@chi2phi The pass wasn’t there at this point. He had a split second window right before this to make the backdoor pass, & he didn’t

Was 3-2 WSH here. York has to make that pass to Michkov. Instead he dumps it in the corner to no one. He's looking right at Michkov too before he bails on it. Just not great situational awareness. #LetsGoFlyers

@hostagejoe @Yenrac17 @JameyBaskow Why are you bringing Vladar into a discussion about 2025 draft picks?
English
It’s been organizational malpractice to have not drafted a goalie in the past two drafts especially considering we had two picks in the first round in 2024 and three last year and there were guys like Ravensbergen and Andreyanov
Jamey Baskow@JameyBaskow
Carson Bjarnason has been reassigned to Reading He's been struggling mightily, this may be best for him Yaniv Perets had been recalled in Bjarnason's place in Lehigh #Flyers
English
@Yenrac17 @Phlyers24 @JameyBaskow I’d rather have Nesbitt & Vladar, who has significantly outplayed Askarov
English
@hostagejoe @Phlyers24 @JameyBaskow You don't think he'd be better here? They traded two firsts for Jack nesbitt.
English
@ksfortier Michkov is making occasional nice quick passes, but for the most part he’s slow & turning over the puck
English
Michkov had no points, 1 shot on goal and 4 turnovers last night in a crucial must win game.
He now has zero goals in 11 games and one goal in his last 16 games.
He has got to get scoring!
English
@Phlyers24 What’s the success rate of 1st rd goalies?
Flyers have Zavragin in the system, even if Bjarnason & Kolosov don’t work out
English
@Yenrac17 @Phlyers24 @JameyBaskow The guy with the .887 sv % & 3.50 GAA for San Jose? Who they traded two late 1sts rd picks for?
English
@TheFlyersZone I only got to see the first 2 periods. Martone was pretty poor in those
A delay of game penalty, soft net coverage on an Ovechkin goal, & generally a half-step behind the play
He’s stepping into not just the NHL, but an NHL playoff race, so it’s not an easy adjustment
English
Porter Martone’s NHL debut:
▪️16:53 TOI
▪️5 shots (leads team)
▪️72.18 xGF%
Positive start, and a crazy game to make your debut in. Can’t wait to see the kid play at home Thursday.

Everything.
Absolutely everything has to be filtered through the Michkov lens or it’s not good enough, not fair enough.

@EricReeseFN Grundstrom played well vs Dallas. He isn’t flashy, but he was effective
English
Grundström remaining in the lineup makes a lot of sense if you watched #DALvsPHI. In fact, watch the same game, and it'll make sense as to why Bump might be out of the lineup.
I don't buy the 'tired' excuse, either.

@afern_alex I wouldn’t call it a fascination. But Grundstrom is fast & physical, & gets in on the forecheck in a hurry. I think they like that element on the line with Cates & Michkov right now
They probably think his game is a little more reliable than Bump’s at the moment
English
I just don’t see the fascination in Grundstrom. He’s been a giant bag of nothing lately
Anthony SanFilippo@AntSanPhilly
Porter Martone takes his first shift at morning skate with Christian Dvorak and Travis Konecny. If you go by line rushes here, it looks like Alex Bump is the extra forward, but we’ll wait to see what Tocchet says.
English
Not surprised Bump is the one to get scratched for Martone
I like Bump’s toolset, but he’s not accomplishing a ton lately, without being bad
Grundstrom & Hathaway are offering more on the forecheck
Feels like whoever is going best out of Barkey/Bump will fill the same spot
English
@marcrarnone @Anth_Chatburn The wing-switching thing was an excuse
He’s a LH shot. Sure, he may like the RW more in the offensive zone, but it shouldn’t be a baffling ordeal to play some left side, either
English
@Anth_Chatburn I think switching wings on top of whatever physical condition he was in was compounded.
English
The argument the participation trophy kids all seem to be making is that Michkov lacked the talent or general hockey skill to play LW.
I can’t believe that. I’d much rather believe he was a pouting diva than incapable.
I don’t think he’s either.

Well, here we have Duff, Duff Lite, and our newest flavour, Duff Dry!

Does Sanheim ever hit the net when he has an open shot?
Seems like he hits the boards 100 % of the time
English
@hostagejoe @broadburnt IMO this the classic Flyers jersey. Even though they won Cups in the 70's, the 80's was their best look
English
The smartest thing Jones has said as President: he’s not a fan of the black jerseys.
The Flyers should not wear black.
Drew@DR3Wheels
Genuinely curious when the last time an NHL team didn’t wear an alternate jersey in a season because the Flyers are 10 games away from doing it
English
John Tortorella's record is 115-133-45 (.469) in his last 4 seasons as an NHL head coach.
He has won two playoff series since 2013.
He has not guided a team to a division championship since 2012 and has failed to finish above 3rd in 10 consecutive seasons.

So happy that Torts gets another crack in the NHL. Learned a TON from him my two years in Philly. Will be an instant boost for Vegas. He is a straight shooter and you know exactly where you stand, even if you don’t like it. The passion and fire is still there. LOVED playing for him.
Vegas Golden Knights@GoldenKnights
The Vegas Golden Knights have relieved Bruce Cassidy of his duties as head coach. John Tortorella has been named head coach. #VegasBorn vgk.io/NE89y
