@KKurzNHL Proving to be well suited for the role at this point in his career, if healthy. Solid on face offs, solid along the wall, makes good decisions, good checker, PK, solid protecting a lead and manageable ice time for a player his age and mileage.

Got a text yesterday from someone whose opinion I really respect, who said the Isles game was "the best I’ve seen Couturier play in a few years." It is fairly remarkable how he's helped give the Flyers an effective fourth line the last few weeks. Underrated development IMO

@Chase_Senior Chase, you have it correct, except for the part where it’s because he’s an Eagle. The national media has done a heck of a job contributing to that. And most Eagles fans I know, and I’m a 60+ year fan myself, know and appreciate what he’s accomplished. I’m tired of the stereotype.

I will never understand the widespread Jalen Hurts hate. - Involved in the community - Class act - Has never been in trouble - Has never said or done anything controversial - Coaches son, who works hard and loves football - Clutch gene, has two of the best Super Bowl QB performances ever - Ultimate winner and has won big everywhere he's gone - Got benched for Tua at Alabama, handled it so maturely, then delivered when his number was called again. Balled out at Oklahoma - Second round pick who earned the starting role, has had a winning season every year as a starter and has won 57 regular season games in 5 years - Underdog stories are usually ones that people rally around and root for. If he was the QB for the Tennessee Titans, there's no way he'd be hated and ridiculed like this. It's only because he's the QB of the Philadelphia Eagles. #Eagles

@CGJXXIII That’s ok. He knows how to use the disrespect to his advantage. It’s just more fuel in his tank. We have been privileged to have him as a quarterback and leader.

@UncleButsy @CardiacRN_71 I’m more analytical (via EYE test), player by player with a focus on the future. Yes I’m caught up in the playoff push, but more interested in how I think this thing shapes up for the next moves in the off-season. It still looks like ‘up and to the right’ to me.📈

Flyers fans are all over the map. Love the chaos. I see most are more optimistic than they've been in years. Yes. No. Same old Flyers. Maybe this team is different. OMG, I'm going to die. Pour me some orange Kool-Aid, I am so in. I'm gonna barf. Let's Go. I am fired up.

@EricReeseFN No one who matters is looking to get rid of any top players on this roster. But if a trade opportunity arises and management thinks it’s a net positive for the rebuild, somebody/s of value will likely leave.

@avappleyard You’re just stoking the people that stare at the minutes. You should know better. You know that the game dictates when and in what situation certain lines play. Or maybe you’re just trying to generate buzz from the Usual Suspects?

@UncleButsy And the way the team is fighting right now, saying people are “going out of their way” is an accurate description. Seems to me too many people are more obsessed with being right than they are just enjoying the game. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@UncleButsy Since he’s been on the fourth line, it’s been the best fourth line play we’ve been getting in years. He, Coots and whoever has worked. Don’t understand what’s baffling.

It’s crazy to me that Glendenning is a staple in the lineup. I know he’s the only RH center but it’s just baffling to me.

Did Porter Martone dump a ref’s daughter right before this game or something?

I’m gonna be that guy for the Flyers: This is overall a successful season for the Flyers. I get the Tocchet-Michkov thing and don’t love it, but we’re getting a look at who’s who on this team and playing meaningful games in April is a bonus that will be beneficial going forward

@Philabuster10 At a macro level nobody argues that. But game by game, situation by situation, it can happen and be easily defended based on many factors. Enjoy the win!

I can’t believe that all morning I’ve been defending why a 4th line shouldn’t get more minutes then any of the other three top lines, am I nuts, is there something I’m missing. Win or loss to me it just makes no sense #LetsGoFlyers

@afern_alex I like them both and it’s a legit question either way. It’s not so much about who you want to keep as much as it is who you’re trying to get and what they want and whether you’re willing to do it.

@Raiderfrank65 💯. And even if you couldn’t read his lips, that ref’s body language treating the young player could be seen from the top row.

That was a fuckin disgrace and that official needs to hear from the league. It was completely unprofessional and uncalled for. If officials want to be treated with respect, they must treat players with the same respect they expect

@avappleyard Nobody should be cashing out, or effusively praising. Easy to see his strengths and weaknesses if you remove your bias either way. Huge summer for him, not bc you expect prime MM next yr, but bc you need to see improvement in fixable areas (i.e. skating, wall play, TO’s, D play)

And before you "cash out" on Michkov... Ask yourself this. How many players peak at age 20? (As first line, 65 point guys) How many players have sophomore slumps? Then look at some of guys like Kucherov, MacKinnon, Pastrnaks growing pains... #Flyers

@JameyBaskow @FlyersKnitty And how exactly do you handle a star Jamey? And oh btw, I have no axe to grind with Michkov. His strengths and weaknesses as it relates to winning NHL hockey are right there to see for anybody who knows puck, once they remove their biased blindfolds.

@charlieo_conn Even more impressive is not being in game shape for months, this being your second game, and the second night of a grueling back to back, and making that play.

Uh... did Tyson Foerster spend all of the past four months adding a couple mph to his skating ability? Because damn. Two years ago he does not catch up to that guy on the backcheck.

@UncleButsy Too many clean looks from right up the slot during the power play. Gotta find a way to clean that up.

The Martone penalty was a joke. The Coots call was a trip. Regardless, the PK could have killed it. They didn’t. I expected the Flyers to have more juice that period. Need a much better last 40.
