I hope Konecny eclipses Giroux's 102 point season from 7 years ago.

Would genuinely put him in the discussion of all time Flyers greats. But I guess for some people that would only signal that we should trade him immediately.

Shameless propaganda from JJ after the game. Talking points straight from Jonesy to deliver to the moronic masses who already forgot the disgraceful state the Flyers were in back in March, 2023.

 

[Tripod]

3 wins the last 9 games.

Ducks x 2, SJ x 1

At least we are a SC contender at ES

 

[Sombastate]

I admit. That was fun. No notes

Knew it was coming

My gosh Ducks absolutely suck

Did I hear a Jamie’s better chant?

Did I hear a Jamie’s better chant?

And not just after the goal. It happened before too.

Meltzer = Deadhead

Bingo...

I spent my time at The Child's birthday party at the most crowded Sky Zone in the universe..so many kids. Running. Screaming. I desire isolation.

I read today on this board someone post that they’d trade TK for a 1st plus something else.

Meanwhile, much of this board still grouses about trading a 34 year old Giroux with 2 months left on his expiring contract for a 1st & Owen Tippett.

It’s astounding.

TK is an awesome player in his prime & a joy to watch.

 

[BobbyClarkeFan16]

Anyone think John is seething that they've scored 6?

Not only did they score six, but one of them was by newly minted third liner Matvei Michkov. He's probably losing his shit in the locker room.

 

[Beef Invictus]

It was @Beef Invictus

Yes

I like how you deleted all the important context. Did you do that on purpose?

The grousing is because of the nonsensical process the team followed. They were in the middle of trying to contend. In that context, they're f***ing stupid to not sign Giroux. Per their own goals.

The fact that they believed they were contending is a different problem. The team was not rebuilding, they were going for it. They also were failing at moves in line with that.

I didn't think he had it in him, but for me he's starting to reach Giroux's level as a Flyer.
Giroux had a more flair, but Konecny has more grit. And they both have that desire to win.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

That was the most entertaining Flyers game I’ve seen in a long time.

The entire game was physical.

They ran Cutter the whole game.

They scored 6 goals & gave up 0.

Michkov had a goal. TK had 4 primary assists.

The crowd was absolutely electric & into it & chanting & booing all game. Loud as hell. Having a blast. A playoff atmosphere.

Everyone got their money’s worth & more.

And we have posters finding reasons to complain about it.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

We’ve lost the damn plot if Konecny is being considered comparable to Giroux.

Why are you complaining? Do you do anything here besides complain about people having opinions? It's almost always a major part of each of your posts.


Very hypocritical to complain about complaining.

cant you just enjoy the wins!!!

I...what.

Sidenote, but I randomly looked into this today. Holy shit has Giroux been good for the last few years. The Points have fallen off. Everything else is fantastic.

Anaheim: Carlson (2), McTavish (3), Gauthier (5), Mintyukov (10).
And they have Zegras (9) on IR and Sennecke (3) who didn't make team Canada.
How many high picks before a team becomes decent?

Anaheim is both dirty and soft, a hard combo to pull off.
A lot of cheap shots, but they didn't win many battles.

Gauthier is a marshmallow, Flyers weren't headhunting, but they stripped him of the puck a few times, no fight along the boards, doesn't go to the net. He's got size, good speed but not that slick of a skater, good shot, but plays like a 180 lb forward. Compared to Foerster as a 22 year old rookie, there's no fight in this dog. He'll score with that shot, but not much else unless he develops some cojones.

Couts may be finished as a center, another game where he was a nonfactor, despite playing with Lycksell and Michkov. But you're not breaking up the Cates line, Frost with TK and Tippett looked great, so how do you put a third line together? Laughton - Poehling - Michkov?

Who wants to whine about keeping TK instead of getting a late 1st, 2nd and a "B" prospect?
Not only is he becoming an elite player, he's "our rat," similar to Marchand in that he bring energy and 'tude. And it rubs off, look at Brink hitting guys 30 lbs heavier.

Nice shutout for Ersson, when he's on and healthy he looks like a #1, but he's struggled with consistency and staying healthy. But they can afford to let him grow on the job.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

They picked the guy who isn't very good at 5OA, immediately named him a core piece, and we're now taking victory laps that he doesn't have NHL star skills because he got traded for peanuts. A perfect summation of what it takes to be a Flyers fan in 2025.

 

[bennysflyers16]

We have 2 more points than ducks. We are just as bad with less talent.

Every time that CF88 complains about an offensive zone faceoff loss I cant help bringing him home from jumping to my mind.

No, because I miss the fun games to have my senses obliterated
