ALL OF PHILADELPHIA BUMPING OLIVIA DEAN RN ROUND 2 HERE WE COME!

Great play by Michkov. To see the pressure by Kindel, backtrack to the blue line to not only draw the rookie in but keep Mantha where he is and then fire a hard backhand pass. All in a few seconds. Definitely a great play on that primary assist.

@JoshDenny Any update on this?

Flyers fans: Matvei Michkov is the future of our franchise and needs to be on the ice. He’s more important than any other player in the organization. MM points per 60 in the playoffs:

@Gordo_FlyersRok @nastyflyergirl had he missed the pass break up, Mich and York would have driven towards the net and had a solid chance, Mich probably considered that he wasnt likely to go for it due to his position, and if he tried and failed, the odds of scoring were high. That's an example of 39's hockey IQ

@nastyflyergirl Yeah I had a closer look at this pass, in slow mo, after of course Hartnell brought it up post game…there was a tad bit of risk there imo, but the defender would’ve had to time it perfectly to go for it…had he and missed, woulda risked losing his position, and been in deep 💩

I know people have been pointing out the Michkov pass was risky but I do think the penguin on York’s side was back a bit. Sure he could have anticipated the pass and broke on it but had he done that and Michkov pulls up he is way out of position. Maybe I am giving Michkov

The better team lost.

@TtaMMrilliM @PenguinsJesus If we're going back to 1900, the Athletics won 5 world series in Philadelphia. You don't want to do that

@PenguinsJesus Pirates still have more world series wins than the Phillies

Flyers fans are clowning the Pirates for not winning since 1979. The irony.

@Best_Dave_Ever @JRown32 @RiverhoundsSC (Distant) Second tier league. This would be like Philly claiming the 2013 Kelly Cup won by the Reading Royals in the ECHL. No disrespect to that team, its just reality.

@JRown32 Umm the @RiverhoundsSC just won the USL Championship!!! Show them some respect!!!

That Penguins loss means that Pittsburgh will go over 3,000 days without a major professional sports team advancing in a postseason. Unthinkable.

@manband20 @JRown32 The same riverhounds that lost 4-1 to 3 Philadelphia Union regulars and a bunch of 16-20 year olds from their academy? They'd be competence in the MLS? MLS as a league is worth 1.4 billion. Entire USL league is worth about 90m. Two different worlds.

@JRown32 The Riverhounds literally just won their league and would be in the MLS if we had promotion/relegation.

Get ready Carolina

Dan Vladar in the 4 Flyers wins: • 116 shots against • 112 saves The Penguins were goalie’d by a cheater.

@Scuba_Steve161 Get the boys some damn orange slices and a capri-sun at least

Flyers have been flat to start every period. That feels indicative of some coaching issues tbh. The intermissions are doing nothing for them.

@Daily__Flyers Foerster brought offensive upside and flashes to a previously one dimensional shut down line. Bump-Cates-Michkov are 13-3-1 when playing together. Lines were much better last night.

Legitimately like these lines. Foerster complains aside I really don’t mind him on line 4 with coots. Probably gets some better matchups and he’s good in the d zone. Still need him to not shit himself in the other 2 zones. Also like the Michkov line quite a bit

Top 5 Coping Mechanisms after Losing To Philadelphia 1. Mock fans “classless, illiterate, etc” 2. Disparage city itself “trash, crime, etc” 3. Blame officiating or injuries 4. Tout your teams titles from long ago 5. Mention how easily the next opponent will beat us

@JlGGSY @SuitableAlias This, our D situation is much better / more stable than our C situation. I love Playoff Risto, but if he gets you a good return, especially a haul addressing a position of need, you go for it

@SuitableAlias All time high value. Risto been on a heater. Go after that 1c

I'd still trade him but I understand the other side.

@Daily__Flyers They have cap and an extra first to work with. If theres a 1C/1D/Really good 2C/2D with term and isnt over the age of 28, maybe you give up one of our RW, a 1st, a prospect, and a sweetener for one of those. At this point better than 23rd overall who might make an impact in 2030

Danny has no idea what he’s done. His job this offseason just because much harder I guess in a good way. Playoffs are now the standard again, so he will have his work cut out adding high end guys this offseason. Or at least A high end guy

@Mr_Argee @spittinchiclets I saw them at 31st, but estimates can change. Also have to remember, a huge portion of their viewership is in Canada due to fans of Crosby "following the player". Without him, and with empty seats, could spell trouble for the 2x bankrupt Pittsburgh Penguins

@spittinchiclets They ranked 25th in attendance this year. Things will get ugly come rebuild time.

If this is the end of the Pens Big 3, what a run it’s been. — 3 Stanley Cups — 3,924 games — 3,974 points — 1,365 goals — 3 Conn Smythes — 3 Harts 20 years together. The longest-tenured trio in North American pro sports.

@SuitableAlias We need him for Round 2. The Dubai chocolate will still be there in June

Thank God Bump and Martone stopped Michkov from going to Dubai!

See you next season, Pens fans 💛
