Does anyone have a video of the Deslauriers fight shown to Michov?

I really hope they show it on the big screen before games. Would get me so PUMPED UP!

Maybe Comcast will slap their own name on the building. Always thought it was odd that they never did. Xfinity Center, lol.

The self-sponsorship would probably pay dividends for the parent company by forcing the brand in front our faces even more and making it an unavoidable community presence. Like what the Ilitchs are doing w/ Little Caesar's Arena.

Though I don't agree with Frost sitting out 6 or 8 straight games or whatever it was early last season, I think Frost and Michkov are very, very different players. Michkov to me is more like Foerster and TK, in that he will take pride in learning how to check, fight along the boards and retrieve pucks. Frost was not this type of player consistently and that is why he sat. I will say last season was Frost's most consistent season in the NHL once he got back into the lineup and hopefully he will continue that. But to me Michkov will not get benched by Torts, not because Torts will treat him differently, but because Michkov will not give him any reason to.

Everyone keeps looking at Torts and thinking he just benches players for the hell of it, and that is completely false. Though I don't like the benchings, the players who were benched did their share to end up there.

Betcha a $1 Torts sits him at least once.

What was the return offered in the Trade talks for Laughton? Saying he had a chance is great but did you want him to trade him for any offer? And don't bring up the rumor of the 1st for him from the Blues. That has never be cooperated.

Smart of him not to move TK before the trade deadline. He will get much better offers at the deadline. This of course if he is going to move him.

Old mess Hayes not on the team
Old mess TDA not on the team
ND will ride the pine which is perfect and most likely a buy out candidate after this season.
At least 13 million will be available after this season to sign players and 12 more after the 25 season.
+1
I am looking at the positives, too many people are just negative.

Why? Did someone get cancer and Comcast called for a swift rebrand again?

I’m still waiting for an explanation why they swiftly changed the name of the Skate Zone out of the blue after what happened to McCrossin there. Crickets.

ND. I hope so but don't forget Michkov's press was all about ND. ND hype video, ND's your new best friends, etc. Doesn't sound like a guy on the way out.

Salary Cap : That doesn't include Konecny's new 8 yr deal, Foerster, Cates, Frost, York. All are going to need significant raises unless you are replacing them with rookie contracts from the AHL ( ). Just kidding, Briere pretty much admits the pipeline is busted.

- Flyers_01


The press conference wasn’t all about ND. They were discussing what the Flyers, and his teammates, are doing to help Michkov with his transition to a new country and new league when Briere chimed in that they had all just watched video of ND fighting and they told Michkov that ND was his new best friend. Everyone laughed. It was just Briere trying to be funny.

I’m starting to think the Briere family and humor don’t go well together. ♿️

To be the 2nd line RW. Briere and Jones are as dumb as the rest. We all knew it was going to happen but it’s still (frank)ing unbelievable.

It’s not outrageously awful but he makes more than Reinhart. Briere seems to lose a little on every contract he signs which does add up. Philadelphia isn’t and really has never been a destination for players. They just get paid a lot here.

If you are referring to me, I am just pointing out some facts. I am not a doom and gloom guy. Are there things to be optimistic about, yes. but not many.

Just can't stand teh constant female doging, sometimes reading this board is like dating, sometime they female dog and female dog which drives you to drink.

So in 3 years when Michkov gets his extension, as long as he’s everything we hope him to be, the Flyers will be paying $20 mil for 2 RW, and one of them will be 22 and the other will be 30 with 6 years left on his contract.

8 years and close to $9 per too much. I think I'm done. This is a huge mistake, and I don't have enough time left to waste it watching this shlt go on and on.

Good luck guys.
