalo. that is not a huge deficit at all. this is what the owners want. makes for boring hockey. like how the flyers and others play.
you should not get any points for losing. never ever. not sure why they find that hard to implement. regulation wins having the same value as OT and shootout wins is also flawed. again, this is what the owners want to prop up teams.
go flyers. brick by brick.
who will they trade a 1st for to replace the forest? looking forward to seeing the forest back for the ECF.
One game is a small sample size but holding MTL, which does have a decent offense, to one goal at home is a nice start. They’re only 32 games into the season so things are still a little tight. Which team in the bottom half of the conference looks like they’re going to turn things around and start on a 7-3 streak any time soon? The NHL has had the loser point for a quarter of a century now. Perhaps going outside and yelling at clouds will be more effective than complaining about that.
doesn’t matter how long (hasn’t been 25 years) they have had it, its dumb. no complaining, stating simple facts you fcs.
any of those teams in the conference can go on a positive or negative run. sabres 3-0 last 3. panthers 6-3-1 last 10. pens 0-6 last 6. makes for boring ass hockey. begging and praying for OT.
go flyers. path to the ECF goes through philly.

huge game for buffalo. bringing up the rear they need to go on a run…..
will GH ever sit? accountability only applies to some. he offers next to nothing at this point. he is spent.
hope they can find a way to get MM some more minutes. Nah no need.
LOL – this is completely untrue but not unexpected from you, you’re such a drama queen it’s somewhat laughable, if it wasn’t so pathetic. Briere’s first draft in 2023 they took two offensive kids in Michkov and Bonker in the first round. They also took Barkey that year, he’s small but he’s a highly offensive kid. The year after he was drafted he finished 4th in OHL scoring with 102 points. These are not 200 foot juggernauts, they’re high-end skilled kids.
2024 was a bit of a shit draft year outside the top six kids, they drafted for position there and if you look behind Luchanko and Berglund there’s no one screaming out that they should’ve taken this kid, or that kid. 2025 again they took a high offensive guy in Martone, he finished 7th in OHL scoring with 98 points.
Taking MM was a no brainer even stevie wonder could see it (same with martone or if hey took hagans). “Bonker” (another gay flyers nickname) does not project to be an offensive dman at the nhl level. If you paid any attention to his point production, you would know where he accumulated a lot of them and that will not translate to the nhl.
The flyers have a type they prefer. That is a fact. Keep arguing otherwise. Taking a few others who are not that type doesn’t change what I said. Their actions speak for themselves. Go flyers brick by brick.
Per danny:“But like I said, when you’re not spending $12 million on a player, or even two like Edmonton does… Colorado has three or four high-end guys. We’re not going to be built that way. So depth will be important to us.”
Lame take on comcast ownership. They spend and go the extra mile. They just hire incompetent people to run the flyers. That is the main issue.
Looks like York back. “Murch” is out.
Played well though need that vet presence in juulson. Really makes one wonder will Andrae come out will RR returns.
Would anyone be shocked?
you calling anyone an idiot is pure entertainment. you are nothing but a homer suck flyers ass fan. not a hockey fan as you don’t know much. you eat their shit and like it.
– tocchet, like I said, is a losing coach. his record proves that.
– since you have comprehension issues I will say it again. There hasn’t been much diff with the forest or york out of the lineup. as you said again simple.
– yes you talked shit. is the jett still a better prospect in your eyes over buium?
– comprehension again. I said the 2 orginization were shit organizations. that’s a fact. you fluffing your feathers saying the flyers are in a playoff spot and vancouver isn’t doesn’t change that one iota dipshit.
– I dont kow what packages were offered nor did I imply I did. What I simply stated was what they accepted doesn’t mean that was the best offer. that comprehension thing again. Was MM a better piece than rossi or buium? no idea what perrault has to do with the conversation, though logic would tell me if vancouver wanted him the rangers would have no issue sending him packing.
at the end of the day your just a dumb fuck flyers fan who really believes this team is on the path to cup contention. Brick b brick. go flyers.
.609, read it and weep. That’s Tocchet’s record the last 4 seasons for “2 shit organizations.” Which is it? How did Tocchet get that record with not one but 2 “shit organizations” if he’s such a terrible coach? This is how I know how completely ignorant you are: Consistent self-contradiction.
I was busting on the Buium lovers about his atrocious early season minus numbers. I also said he’s a fine prospect with some fine offensive skills . . but he’s still a defensive liability. Today? Buium is the better, he’s in the NHL but still a flawed player. The trade is going to help him. Good D-minded coach in Foote, a team that won’t cut his ice time, like MIN was at times, no matter how many goals against he’s on for. He’s in the NHL and Luchanko isn’t. Get back to me in 1-2 years. Was MM a better piece in what? A trade the Flyers reportedly didn’t do anything other than, maybe, kick the tires on? Again, Hughes OK’ed the trade but hasn’t committed to extending.
– the comprehensive thing again. Was I not clear talking about his career? But hey use 4 years if it makes you feel good.
– facts show flyers and canucks are 2 losing peas in a pod
– comprehension rears its head again. Pretty clear what I asked about MM
– who care what Hughes approved. He didn’t have trade protection. Are you insinuating he didn’t want to come to the tocchet lead flyers who they said will attract players?
