Since Travis Konecny got passed over for the skills competition I think they should mic him up and let him talk trash during the entire event. It would definitely be an upgrade to the recent broadcasts.
Cutter Gauthier has shown that he had the potential to become absolute locker-room poison in this situation. The Flyers are building a TEAM. Hard work, self sacrifice, playing for the pride of the logo on your sweater. Years of drama avoided. Welcome Jamie Drysdale, be a Flyer.
Long before the Flyers were 19-11-5 going into New Year's Eve this guy was running "suicide skates", "being too hard on his players", "expecting too much", and "not going to last long".
First and foremost Jamey Baskow is about as solid of a guy as you'd ever hope to meet. His family is going through something major right now. Please send your prayers and hope for healing their way. # flyersknitty
Owen Micciche skating with the Flyers during the pre game warm up. Coach John Tortorella had nothing but good things to say about Micciche who signed a one day deal with the team.
MICHKOV: Russian agent Shumi Babaev said the Russian President has given an order to keep young players in the KHL. Which if true and in place would keep Michkov out of Philly till at least 2026.
I wish Wade Allison all the best and hope the change of scenery helps him find the best way to channel his energy. He's got plenty of it. Good dude, great to the fans, a lot of fun to talk to. Best of luck!
The Dads Trip was a great reminder that these guys are not just names and numbers and stats. Their families put so much time and sacrifice into something that their kid loved doing. It doesn't just happen by itself.
Flyers second game of a back-to-back. Ersson gets the start? Flyers are in the awesome situation where it doesn't make a huge difference which of their 2 netminders are minding the net. Have they ever had a stronger tandem than what they have going right now?

This guy had the potential to be absolute locker room poison for a rebuilding hockey team. The Flyers are building a team not a showcase platform. Years of drama out of the way all in one night.
Flyers Fans were great last night. At the end of the 2nd they announced The Cup would be in the atrium until the 3rd period. It was a mob scene and people could not have been any nicer. It's the STANLEY CUP no mob scene is too much. Flyers Fans rule!

Joe Watson in what he says will be his last Flyers Alumni Game. Joe "Thunder Mouth" Watson holding his own on the ice at 80 years of age. Legend

Islanders creamed the Ducks last night 6-1. They are now 2 pts behind the Flyers in the Metro. Isls play the Kings tonight. Flyers can not underestimate the Sharks Tuesday night. Start chumming the water. After the Saturday Night Massacre this is a must win. Hockey is fun.
Flyers had a much better outing last night. Goaltending gave them a chance to stay in it till the end. Attard, Laughton, Cates looking good. Poehling broke the seal then almost tied it up, came on strong at the end. Andrae really involved all night.
Great night watching the Flyers vs Devils with the Philadelphia Flyers Fan Club at the Wells Fargo Center. Thank you for having us out and for supporting The Flyers Nitty Gritty

Last night Brink had a Penguin trapped behind the net, Nedeljkovic took it upon himself to try to neutralize Brink. Not quite sure why this was legal but it was pretty fun to watch. Reverse-goaltender-interference?

The Flyers have signed 18 year old goalie Carson Bjarnason to a 3 year entry level contract. The Flyers used their 2nd round pick in the 2023 draft to take Carson at 51st overall. He hails from the Brandon Wheat Kings in the WHL.
Brink on the brink. It is really difficult to see the impact Brink is having on the Flyers especially on the power play and still make the case for sending him down. He is really coming on strong.
Foerster really needs to break the seal. The Sharks have been giving out goals like candy. He can steal one in the middle of the night tonight while everyone's asleep.
Flyers Power Play: When Ghost was a rookie it took a bit before the league realized he has an absolutely devastating slap shot that they had to be ready for. How many times are the Flyers going to attempt unobstructed biscuit wrist shots from the point? It pointless. Literally.
Hart is still ailing. Cal Petersen gets the start. Kings rocked his world last Saturday. Brink and Zamula sitting Frost in. We'll see how all that goes. Let's Go !
Rangers and Bruins fans both took over our building this season. Sucked all the bad luck out of it and took it home with them. Next year should be great!

@FlyersKnitty
are honored to be guests at the Philadelphia Flyers Fan Club Holiday Party tomorrow night at the Wells Fargo Center.

@Ywolok
and myself will be there. You can become a member of the Fan Club at the door.
This article about Ed Snider's Foundation was originally published last Jan. When doing the research for this I was blown away not just by Mr. Snider's legacy but also by the history of Scanlon Playground. Babe Ruth even makes an appearance.

He's building a playoff team. There's a lot of traveling in the playoffs. The deeper you go the further you travel. No excuses get used to it. A rebuild is much more than just swapping out players.
I don't know how this guy can be a "transplant" and understand our Fans, our city, and our hockey history so well. I hope this entire cast of Philly hockey overlords can stay unified long enough to reach their potential. Tortorella, Jones, Briere.
@JameyBaskow
I want TK to be on this team 3 years from now. In a perfect world every young player who joins the squad gets to play next to someone like him. Fearless. Tenacious. Absolutely offended by everything on the ice that isn't his team.
Word quickly spread down the Press Box as Flyers trade Cutter Gauthier for Jamie Drysdale and 2nd round in 2025. Initial reactions: "that can't be right "
