The Philadelphia Flyers 2024-2025 Season: Progressing Towards Lord Stanley's Cup

Also just to put a bow on the research, Poehling, Seeler, Drysdale, and Pelletier were the guys on the ice with Hathaway for the hit itself.

Seeler has got to get in there and show some face after a late hit. Maybe he is tired of having to do it every time and we need someone else to step up or maybe play Deslauriers as a regular 4th liner player. Toronto has Reaves play in like 75-80% of their games for a reason.

It was — but COME on. Beat the best team on ice and lose to the Pens.

9 points out of a possible 10 . All we have to do is keep that pace for the next 21 games.

From the Athletic:

Even the recent Frost-Farabee trade with the Calgary Flames at the end of January has arguably made the Flyers a better team. Frost and Farabee have done very little in Calgary, combining for just four points in 18 games (nine games a piece), while Andrei Kuzmenko found the scoresheet in three of his first four games with the Flyers ahead of Saturday’s meeting with the Jets and Jakob Pelletier got his first point in his second game with the club on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

But that trade did something more, too, even if Kuzmenko and Pelletier, both unsigned past this season, aren’t around for long. It opened more cap space for them to play with for the future, which has been at the top of Briere’s list of priorities since the day he took over.

Losing the $5 million owed to Farabee through 2026-27 gives Briere much more flexibility to take that big swing that everyone knows has to be coming, and that he isn’t the type to shy away from. Depending on who gets shipped out when that day arrives — perhaps this summer — Ristolainen and Laughton could still be valuable players for a team that we know isn’t ever going to try to tank.

That's incredible!

Pretty sure they did a ceremonial thing for Guadreau, which was also cool.

They did i missed it but read about it today and seemed like the NHL did a great job with it.
