Basically no one picked the Flyers to make the playoffs in preseason. Few in the hockey world seem to think they'll make it now.
There's even a vocal contingent of the team's own fanbase that actively wants them to lose.

Quebec made a good decision to draft a guy they knew they could extract a huge ransom for despite that player openly stating he wouldn’t sign.
On Seeler, sounds like the initial contract ask wasn't received overly well from Philly's side. Talks ongoing, I believe, but sounds like

want him in the $2.5M-$3M AAV range, and Seeler's camp is looking for a fair bit more over multi-years.

The officials injured Luke Hughes and then, out of sheer embarrassment, decided to do something to make it look like they’re doing their job. Nobody will be held accountable and Hathaway will probably lose a few bucks to make everyone in league office feel better.
PHI is looking for a forward (and maybe a defenseman) to add on the cheap.
Don't get the sense that there's an appetite to move a significant asset, but they're definitely bargain shopping to bolster their depth.
That’s 5 goals, 8 points less than halfway through AHL game

for Brink.
The Flyers are currently being shutout and have “11” forwards dressed with TK out.
Strange memories on this nervous night... It seems like a lifetime, or at least a Main Era—the kind of peak that never comes again… a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not…
So now… years later, you can go up on a steep hill… and
It's a little annoying they can play like this against the Prez-trophy leaders after getting killed by lottery teams, but... we wanted to see them not quit. They haven't.
Gotta really give it to the merch team for the timing on these👏
Great new stuff available for everyone looking forward to the day our true superstar arrives:
Frost on his turnover in OT Monday leading to the GWG: "Excuse my language, but I know I fucked up in the overtime there. So I'll try to make it up to my teammates and the fans on this next stretch of games."
Credit to stature of Flyers "rookie" front office to be able to keep things quiet while moving Gauthier, and then pull curtain for full transparency. Never heard a front office hand out such loud credit to other execs for helping keep matters quiet. Briere and Jones quick studies
Ok so the Flyers didn’t win the lottery while
@charlieo_conn
is en route to his European vacation. This only raises the likelihood we hear Michkov is coming over before Chuck gets back, imo.
I don’t agree with all the stuff Tortorella does, but everything after the “I guess now the narrative…” bit is where I’m at with this team. It’s encouraging when the coach sees/feels what we do.
But also… time to finish the job.
