Andrae is smooth but undersized, he'll need better anticipation to survive in the NHL.
White Russian is his new nick nameYes, but does he speak Russian?
Freddie Kruger agrees.How did we do it?
What did we do?
Why can’t this be every night?
Yes, they do care about wins and losses. Only a fool would think otherwise. So, if torst wants an extension they will give it to him?He's not getting fired, and I doubt he moves upstairs.
Torts will coach as long as he wants, and then become a senior advisor who meets with Briere once a month and spends the rest of the time with his wife, dogs and horses on the farm.
They don't care about wins and losses right now, Briere wouldn't have accumulated 2025 draft picks unless he was expecting to be rebuilding until 2027-2028 or so (when this draft will arrive). The current team isn't good enough, Zavragin isn't coming over until 2027, Luchanko, Bonk, Barkey, Ciernak, et al aren't enough by themselves to make them SC contenders.
Right now, it's more about seeing who is part of the core, and who may be used as trade assets.
I think they'll try to swing one or two deals for young difference makers.
An old fashioned tight checking, hard hitting low scoring hockey game.
Shutting out Boston on the road.
And people are bored.
Y'all should become Devil fans, all offense, no defense.
I also saw a very physical Bruins team playing with desperation after 3 straight losses.What I saw was a Flyers team that was unable to get out of their own zone for most of the game, and when they did get the puck, they handled it like a live grenade. They couldn't complete plays and sustain any sort of pressure. That's not entertaining to me. That's just survival mode. But, to each his own.
I am sure the number of failed clears by the Flyers was upwards of 20. Could be 30 without exaggeration.
Michkov and Brink are the two best playmakers on this team.
The problem with this stat is it lumps together plays created in transition where you're making open ice passes, and plays in the "half court" where you're making plays passing through tight windows.

TK is more the straw that stirs the drink, setting up opportunities by creating havoc by attacking the O-zone. A lot of his scoring opportunities come from forcing turnovers or in position to receive passes off turnovers, where he's in a 2x2 situation with open ice. Tippett is similar, except he's more of a bull in the china shop, TK has better vision when he's creating by attacking. Tippett has improved as a passer, his problem is making those split second "should I shoot or pass" decisions.
Brink and Michkov are both learning how to handle tight NHL windows (both forces passes too often) and how to play with their teammates. As the season progresses, I expect both to make more plays.

Young teams tend to struggle against strong forechecking teams, we saw that the first half of the Minnesota game.
Flyers also thwarted the Bruins offense, blocking almost 30 shots, breaking up numerous plays.
Michkov and Frost both struggled with tight checking, in Michkov's case he's 19, not used to smaller NHL windows and I expect him to adjust by the second half. Plus it's obvious his teammates are still getting used to him and his quick passes. Michkov and Brink are the two best playmakers on this team.
Same...I rather doom scroll on my phone than doom watch the Flyers...I don't think I can watch this team night in and out anymore. I just waste my time on my phone bored out of my mind
