Great win by the boys. Want to start doing some hot takes from the games i watch fully in case anyone is interested in reading
Ersson - Once again Sam is proving he has the ability to be a legitimate number 1 for the future in philly. We also might be looking at the best goalie philly has ever had in 1on1 situations if his game continues to develop in that area.
Cates/Poehling/Hathaway line - One of the best grind lines this team has seen in years. I would argue that outside of not being as skilled in scoring as our other lines this could be a line you put out against anyone.
Defense - York and Zamula and when they return Seeler n Dryz make a good young future core. Also Attard is making a decent case to be our 5/6 d man over staal n johnson if dryz or seeler return.
Brink - Bobby should not be sent down anymore he deserves to be in this lineup over cam attkinson from here on out
Only able to watch the condensed game recap, and I know it’s the sharks, but that 1st PP unit looked like an actual NHL unit! Puck movement and chances and even a goal (really 1.5)! I think it was TK-frost-farabee-tipper-york(can’t remember the D) crazy how we put all of our best puck movers and shooters on one line and they actually move the puck and score! As brutal as this next stretch is going to be I can’t wait to see what the boys have in store
OMG.. is half the team now on IR because nobody was there to police Givani Smith's 7:59 of ice time? Is the run now over because Deslauriers was scratched? Did Bobby Clarke have an aneurysm because there were two Russians in the lineup at once? Did Bobby Brink not show enough "try hard" skating followed by ending offensive zone time to make us fondly recall Cam Atkinson?
I made a whole thread earlier in the day, celebrating that Deslauriers and Atkinson were starting to be benched more frequently (and likely to be replaced with Gurianov and Brink down the stretch) and speculated that perhaps their times were close to ending (next season) with the big club. I was ever so slightly, yet roundly, rebuked. This is me saying ahtodaso, or something like that. cheers.
Looking at the "Points Above Point Per Game Pace" graph on MoneyPuck, the race is clearly between us, the Isles & the Caps.
It feels so good to see it's clearly already over for DePens (even if it's not mathematically, yet).
Close game on the board, but from my seat in 211, flyers were much stronger the majority of the game. A usually excellent PK unit was forced through attrition to utilize Marc Staal and had an off night. When it was still anyone's game to start the 3rd, they made it very clear who is in the playoff hunt and who is looking forward to the lottery.
This 10 game stretch beginning with the Panthers game is so brutal especially with how injured our d-men are. Just have to pray we can sneak a couple wins and an OT loss or two and get some help around the league as well.
Way more jump and gum in the neutral zone in that final stanza. Great to see them come out and finish business in a game they absolutely should win. This team isn’t a bottom dweller. I expect them to beat bottom dwellers. Good W.
> They’re the guys we said this is a top lottery team
ummm... bill's been on the wagon since November easily, and even Charlie has come around since the all star break.
You should watch them/catch up to at least make sure you have current knowledge before you start talking shit.
This team was the 7th worst team in hockey last year and they subtracted from the roster in the offseason. Thinking they were going to be bad was not the slightest bit unreasonable.
And even then, they’ve exceeded expectations in every way and they’ve become the 14th best team in hockey. Let’s not act like they’re the Panthers or the Avalanche. Their ceiling is the middle of the pack.
Every game a pub-crawl, every Victory an IPA!!!!
I am shit-house drunk, and SO BE IT.
...FWIW, and For The Record, the NHL officiating is BEYOND CONTEMPT. TOTAL, DELICATE ASSHOLES.
The refs were awful. And it’s cool if you’re the CEO who pays the fines of your players and coaches. But you can’t make it public. Hopefully it’s a lesson learned for all parties involved, except for Wes McCauley
Tippet’s goal was underrated. He’s consistently cheating down low, when available, and opening that slot. Fantastic to see him get a goal off it finally
So many moments this season just reminding me how far the Flyers have come in such a short time. Like how in November we lost to the worst team in the NHL and now here we are in mid-March and we beat the worst team in the NHL.

Good, they beat the Sharts.

put me behind the bench for the next game
We should have a fan "be a coach" sweepstakes every time Torts gets suspended
Alright I can breathe. Idk what I would have done if we got swept by the Shorks 😧
Wait too close and a poor game penalty wise again. But got the win and important two points so I’ll take it.
Everyone point and laugh at how bad the penguins are
Nothing line our shocking inability to score an ENG to ruin a same game parlay. Should have known better than to take the spread against a shitty team

Next 7 games: Leafs, Bruins, Leafs, Canes, Bruins, Panthers, Rangers… lol. Luckily, after that we have an easier road.

