Would gladly sell my soul (or yours) for a Flyers Stanley Cup. That is Bob Kelly's actual 1975 Stanley Cup Ring on my hand. No I didn't steal it.

@fotodave Guessing that was the Ref's idea of evening out not giving Coots a penalty for the bump on the goalie?

[David Smith @dfs17]

@charlieo_conn "Charlie, I think we all know who caused that goal to happen." - Torts postgame (definitely)

[David Smith @dfs17]

@charlieo_conn "I know Michkov had 2 PP goals and really shined tonight, but I thought the real difference in the game was Jett's return to the lineup. His influence is undeniable" - John Tortorella (probably).

[David Smith @dfs17]

@JOEL9ONE Tua - still trying to prove he's better than Jalen, even at throwing horrendous INTs.

[David Smith @dfs17]

Well, the 76ers are still pathetic. The Flyers folded their tent a few weeks ago. Let's go Phillies!

[David Smith @dfs17]

@charlieo_conn Can't say I agree with it, but if Coots wants to get back in he needs to follow the Frost Program. Get in his office and get in his face about it. Right or wrong, Torts places a high value on a passionate, emotional response to adversity, and he rewards it when he sees it.

[David Smith @dfs17]

@jorilextera There is no way Sandstrom isn't better than Petersen. I have seen Sandstrom play well in the NHL. I have yet to see that from Petersen.

[David Smith @dfs17]

Ooof, uncalled blatant elbowing penalty that appears to injure Drysdale, and now Peterson lets in another softie. He is just brutal.

[David Smith @dfs17]

@ZBerm @holdthebroccoli @Bo_Wulf Good list Zach. And BTW Bo is dead wrong about the Carter vid. Nothing against DeAndre. But it was totally irrelevant to Eagles fans. The only one interested in Bo's "camp crush" from 5 years ago is Bo. He's like a schoolyard bully and its annoying as heck.

[David Smith @dfs17]

@J_Fahringer Very true. Especially if you're not getting stellar play in goal to keep them in it during the lulls in intensity. They were getting that earlier in the season. Not so much on this losing streak.

[David Smith @dfs17]

So much for Errsson being "way better" than Hart. Sure seems like the pressure of being number 1 is eating him up these past two games. Nowhere near as good as he was playing before. Team not playing well either, but he's let in a few softies.

[David Smith @dfs17]

@charlieo_conn Goalie still needs to stop that one though. Yes it was deflected, but the deflection was from out near the blue line. Should have had time to see the puck anyway and stop it. Shorthanded goal also very stoppable. Both were saves you need your goalie to make.

[David Smith @dfs17]

@LesBowen Great song, and apropos.

[David Smith @dfs17]

@charlieo_conn With all the talk about potentially re-signing Seeler, I'm curious about why he would be the priority over Walker? I think Walker has been better this year, and it is generally easier to find D-men like Seeler (grit, shot blocking), than Walker's offensive upside.

[David Smith @dfs17]

@ExJsaquella Goal of the year so far. Holy crap what a shot!?!

[David Smith @dfs17]

@ExJsaquella Not a fan of either, but I bet they're both smart enough to put hot routes in their scheme against heavy blitz teams. Which is more than I can say for anyone currently employed by the Eagles. #verylowbar

[David Smith @dfs17]

@charlieo_conn Honestly not sure they should be re-signing either one if this is really a rebuild. But if they feel they need to sign one of them, I think I'd rather it be Walker.

[David Smith @dfs17]

@charlieo_conn Never mind re-signing Seeler. Re-sign Walker instead!

In all seriousness, it is usually easier to find guys with Seeler's skills/attributes than guys who can do what Walker just did and still be a solid defender.

[David Smith @dfs17]

Fire every coach except maybe Stoutland.

[David Smith @dfs17]

OMG a punt! At least I think it was. Been so long since I've seen the opposition punt I can't really be sure.

Also, sure looked like they tried awfully hard to take a personal foul penalty to give the Bucs a first down.
