First goals in playoffs in 1st period for @NHLFlyers. First goals allowed in playoffs in 1st period by Canes.

And then 22 years ago today, there was this crazy sequence: Kind of makes you wonder if we’re in store for some extra hockey tonight in Game 2 in Raleigh.

May the 4th be with you today! This date (and technically tomorrow) has a lot of precedence for @NHLFlyers First, 26 years ago today, there was this:

Get the VIP experience with the Flyers Alumni of the 1976 victory over Red Army at the May 27 premiere of Cold War In Philly Details here: coldwarinphilly.com/tickets

What went wrong in Game 1? How can the Flyers adjust against the Hurricanes? @JimJPhilly, @ashlynrsullivan and @JHallNBCS break it all down on Flyers Talk. youtube.com/watch?v=GQ17rt…

@sippinondat Actually RodBrind’Amour said six days off was too much

@JimJPhilly Rust? lol. Who actually said that? You need rest at this point. We got absolutely screwed with ZERO rest.

I think we can lay the ”rust factor” possibility for the Canes to rest

@GregDCruz4 @NHLFlyers I’ll be calling the game tonight but only my wife, daughter, dog, and cat will hear it! 😉

@JimJPhilly @NHLFlyers Gonna miss hearing the local broadcast....

Also, make life difficult for Freddy Andersen. Even with an occasional bump here and there. If he is able to see pucks and feel unimpeded, he can put numbers up like he did in 1st round and that can’t happen if @NHLFlyers want to win this series.

Hurricanes make every team they play look bad. They check relentlessly and shoot from everywhere so it’s easy to get frustrated. @NHLFlyers have to avoid that frustration. Just grind it out, protect the house, rely on Dan Vladar and take advantage of the scoring chances they get.

@smcnallysr18 I feel I’ve finally officially made it as a broadcaster! 😉

@JimJPhilly your thoughts please! facebook.com/share/r/17XB5T…

@SeanKleckner @JHallNBCS All national the rest of the way. You might be lucky enough to get Boosh on TNT or TBS for some of them, though. But it’s ABC, ESPN, TNT, and TBS from here on out. Pre and post on @NBCSPhilly for most, if not all of the games, I believe.

@JHallNBCS @JimJPhilly Is there local broadcasts for the second round too?

The Flyers' second-round playoff series against the Hurricanes will open Saturday (8 p.m. ET/ABC).

@jasonmyrt Flyers-Golden Knights wouldn’t be bad either

2 different teams will play for the Stanley Cup this year. Panthers missing the Playoffs and now the Oilers bounced in round 1 by the upstart Ducks. Long shot here but who would be up for a Flyers vs Ducks Cup Final?!?! Count me in!!!

When tied or leading after two periods this season, including the playoffs, @NHLFlyers are 40-1-7. They must play from in front tonight. Get the lead, get the crowd behind them and take care of business.

Stage is set for a crucial Game 6 for @NHLFlyers and Pens. Nervous excitement in the building. Our final game broadcast on @NBCSPhilly regardless of the game result as national networks take over from here. Let’s see if Flyers get this done tonight! Coverage already under way.

Talk about a tragic jolt of reality in the middle of our playoff obsession. So sad to hear this. John was so much fun to talk hockey with. Had such wit and love for the game. Just an easy guy to like. RIP

Away we goooo! Game 5 @NHLFlyers and Pens on @NBCSPhilly now!!!! Game 6 or 2nd Round?

Can faceoff get here already?!!!! Hopefully the wait will be worth it for @NHLFlyers fans! Game 4 vs. Pens coming up on @NBCSPhilly with coverage starting at 7:30pm. @ashlynrsullivan, @Hartsy43 and @nufced are ready to go!

It’s rather Orange in here! Game 3 @NHLFlyers and Pens coming up on @NBCSPhilly at 6:30 with Pre Game Live. It’s a game 2,922 days in the making!
