@JoyOnBroad TK just useless

That was about as good of an overtime as the Flyers could muster. A game they could have won. Damn.

@JoyOnBroad Cates Forester Tk Risto And you wonder why PP stinks.

The Flyers have had SIX power plays in this game. They’ve mustered THREE total shots on those opportunities.

@charlieo_conn Is any media member ever gonna call out TK.

Another Flyers penalty, this one for too many men. Flyers having a much-improved period as compared to Game 1, but these are not penalties that they can afford to take. At least the York one was in the process of playing defense, but these last two? Eeeesh.

@charlieo_conn Playoff Risto is a nightmare.

Ristolainen with a costly failed clear in the lead-up to that Carolina goal. He had time, just didn't make a good play on the puck.

@charlieo_conn 10000% on Vladar.

2-0 Canes. Both Michkov and Sanheim got scorched on that transition rush.

@RonoAnalyst This is Toxics gameplay. Defend defend defend.

I think if Pittsburgh does not make a big mistake/turnover, the Penguins will win. The Flyers are afraid to making plays. And they will not score with that dumping and chasing. While Pittsburgh is calm with the puck and trying make good hockey plays. We’ll see…

@charlieo_conn Wait till toxic realizes it’s still 5 on 5

The Penguins definitely had the better of the third period. Vladar came up huge on a number of occasions. Flyers need to reset during this intermission in a big way.

@ByJonBailey That’s why Toxic hates him.

Michkov might be the only Flyer tonight who is consistently thinking offense and executing those plays at a half decent rate

@charlieo_conn WTF is Glendenning still being played let alone getting O zone starts.

Flyers with a big flurry at the end of the period, but Silovs stands tall. 0-0 after 40 minutes. Konecny might have drawn a late penalty, though. I didn't see it, was watching the puck.

@ADiMarco25 @RonoAnalyst They can’t get anyone in on their D tho. Dump and Chase isn’t working.

@RonoAnalyst I think they're far better suited for dumping it in and/or carrying the puck and creating off the rush.

Martone has tried to go east/west a few times this period leading to broken plays.

@charlieo_conn TK is COOKED

Hell of a pace so far. Back-and-forth action. Sean Couturier had a great shift a few minutes ago. But both teams are getting their opportunities.

@BrotherlyPuck He’s their 3rd highest scorer at 20 ,

The Pros and Cons of The Flyers Trading Matvei Michkov brotherlypuck.com/2026/04/28/the…

I don't know why Flyers fans act like they need Michkov. They have Owen Tippett, future 40 goal scorer. They have Travis Konecny, the GOAT (of Autumn) and a bonafide star. They have Tyson Foerster, a 3 and D winger (except this is hockey.) Then you add Martone to that? Wow.

@SuitableAlias 4th line, Barky-Couts-Bump, why do the other 2 cooked dinos have to be gifted time. One was waiver fodder and is now showing why.

It's very difficult for some people to accept (or comprehend) that certain playstyles are better fits for the 4th line than others. Michkov is a player who relies on flow and precision of execution. Utterly dependent on it. Especially at this stage. Can't get that on L4

@RCmorbin @afern_alex Oh hes gone, but look at Ghost trade, Cutter trade, the Sanheim attempted trade, this team will screw this up.

@afern_alex At this point, I would just trade management doesn’t have the balls to step in, and Rick clearly doesn’t like him, might as well get something out of him if we’re not gonna fucking play him

Okay Rick. Let’s see how this goes for you if you lose this game and if you lose this series You’re in for one hell of a summer if so. So ride out your decision and see what happens

@afern_alex Nothing will happen to Toxic. The authentics will lap up whatever garbage the team puts out. 20 yrs old, shit usage, 2nd PP time, rarely top 6, and hes the 3rd highest scorer and they want him gone. Says alot why they continue to suck. #CutterwasRight

@JHallNBCS Imagine a scenario where this clown would play Tyson, MM, Bump, and Barkey all over vet slop like Hathaway and Glendenning.

"We're not giving up on Tyson, he's too good of a hockey player." - Rick Tocchet on Tyson Foerster, who has gone scoreless through five games this series Tocchet said it's possible Foerster has hit a bit of a wall after the long layoff, but believes he can work through it.

@PHLY_Flyers @charlieo_conn Hathaway a lock by you fools is insanity.

Will Matvei Michkov be back in the lineup for Game 6? "My gut is that he sits again" - @charlieo_conn

@AlexTurner2501 @NHLFlyers Should have been a milk carton.

@NHLFlyers Is this a “missing” poster for Konecny?

We’ll see you Wednesday night at 7:30 in South Philly. 📍#IgniteTheOrange

@insiderJmoney TK line was worst on the ice.

The easy scapegoat of Matvei Michkov didn’t play. The Flyers forwards were ass (except for Bump). We better see some accountability from the forward group. And the coaching staff. Can’t throw Matvei under the bus now. #IgniteTheOrange