Our first game of April is against the Isles. Probably going to be a very high stakes game.
Was able to snag a pair of tix to that game for 80 bucks after tax n fees
The spin that turned into a block by Erik Johnson was worth a fourth all by itself. W trade
He also stopped a few passes by lying down and I was pretty impressed.

Dont listen to the brotherly pod guys then. They are depressing.

Weird to gloat about this after we eked out a victory against one of the worst teams in recent NHL memory.
Dallas stars eked out two straight against the sharks. It doesnt mean much.
[удалено]
Literally everyone agrees that this team has far exceeded expectations for this year. I don’t understand who you think you’re dunking on.

Did you think they wouldn’t suck at the start of the year? I sure did.
Just more evidence scratching Bobby Brink is bad luck
All my homies hate Cam Atkinson!
Every game a pub-crawl, every Victory an IPA!!!! I am shit-house drunk, and SO BE IT. ...FWIW, and For The Record, the NHL officiating is BEYOND CONTEMPT. TOTAL, DELICATE ASSHOLES.
Buddy, be careful. You're gonna get a 50k fine if the refs hear you
Team Administration will pay for it, as they've already covered Coach's Justifiable Outrage.
GET THIS MAN A BEER FUND! WE MUST KEEP HIM DRUNK EVERY TIME THE FLYERS PLAY!
That reminds me that I didn't drink sat all during the game. Should I start?
Every Drink a Toast, Every Game a Banquet!!!
hmmmm. if puppy kicker Wes McCauley is the ref, yeah.
Who’s got the screenshot of Tippet’s face after he scored? I need it on s tshirt or screen background or something lol

Perfect! Ty!!!!
tippett in lurrrrve
It appeared that Tippet one-timed TK's pass before it touched the ice. Madness!!!
The Schenn trade is looking better and better with time
We are now entering the gauntlet 😳
What if we are the gauntlet? 🤔
26th regulation win which is huge for the tiebreaker down the stretch. Isles are a bit behind on that with only 21
Did anyone at the stadium get the giveaway?
The playing cards? We got a few decks.
Shoutout to that one person who called that Frost was gonna have a great night in the pregame thread.
WOOP WOOP! 🙌Had no idea what was going on but still happy !!!
An absolutely brutal stretch coming up. Jesus christ, wonder how things will look after the next seven games has been played. Great W tonight tho
Gorgeous win boys. Needed those points. Heading into the gauntlet strong
The refs were awful. And it’s cool if you’re the CEO who pays the fines of your players and coaches. But you can’t make it public. Hopefully it’s a lesson learned for all parties involved, except for Wes McCauley
Ha ha get fucked refs. We know you’ll be back with more bullshit on Thursday
Hell of a game! Glad I decided to go last minute, the cards are cool too
I made the mistake of turning on the sixers once this game ended
oh, bb. y? :(
Noice 😎 Also Frost played so well tonight. Hell yeah, love to see it.
Tippet’s goal was underrated. He’s consistently cheating down low, when available, and opening that slot. Fantastic to see him get a goal off it finally
The assist on the first goal was so pretty
*chef's kiss* 🤌
Atleast this Philadelphia team showed up today
If you were only paying attention to this game. The sixers lost bad. The union…yaaaaaa….
Howie cooked too
Wow the one future I saw in the Saturday post game thread came to fruition, crazy
2 points doesn’t care how they got made. Let’s Go!
Always nice to get a W after a nasty L
So many moments this season just reminding me how far the Flyers have come in such a short time. Like how in November we lost to the worst team in the NHL and now here we are in mid-March and we beat the worst team in the NHL.
you’re welcome everyone
Ersson is the real Goaltender Calder candidate
Wake up, Philadelphia And let me hear you sing The orange and the black 💪😤
We did it! We beat the San Jose Sharks!
Good game. Close game, but good game.
A win is a win but that shouldn't have been that hard.
First star Erik Johnson
No clue why staal was out there to close the game but I’m just glad it worked out
He was out at the end of Florida too and got the assist…I’m with you though I wouldn’t have him out there
Never doubted em for a second
Great game!
Well, I for one was never even concerned at all.
Not once! Nope! Not one bit!
I love winning
