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

Better yet - a Philly cheese steak !

I think this result tonight gives you some definite bragging rights. A 6-1 barrage in Philly. The line of Cates, Brink and Foerster combined for 10 points. Risto opened the scoring and Michkov chipped in a couple assists. Complete dominance, start to finish, really.

For me, this doesn't necessarily bolster our playoff chances, but it does help seal the fate of our hated rivals, which is a beautiful thing.

Wish they saved some for Thursday.

Ducks are in a row. Now just one more big effort.

You would definitely expect the Pens to respond on Thursday if they have anything left at all, so we shall see. They have lost 4 straight now (2 of those to us) and been outscored 22-9 in the process.

After that, for us, the road gets extremely difficult against Nhl-leading Winnipeg twice and I see no reason to attempt to win anymore games...Lol

I fully expect to sell at the deadline (March 7th), and even if we don't, there are just too many damn teams to leapfrog in order to make the playoffs. We sure as hell don't want teams like the Pens, Isles or Rags picking ahead of us in this upcoming draft either.

With that ass-whippin of Pissburgh, we get back to .500 with a 3-game winning streak and in 5th place in the Metro Division. Pissburgh is in the cellar and how sweet it is to look down on those chumps!

Ok. My plan is set. I can get grub hub to deliver a “Jersey Mikes” Cheese steak. Thought the “Jersey Mikes” was a good touch. Now the flyers just need to win at least the second game.

Seeing if I can convince his wife to capture the moment.

Life’s simple pleasures.

This is great!!!

Sidney looked like he wanted to cry!!

If we can beat them again you should see if one of the local pizza joints could make a pizza in the shape of the Flyer emblem and have that delivered.

I live in South Carolina. There are more hockey fans on this chat room than in my whole city.

Cates ,Brink and Foerster broke out of their slump in a big way.

I wish we could bottle that energy and have it on game to game basis.

Could the rested-up Flyers actually make a late playoff push?

The Flyers got healthy over the 4 Nations break and have looked like a different team since coming back.

Rasmus Ristolainen staying? Flyers’ trade target not drawing high interest​

By Kevin Kurz

The needle, at the moment, is inching back toward Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen remaining with the team past next Friday’s trade deadline.
Despite Ristolainen being high on various trade boards — including ours — the Flyers haven’t received many calls on the 30-year-old blueliner with two seasons left on his contract after this one at a $5.1 million AAV, according to a team source.
That can quickly change this time of year, of course, particularly if there’s a team or teams that swing and miss on other targets. But, at least for now, Ristolainen is less likely to be dealt than previously thought.
And, really, that shouldn’t be all that astonishing. General manager Daniel Briere said in his most recent media availability that Ristolainen was “not a rental.” That’s essentially code for, they’re not going to deal him if the asking price isn’t met. It seems likely the Flyers would prefer a first-round pick or a top prospect in exchange for Ristolainen.

I guess ole Risto decided he'd better earn his money or he will be on the outside lookin' in!

He channeled ovechkin on his goal last night.

If nobody is willing to pay what we demand for Risto or Laughton, so be it. Neither of them is in the final year of their contracts anyway. That and we're already loaded up for the 2025 draft. If Danny Briere has to watch the trade deadline come and go with nothing done, then at least he's told the league as a whole moving forward that he's not settling for less. That and our squad has another shot to make a playoff push, as unlikely as I think it is.

Sure, Michkov is a hungry, competitive youngster with a lot of talent, but he can only do so much and has never been in this position before as a rookie. If he were to make some promise that we're going to make the playoffs, I wouldn't put much stock in it...Lol

That said, tonight is pretty much the biggest game of the season. An opportunity to essentially put the Pens out of their misery and technically still stay in the playoff race. Let's give it one more go and see what happens!!

 

[Retroram52]

I would absolutely love to see the Flyers bury those jackasses in Pissburgh in their building, Maverick. That event alone just may spark a Flyers comeback. Maybe??!!
