Tocchet with a masterclass in using his vets in this game.

Was Letang ever really great or did he just outscore his deficiencies?

I still think he is an amazing stories with some of the issues he has dealt with but as an elite player 😬

Michkov was actually not good. He made numerous really poor choices.

One of the biggest moments in the rebuild.

Remember when Briere traded him for Torey Krug? 😬

Flyers are playing like they just wanna get this game to a shootout.

Oof. Saying Matvei Michkov lead the team to the playoffs is a stretch. Like, maybe if he was ready to start the season they wouldn’t have had to wait to game 81.

It’s about the way Columbus crumbled under pressure. Comparing points between conferences doesn’t work because the schedule isn’t balanced.

NHL CONSPIRACY FODDER:

If the Washington Capitals make the playoffs, they would face the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Don’t act like the league wouldn’t LOVE a Crosby/Ovechkin matchup when it might be the last chance.

It means their powerplay is awful and they want help.

That’s pretty much the league offense now. It’s remarkable how BAD the Jets are at passing. Not their choices but their execution.

They’ve had a bad stretch (despite playing well at times during) but their second half says they’re a pretty good team.

The guy on here that’s been bad mouthing Couturier for the past month should be feeling a lot of shame as these games get more important.

The main problem for the Flyers with WSH winning that game is that the Caps and Blue Jackets play each other to finish the season. One of those teams is guaranteed two points.

They’re just so structured. Ugh.

They have a tough finish. Hopefully the Canes and Canadiens value resting their stars.

I think a young PP is part of it. At this point of the season, it’s tough to accept it as learning experience.

Solid teammate.

The Yzerplan is just to miss the playoffs for a decade.

I still don’t understand what people see in it.

That’s a tripping penalty. Stepping on the stick is irrelevant.

That was legitimately the first game of the season that Michkov looked like a threat. He was not taking pucks away from danger zones and was shooting from all angles.

One time when he was 22, he stumbled into the boards. The tweeters demanded he was trash and should be traded.

It also shouldn’t be forgotten that Briere tried to trade him for Krug. The franchise owes Krug.

The Flyers are 0 and 2 in the Porter Martone era!

(The internet probably)

Foerster is actually the player worth being excited about on this team. The only thing Fletcher did right.

If marshmallows can be considered “salad” then all bets are off. Ambrosia Salad is considered a fruit salad.

It’s been acceptable for Michkov all year.

I hate to say it but the Flyers would be better off with Leonard than Michkov.

Everything on the out of town scoreboard is going the Flyers way…they need that save.

On the Internet? Oh, it’s definitely likely that a part of the fanbase hates Tocchet for not playing Martone 22 mins and giving him PP1 time.

Ugh, I wish the Flyers had traded for Soderblom instead of the Pens.

A steal for a 3rd round pick.
