Capturing moments. Trying to do better. He/Him. @taiko_foto in the FGC. (Views are my own.)

Briere also said Owen Tippett had sports hernia surgery about 2 weeks ago, and the internal bleeding issue that sidelined him has healed. "He was really close to coming back in the Carolina series. ... Most likely in Game 6, he would have been back for that."

I mean...I'll take it if you don't want it...If you don't want that...

[Philly Nation @Philly__Nation]

So what goes here now?

[Nick Tricome @itssnick]

It soured at the end, but A.J. Brown's run in Philly should always be remembered as something special.

Because from the moment he got traded here, you just knew: things were different.

Wrote in February that the Phillies' lineup never left 2023.

The point still stands, maybe even more now:

The Phillies lineup isn't normal bad. It's really really bad. Way worse than previous years. They haven't struggled to this extent in exactly a decade.

Is there any hope?

A fierce competitor. A loyal friend. A champion in every way.

[Kevin Kurz @KKurzNHL]

Very sad news about Claude Lemieux. I can recall texting him a few years ago about the infamous Flyers-Habs brawl in 1987, and he called me back instantly. Couldn't wait to talk about it. A true Philly villain - and I mean that as a compliment. RIP

A couple of Flyers fans were holding up these signs in warmups on the Vegas side.

They're not thrilled to see Carter Hart in an NHL uniform again, and the kind of message that sends.

But they do hope donations and awareness toward @WOARphila is their way to at least help.

[Nick Tricome @itssnick]

On an offer sheet and its huge cost (and risk)...

Those Hometown Remix jersey rumors...

And navigating seeing Tortorella and Hart go to the Cup Final.

A few Thursday thoughts on the Flyers:

Vladar and Ersson, if he's back, can hold down the Flyers' net for a while.

Hopefully, eventually, Bjarnason or Kolosov will be able to step up after AHL stints.

And then there's Zavragin as the big wild card.

A look at the Flyers' goalie pipeline:

On Jack Nesbitt's commitment to Michigan...

Porter Martone and Jack Berglund at Worlds...

Thinning patience with Luchanko...

And how close Bonk, McDonald, and Jiříček could be to a spot on the Flyers' defense.

Happy Gage Wood bump day. 🤩

[Nick Tricome @itssnick]

The Phillies finally lost a series in the Don Mattingly era, but they're back to a point now where they "expect to win."

They still have ground to make up, but it's also still only May. They just gotta keep going, a day at a time.

On the Reds series:

Trevor Zegras and Jamie Drysdale are the key Flyers RFAs who are up for new deals.

Dan Vladar has earned an extension, too.

All three want to stay in Philadelphia for the long haul, and Danny Brière should have more than enough resources to do it.

Erik Johnson nearly took a job in the Flyers’ front office. He decided to give TV a try instead. Less than a year later, he’s one of ESPN’s top NHL analysts.

“[Keith Jones] said, ‘Don't do anything else. You're right where you're supposed to be.’”

Travis Sanheim felt a switch flip coming back from 4 Nations last year.

Rick Tocchet saw another when the defenseman came back from the Olympics.

He was sharper, and much more composed.

He was a guy who realized that he can skate with the NHL's best.

From last summer – A starting pitcher with a lot of velo, and a lot more fire, that the organization thinks Philly is going to grow to love real fast:

Gage Wood just got jumped up to Double-A Reading.

The Phillies have him on a fast track, it seems, which might mean we could be seeing that overpowering fastball in Philly sooner rather than later.
