He/him. I mostly just use this to yell about Flyers hockey. You can hear me yelling about the Flyers on the Broad Street Hockey Podcast.

I'm still holding out hope the organization can salvage the relationship with Michkov, but they have to act fast and fire the entire coaching staff--and that's just to start. Something is deeply wrong within the organization, and they gotta start tearing out roots.

The worst thing about all these vets scoring is that none of them will be relevant to the team in three years. Acciari? Benoit? Bunting? Who cares—if those guys are why you’re winning games, then you’ve got big roster issues.

I don’t want the Flyers to lose (I thought we were beyond that phase!) but I kinda hope they lose out this roadtrip, because it will hopefully force them to fire Tocchet. It won’t salvage the season but you risk way more long-term damage keeping him behind the bench.

By the way, Denver Barkey now has four points (2 G, 2 A) in his last five games, and entering tonight, he was the only Flyers regular with a 5v5 xGF% over 50% (per Evolving-Hockey) this season. He's been driving play. Now he's scoring, too.
