Around the League Report

Spoiler!

The Best Pregame Rituals

Cracking open a Molson with a side glass of high west double rye on the rocks for the occasion.

nice choices! I’m just going old school, Jim Beam (regular, nothing fancy) on the rocks, with a splash.

Drinking a pretty delicious NE Double IPA from Progression Brewing in MA. Good stuff.

False Start

I get that every team gets a week off during the season, and since the season is about 30-some weeks long, somebody gets the week off right at the beginning.

But for the Rags, that’s ridiculous.

Honestly, with all the technology at their disposal, is this honestly the best they can come up with??

Got to factor in building availability for 31 buildings with most being used for NBA and Concerts. Then add in Lacrosse and Arena football at a couple. That makes things a little more interesting for the people doing the job of making these schedules.

Flyers and Blackhawks really should have played 2 over in Europe. Then came back to the states.

They've played three games this month. They might be jet lagged or sick, but they should not be fatigued.

Game hasn’t even started yet & I’m ready for bed.

We get ****ed over by the scheduling at the beginning of the year, what seems every single year.

hard to feel invested into this season when it feels like they never play. only less than 2 weeks in and already 4 games in hand on some teams. once they get going on a normal schedule they better go on a roll to take advantage.

Hot Dog Tkachuk

Kessel v JVR in the next Nathan’s Hot Dog eating challenge.

Tkachuk: Hold my beer!

We all know Tkachuk would chug that beer.

Tkachuk's would be chugging a keg and beating Joey Chestnut and Kobeyashi senseless while chowing down on more hotdogs in an hour than is humanly possible.

Tkachuk sounds more like a sneeze than a guy

#### you and your dad Tkchuck.

#### you, Elliott

Calgary is a good team with bad goaltending.

Hmm

Where have I seen that before

Love the guy but Moose is either so hot or so cold.

Brian elliot in form tonight boys. Over under he gets pulled at 4?

Flyers winning is the last leg of my $5 parlay to win $50. Don’t #### this up Moose

moose plz

Battle of the average tendies tonight

Elliott gets so weirdly low on faceoffs

Good veteran icing to slow things down, Moose!

Elliot blows!!!!

MOOSE SOFTIE CLASSIC

Eliott should have had that no rebound regardless

Welcome to Philly, just kidding

Umm… I am calling it. The Karma around signing a ####ing useless player like Chris Stewart will cause a prolonged losing streak.

yes, I hope we lose for a month after signing that guy.

Stewart signed?

Yep. We all knew it would happen!

Yay
Let’s sign a guy who can barely keep up with pace of play at the AHL level
Yay

we need Stewart to chase Tkachuk all over the ice, fail to catch him and take bad penalties all crammed into 4:32 of wasted time

Chris ****ing Stewart, because hey, you can never have too much trash on an NHL roster.

perhaps if Farabee continues to score at a goal per game pace in LHV, they’ll bring him up for depth after the trade deadline.

Stewart misses a hit and blocks a shot for Calgary

If Stewart is out there to make Lucic think twice, but Lucic’s role is to make Stewart think twice, do the two cancel out and everyone is normal? Or are they supposed to stand in front of the benches and stare at each other, thinking in deeper and deeper dimensions until the sun goes supernova?

Hometown Kid

Who's excited to watch future flyer Johnny Hockey tonight?

SNIFF THOSE SALTS JOHNNY

Holy #### he absolutely slammed those salts lmao

Johnny hockey’s sporting a nice struggle beard.

Twar for Johnny straight up.

We need to get Johnny Hockey into orange.

Frolik with some help from Ghost & Braun

Braun should get an assist for his effort on the goal.

Jesus Christ, Braun. Blind backhand flip gets picked off at the line and then he washes out his own goaltender. That’s a MacDonald shift right there.

Ghost...bad decision.

Frolik lost his helmet on our bench. Ghost gives it back to him. If he doesn't, Frolik needs to leave teh ice and the goal doesn't happen.

