The '25-'26 Philadelphia Flyers thread

Porter signing just announced

[zambonir]

He's baaaaaaccccck

Golden Knights fire coach Bruce Cassidy, replace him with John Tortorella

(there was actually a really nice story about his relationship with Brink - lows and highs - in Athletic recently too)

[Pat_Burrell]

I couldn’t believe this when I heard the news. Well at least torts isn’t messing around with a rebuilding team

Flyers beat the Stars in OT 2-1 and are now tied with the Red Wings, Senators and two points behind the Blue Jackets with a game in hand. Martone is coming and Foerster might even return. Ersson is hot (5-0 since the Olympic break, and Vladar is still solid. I hope they can get into the playoffs, they could be a dangerous out.

Ersson’s play has been phenomenal. He’s become what many wanted him to be for a while.

[xogfog]

I don't know if Errson has become what you said, he's been good before. I guess the best way to sum him up is he is streaky.

[phillychuck]

He was the reason they won yesterday. A lot of good saves, and a few 5-bell ones.

[zambonir]

Pretty fun that we can watch Painter's first inning and then Martone's first shift on the same night.

[VoteForKalas]

True, it will be a fun night

Flyers lose a tough game tonight in regulation. Fell behind 2-0 before tying it, then 4-2 before getting 1 back to make it 4-3 before Wash increased to 5-3, then flyers get 1 to make it 5-4 before wash gets an EN. Vladar didn’t have a great game but wasn’t terrible. Wash is still a good team and they were simply the better team tonight. Flyers margin for error is now razor thin and may need to win all remaining or at the very least win 7/8

[zambonir]

Ottawa, Detroit and Columbus all lost too. Flyers also have a game in hand on Columbus and two on NYI. The nice part of fighting for the bottom not the top. Schedule is not forgiving but they kind of control their own destiny, and even if they lose a few more the other teams might too. Just can't lose to Detroit or the Islanders.
