Good to see Farabee getting some love. He lost steam later this season but (if, hopefully, not traded) he is part of the solution in Philly.

seems odd Rizzo not playing as he played in the ncca tourney.

11-7 must have had the flyers brass salivating. just another dumb ass rotation decision. Good to see the "kids" leading the way to a LHV victory.

I know folks luv to hate on Marchand, but that dude is gonna be in the HOF someday. What a performance by him last night against the Laffs! Now that's a captain! Why can't we have nice things?

Sounds like the Phantoms mirror their parent team. Lots of zone time and lots of chances (terrible PP), but nothing to show for it cause they have no finishers. WONDERFUL!!

The Leafs are a complete embarrassment of a hockey team. How does a PP with Tavares, Matthews, Marner and Reilly go 0-5? Marner is completely invisible in this series so far. Reilly is an unmitigated disaster defensively. The Leafs best players are Domi and Bertuzzi, and that is not going to get it done.

Someone on the Leafs needs to take him out .. plain and simple.

The biggest issue with the Flyers is they have pretty much the same amateur scouting staff as they did for the last two failed GMs.

Reviewing the draft, hoping the Flyers get Konsta Helenius, but I think he will not be there at 12 even though tankathon says he will be. Would like to see the Flyers trade up if they have to, to get him.

Do they still employ Dave Brown or did they finally chuck him to the side?

I wouldn't be that excited if the Flyers drafted him at their normal spot, but to pay additional assets to get him? GTFO

I don't hate Marchand...if he was on the Flyers he would be as loved as Kenny "The Rat" was. He is a consistantly good offensive player with a mean and dirty streak.

While I don’t take everything I see on Twitter / X seriously, there’s a large portion of our fan base that want to trade him. I don’t get it. He def lost steam but still had a career year. Agree he’s part of the solution. Seems anyone who plays with him on a line has chemistry with him too.

Imagine how good they would be with a good PP coach like rocky at the helm?

We had Giroux for years, thats a nice thing.....no? Look at all the regular season points he had, and Jake. The 1, 2 punch

He was a pro scout and I think he was promoted into an advisor position ie fired not fired.

I'm hoping for Iginla. Not sure he will be there also, but willing to move up a couple spots to get him. Why couldnt the flyers just have lost a few more games and get a higher pick. This pick number 12 sucks

Disagree. If they are trading up it should be for Catton. Or just stay put and draft Hage.

Helenius will be there anyway. Vegas crushing Dallas and especially if they win another cup is going to make a lot of smaller guys drop in the draft as the league will search out size.

Imagine that they beat SJ, Colombus, Mtl, and Chicago - where would they be picking then?

4 years of no playoffs and only one asset that screams talent/game changer

This was the first time I got to see him on TV, so I don't know how that translates from watching live, but I thought he looked really good. He seem imo to have an extra jump to his step compared to what I saw in the regular season. He tried to be extra physical which seemed to knock him out of position at times, but overall he played very well.

yep and it is so overlooked by the local and national media imo. Just a incompetent organization from top to bottom

its not just 4 years of no playoffs, its been a decade of meh.... Hextall and Chuck were huge failures building this team. Need to see Danny do something the next 2 years. I am not convinced on him yet, but not writing him off
