Danny Briere talking about the fans cheering and chanting at the final playoff game
“The players knew how special it was to play in the playoffs in Philadelphia. They didn’t realize how special it was.”
I’m not crying, you’re crying
Here’s Flyers Head Coach Rick Tocchet on if he’s seen enough from Matvei Michkov to believe he can become a top player if he comes into camp in prime shape
Fantastic breakdown of the Flyers exit interviews by @charlieo_conn@PHLY_Flyers
I don’t think there’s any substitute for watching all the interviews yourself but if you don’t have time, this recap is the next best thing
We are live @oandbpuck to discuss the Flyers exit day interviews (lots of great stuff there) and all other things Flyers!

Here’s Flyers captain Sean Couturier on integrating Matvei Michkov into the team
Echoed a lot of what Konecny said and added that knowing Matvei’s character he will be “super motivated” next year
Travis Konecny on helping integrate Matvei Michkov into the team dynamic
Really good answer I thought, highlighting how hard Matvei is working and understanding some of the challenges he faces with the language barrier
Here's Michkov presser from today, and my major takeaways
-Michkov said he has good relationship with Tocchet
-He plans to be even better next year than he was just after the Olympic break
-His offseason work starts immediately
-Said all the right things

Fantastic interview this morning with Flyers coach Rick Tocchet on The Anthony Gargano Show @PHLY_Flyers@AnthonyLGargano
My favorite clip was this one where Tocchet talked about how the fans cheering at the end of Game 4 during the handshakes is a huge motivator for next year
My Michkov opinions:
-He has no interest in leaving Flyers
-He wants to be huge part of this team’s success
-He is learning what it means to be part of a team
-He will spend summer ensuring he’s ready for next season - focus on conditioning and learning English
It will be OK
In 2021 Flyers traded Ghost + 2nd rd pick to AZ for literally nothing
To me, that was them making decision they were prioritizing EVS hockey over the PP
Since then Flyers have had worst 5yr PP stretch in NHL history (not even close)
Might be time to re-examine that philosophy?
We had a fantastic @oandbpuck puckcast yesterday with @jasonmyrt discussing all things Flyers
Check out the replay today to help get you through today without any Flyers game action
The NHL announced the salary cap will indeed by $104 million next year, so here is the Flyers summer primer as it currently stands
I made some assumptions on who might make the team but also have some other options on the right, along with notable league wide RFA/UFA underneath
We are live on @oandbpuck talking all things Flyers with @jasonmyrt as the team looks to dig themselves out of a hole against the Canes

My dream scenario
Leafs get 5th pick in draft tonight meaning they keep pick but Flyers likely get their unprotected 2027 1st
Flyers successfully offer sheet Adam Fantilli this offseason
Leafs are worst team in league next year and Flyers get 1st pick in 2027 draft
