Kate Smith

The Philadelphia Flyers had a franchise record of 2,544 – 1,804 – 457 before taking down my statue. Since then they have been a mediocre 246 – 233 – 72. It’s time to re-erect my statue and let me sing with Lauren for the 2026 playoff run! #FreeMe #GodBlessAmerica #LetsGoFlyers

@howardeskin @NHLFlyers Howard - a true journalist would’ve asked Boosh his thoughts on the #FreeKateSmith movement, but your inability to ask the hard hitting questions is why WIP had to move you to the side #LetsGoFlyers

🚨🏒🥅❗️Clearly the most exciting thing in Philadelphia Sports right now is that the #Flyers @NHLFlyers are heading to the playoffs for the first time since 2020 starting this Saturday! 🎙️During my conversation with former Flyer, now broadcaster #BrianBoucher on #TheHowardEskinShow, we get to the heart of where the excitement resonates. #Boosh talks about team history, the loyal fans and impact of HC #RickTocchet and what motivates the team.

@Nunn_DMC @NHLFlyers @ComcstSpectacor You’re not gonna believe this, but Kate Smith’s “Silver Bells” is in the Polar Express, and people still watch the movie. The @NHLFlyers need to #FreeKateSmith

@FakeKateSmith @NHLFlyers @ComcstSpectacor What is your second favorite Kate Smith song?

Here is a reminder of what the @NHLFlyers and @ComcstSpectacor took away from us. If this doesn’t fire you up then you aren’t a real Flyers fan. Do the right thing and bring Kate Smith home for the playoffs #LetsGoFlyers #FreeKateSmith #GodBlessAmerica

@shitty_witch @NHLFlyers @billmeltzer @ComcstSpectacor Too many right wingers. This team needs to draft more centers. In Danny Big Balls we trust! #FreeKateSmith #LetsGoFlyers

@FakeKateSmith @NHLFlyers @billmeltzer @ComcstSpectacor no they don't. right wingers stop trying to speak for everyone.

Yes, Porter has seen the photo. 😅

The Flyers Almuni doesn’t know where the Kate Smith statue is. Who does? Let’s get to the bottom of this and #FreeKateSmith @BarstoolPhilly @CrossingBroad @PHLY_Flyers @NastyKnuckles @JameyBaskow @avappleyard @BroadStBull @JohnKincade @Jeremy_Roenick

@PHLY_Flyers Trusted sources are suggesting Tippett may have left practice early to help carry the Kate Smith statue out of the storage closet. A true gesture of the respect Tippett has for the history of the Flyers organization #FreeKateSmith

Owen Tippett left practice early... will the Flyers need to depend much more on their young core vs the Penguins?

@skatesd27 @NHLFlyers @ComcstSpectacor Dan, why can’t we keep our traditions and stop blaming a rendition of God Bless America or a statue outside of the stadium for this cup drought? This new, young teams success has no correlation to the song they play before the game or a statue #FreeKateSmith

@FakeKateSmith @NHLFlyers @ComcstSpectacor Couldn't disagree more. Let Kate rest in peace. Move out of the Stanley cup years and realize nothing has worked for 51 years. New team, young....start new traditions.

@MissinCurfew @chi2phi @Hartsy43 Ask @Hartsy43 about his thoughts on the #FreeKateSmith movement. I can’t imagine he’d be opposed to bringing her back for God Bless America

Tomorrow on Missin Curfew @Hartsy43 🤘🏻

@FakeKateSmith @NHLFlyers @ComcstSpectacor Only if Kate smith can QB PP1

Taryn - wish you and Coatesy were with us for this Flyers playoff run. Anyway, what are the odds that you have information leading to the rescue of the Kate Smith statue? @TarynNHatcher we need your help to #FreeKateSmith

@JDSST @NHLFlyers @ComcstSpectacor So you were okay with getting rid of Harry the K’s? Should we get rid of Ashburn Alley next? #FreeKateSmith

@FakeKateSmith @NHLFlyers @ComcstSpectacor Nothing better than living in the past.

@FlyersAlumni @BradMarshNHL @SportsTripsPHL @NHLFlyers @ComcstSpectacor @XMobileArena That’s tragic. Someone has to know where it is. Can you help point us in the right direction? #FreeKateSmith

@FakeKateSmith @BradMarshNHL @SportsTripsPHL @NHLFlyers @ComcstSpectacor @XMobileArena Truthfully we don't know.

Marshy (@bradmarshNHL) is ready for the Alumni VIP tailgate party road trip to Pittsburgh for Game 1. Join us with @SportsTripsPHL truefantravel.com/trips/flyers-p…

@FlyersAlumni @BradMarshNHL @SportsTripsPHL Do you know where the statue is? We need to put it back up and break the curse #FreeKateSmith @NHLFlyers @ComcstSpectacor @XMobileArena

@FakeKateSmith @BradMarshNHL @SportsTripsPHL youtu.be/sRMtXUgVp0c?fe…

@jachobe @Cory_Tucek Jake - do you also remember Kate Smith and the energy her rendition of God Bless America brought to the barn? Be our hero and help us #FreeKateSmith so the next generation of Flyers fans can share the same experience

@Cory_Tucek I remember that no call on couts😂😂😂💪

The last time the Flyers hosted a playoff game in ended like this:

@MissinCurfew @chi2phi @ScottieUpshall Updogg - the Flyers fans need your help in our initiative to #FreeKateSmith do you know anyone within the organization who can help us achieve this? Let me know @ScottieUpshall

Playoff Updogg 🔥

@TheRealMaxx99 @NHLFlyers @ComcstSpectacor “It hasn’t done shit” makes it sound like you are expecting Kate Smith to go on the ice and play hockey for the Flyers. We just want to hear her sing her part in a song that brings extra energy to the stadium. It’s insane to blame a song for this cup drought #FreeKateSmith

@FakeKateSmith @NHLFlyers @ComcstSpectacor For anybody born after 1976ish this song is basically a losing anthem for the Flyers. It was there song in the 70s, since then it’s been nothing but loss and heartbreak when it has played (0 cups). My lifetime it hasn’t done shit.

@MikeSielski Mikey - you, John, and myself have a special opportunity to #FreeKateSmith for the Flyers 2026 playoff run and etch our names alongside hers in the Flyers history books. Let’s work every angle to make it happen. Whaddya say? #LetsGoFlyers

Sounds good. Now take that big talk-radio salary of yours and buy me an iPad.

@mmorgan1960 @NHLFlyers @ComcstSpectacor Mark, to assume Kate Smith doesn’t mean anything to the next generation is out of touch. It would bring a tear to my eye and a shiver down my spine if they #FreeKateSmith

@FakeKateSmith @NHLFlyers @ComcstSpectacor Ignoring European players, maintaining goon mentality,  failure to recognize the speed of the game.  I am trilled at their new excitement. Jonesy and Briere are a great fi. the fan base now is much younger than myself so they won’t miss a tradition they weren’t around for.

@mmorgan1960 @NHLFlyers @ComcstSpectacor Thanks for the input Mark, but it’s not all about you and the majority of the fanbase wants to #FreeKateSmith. I hope you enjoy the playoff run and #LetsGoFlyers

@FakeKateSmith @NHLFlyers @ComcstSpectacor Thanks for your reply. But I was fan in my teens during the cup years and I loved the tradition and good luck win/loss record it enjoyed. But 50 years later I’ve watched the Flyers hang on to tradition for too many things in the past.
