That last three minutes (or whatever after the Carolina GW goal) may have been the most pathetic display of hockey I have ever seen.  Carolina just going four corners and passing the puck around, and the Flyers never even getting to pull the goalie until there were about 15 seconds left in the game.

Man it's wild how out I am on the Flyers these days. Those years of sucking the last decade have really crushed my will to watch them. Carter Hart is the only Flyer I feel somewhat confident naming, and even then I'm not sure because I'm pretty sure I read trade rumors over the off-season. I think Cooter is still on the team too?

sure sounds like philadelphia is getting a stud in michkov...i have read numerous pieces on him over the last few months and the reviews are off the charts...this is philly sportz so something bad will happen but as of now holy shtein he sounds like something else...should also be noted he doesnt have the talent to put him in a gretzky lemieux jagr ovechkin crosby super star class but is almost a lock to be a point plus a game guy in the nhl

btw three of those players are penguins...they have had one or both of mario jagr crosby on their team for the last 40 years andall won multiple cups...at the same time it is an absoutely amazing and disgusting run

Don't know shtein about nhl prospects but they traded pick 12 for pick 13 picking up an extra 3rd...consensus is they reached for a center but who the farg knows. Michael Buffer announced the selection
https://twitter.com/barstoolsports/status/1806852051810279735

They traded pick 32 (acquired in the Giroux trade) to Edmonton for a 1st in 2025 which is top 12 protected. 2025 draft is supposedly stacked so don't see the issue.

We have CBJ 2nd pick #36 but CBJ deferred so we're guaranteed their 2nd in 2025

Took a 6'4 Swedish center at #51

Traded their own 3rd and 2025 3rd from Nashville for pick #59 and selected a 6'4 defenseman

Nobody cares and you're welcome

Michkov scores the game winner in OT. Has 6 points in 3 preseason games. I always wanted to buy in but the flyers have been such a disaster the past decade. Said this 20 years ago and I'll say it again: the nhl is the only preseason that translates to the regular season. We got ourselves a franchise player