What ****ty luck is that.

Braun really ####ed that up effectively

hmm. that sucked.

Just grossness allllllll over that goal. I just had Amac flashbacks and I’m sure elliote did too

Great Braun, great Elliot. Great job. Yes. Great.

I understand Elliot got bumped there and it threw him off a bit but it looks like he's trying to sell it there instead of focusing on the save first

The Flyers are playing with their heads up their ass in their own zone.

Braun turns it over and then continues backing in?

what did I just watch

Atrocious turnover by Braun, then he trips Elliott. ****ing horrendous.

Icing on the Cake

Um why do we keep just blindly icing it?

They don’t know what else to do with the puck

Hagg icing it like only he can

5th icing in 4 minutes.

4 icing in 4:22

Is this intentional?

this looks like my ****ing Sunday night men’s league game. Good lord

I mean we can't even complete a ****ing pass.

This team has no legs. Looking really lazy. Didn’t think i would see this that early in the season.

Hahahaha

Most of my Flyers memories are from 2006-2019 and that was one of the worst periods of Flyers hockey I have ever seen. Chuck Fletcher is a god damn moron

Want to know how bad that first period was? The stream is now in the background, and i'm doing my work-mandated online training courses.

Anti-Homer Broadcasters

Morganti with some killer lines there:

"The Flames should be kicking themselves that they don't have a bigger lead"
Amazing

Lol. JJ "The Flyers try a... uhhh... [cant believe the #### on the ice] low percentage play"

JJ: they came early.
Hate when that happens.

I love when JJ throws shade:
"1st period, that's a penalty. Not here. We're in the 3rd."

Morganti: "Gostisbehere had a hat trick of mistakes in the period"
If you throw hats for three goals, what should you throw for three mistakes that lead directly to three goals against?

Just started watching and SN announcers are talking about how bad of a game Ghost has had. Has he been that bad?

"It's been a sloppy game" that's a bit of an understatement

The Breadwinner

Welp

I guess we don't do goals anymore.

**** me, I just ate some green beans. Gross.

Flyers gunna Flyer.

Sigh.

Flyers getting dummied by a Bill Peters coached team, what else is new?

Bill Peters constantly looks like he just realized his wife and sister are the same person.

This is ugly, and I mean Kevin Hayes under fluorescent spotlights ugly

Well done boys

christ...no luck...went off Sanheim

Hagg would you like to go get the ****ing puck, do something besides spectate

I cannot believe how atrocious this team looks

Basically 2 own goals.

Ghost: "I don't want to be traded, I have a home here in Philly and will continue to play so I don't get traded."
Also Ghost: Plays like he wants to be traded.

Oh well

cue the furious 3rd period comeback that comes oh so close before giving up the EN goal

Lindholm into the EN

It's the city of Brotherly love, and we're united in our hatred. I love you all, I want to love this team but dear lord this is pathetic to the extreme.

That's a clever rhyme btw, ayy.

Nice move Jake. Idiot

**** TK...who were you passing to????

The players weren't good, but these coaches are HORRIBLE.

They finally make a change in the third, but too little too late... and the sabotaging went so much deeper. Absolutely pathetic.

that EN play sums up the game

What in the ever living #### was that defense tonight?

Self Deprecating Humor

Philly is not that good at playing the hockey in the national league

Philly is like watching the Oilers bottom 6 play 60 minutes

Get ready for Harlem Globetrotters tomorrow then.

After watching Philly so far, I will be pi**ed if the Oilers don't outwork the crap out of them.

Flames play on Oct 31. So does that mean that Johnny misses trick or treating?

Philly losing tonight means an Oilers loss tomorrow.

The Flyers should be well rested for tomorrow. They didn't muster much of an effort today. Still held it to 2-1 with their crap goalie in net.

I think they play better tomorrow. Probably anxious to get out of that dirty stench of an arena lol.

Flyers must be saving their game for Edmonton. They look awful.
