I’m going to get fined for being right, again. Words @broadstreethockey.com

My takeaway from this game other than the Flyers being bad is that I CAN NOT believe Cam Talbot is still just out here chillin in The National like this

They had a good run. Howie is usually pretty good at figuring out when and how to pivot when it’s time to. Gotta trust that he can do it again.

I think the Saquon thing might be more egregiously stupid than what happened with Jalen? Like lower-stakes to be sure but it is insanely obvious this guy should not be playing in this game

This era of Flyers hockey may not end with a Cup but I will admit that their dedication to repeatedly stuffing the Anaheim Ducks into a toilet and giving them a swirly is very funny

if you’re going to the Flyers game today obviously you should boo William Gauthier as much as possible but it’s also important that Leo Carlsson gets a standing ovation every time he touches the puck. need to show some respect to the most important Flyer since Shay Webber

Kinda wild Dan Vladar gave up seven in the first game of the season and is already solidly back above >0 GSAx for the year before October’s out? Has been great.

I didn’t have a problem with sending Knuble down at the time. Something to be said IMO about not overreacting/drastically changing your priors off of one camp, and the forward depth looked fine at the time. But yes, very silly that he wasn’t your first call when it was clear you needed a change.

In retrospect, it did not age well that the Flyers' reaction to watching Cole Knuble be their best forward in preseason was to send him to the AHL and then sign Garrett Wilson and Michael Bunting to NHL contracts as opposed to just giving Knuble the NHL job.

“I mean, when the fans gave us a standing ovation when we ended our nine-game losing streak back in ‘26, I knew what we had here was special” — Porter Martone on the Flyers’ 2034 Stanley Cup Champions DVD (do they still make those?)

Remember when once or twice a month Tippett would have one of those games where he looks like the best player in the NHL and you wonder how anyone ever defends him? Feel like he owes us five of those after this start

Steve Levy complaining on air about how he wants a power play to get called tells me he hasn’t watched a Flyers game in the last five years (which to be clear I love for him)

i had never been as sure of anything as I was that that dangerous Seattle chance four seconds after a momentum-shifting game-tying Flyers goal was going in the net

well the Flyers have moved their way up from “unironically and unequivocally one of the worst teams to start a season in the history of the league” to “getting outplayed by the Seattle Kraken but just like in a normal and not excessively embarrassing way” we should tell everyone and throw a party
