Jonathan Toews back in hockey is going to be weird!

Just found out that my freshman college roommate/friend who passed away from breast cancer 15 years ago - her kid who was 3 when she died is starting college this fall at our alma mater. Holy shit I miss her and also time/grief is incredibly confounding.

What will vs SHOULD the Flyers do at the NHL Draft? @sportsology.bsky.social & @rmiriam.bsky.social attempt to predict what the Philadelphia Flyers first two draft rounds will look like vs what we would do to get the best additions to the prospect pool for the seven picks. link.chtbl.com/LOFlyers

Are the Flyers ready for the NHL Draft & beyond? @rmiriam.bsky.social & @sportsology.bsky.social react to GM Danny Briere & AGM Brent Flahr's pre-draft comments. Do they have the right strategy in place, and the systems for developing the new prospects about to be selected? link.chtbl.com/LOFlyers

Probably the least emotional I've been about the Stanley Cup getting awarded in a long time. Just doesn't even feel like it happened tbh.

Seth Jones is going to win a Stanley Cup and that amuses me greatly.

Sure, another Florida Stanley Cup? I guess that's okay or something?

Was searching for a particular family member wedding photo in Google photos and for some reason all my pictures with the Stanley Cup showed up in the results. Congrats to me I guess?

Goes without saying that it shouldn't have taken this Brad Lander incident to allocate these funds but with Hochul it's at least progress.

The PWHL not finding an opportunity for Peslarova to get a starting job is just bonkers to me.

This "agency" has no rules, is clearly doing whatever it wants on the spot, and doesn't consider any legal requirements. Plus they do it in plain clothes with masks. Cowards, bullies, and fascists at work.

This doesn't really seem important right now given *waves arms around at everything* but PWHL Vancouver is stupidly stacked, signing Micaela Cava. This expansion process has been a choice! We'll see what the long term effects on the league turn out to be next year at this time, but yeesh. #PWHL

Seems irrefutable that ICE is exactly the gestapo.

The great thing about physical therapy is feeling like you've made a TON of progress, and then your PT gives you something new, creating a whole other challenge and a different kind of muscle soreness the next day to battle.

Key points from Flyers pre-draft presser: They're going BPA at 6 and feel good about whatever 2-3 options will be there, given that 2/3-8 are pretty close. Not going to be aggressive to make a trade to get a player now. Not wanting to overpay. #Flyers

Do the Flyers have their eye on some big upside forwards? @sportsology.bsky.social & @rmiriam.bsky.social do a deep dive on three strong guys for Philadelphia Flyers late first/early 2nd round #NHLDraft pick options: Will Horcroff, C, Jack Murtagh, F, & Shane Vansaghi, RW. link.chtbl.com/LOFlyers

Expectations for Matvei Michkov in Season 2 are high! @sportsology.bsky.social @rmiriam.bsky.social react to the inclusion of Michkov in the NHL All Rookie Team selections. Then we look at benchmarks for his upcoming season & how new coach Rick Tocchet factors in! link.chtbl.com/LOFlyers #Flyers

As promised, our Bonus Episode with more from special guest Brad Allen of @hpradio.bsky.social‬ We get into Ivan Fedotov & goalie height pitfalls, Aleksei Kolosov & Russian goalie development, NHL Draft prospect goalies Arseni Radkov, Elijah Neuenschwander, & more! link.chtbl.com/LOFlyers #Flyers

Today's Women's Hockey Report podcast is live! @elindsay08.bsky.social and I recap the PWHL expansion draft rating how Vancouver & Seattle fared, existing team effects, and how Free Agency can help everyone! #PWHL youtu.be/aWZuRpD8CiA?...

I swear @elindsay08.bsky.social & I should know by now that any time we record a Women's Hockey Report, the PWHL will announce something immediately afterward. And as I thought they're prioritizing existing teams in the draft order, but thought for sure they'd do the snake again - it appears not!

My top and 2nd ranked choices cross endorsing is exactly the kind of energy I want to see from progressive candidates!

Entering the downtown production of Hell's Kitchen at the Public, I got into one of those awkward after you, no after you, exchanges at the door with Sterling K. Brown.

Is this year's draft stock improved? @sportsology.bsky.social & @rmiriam.bsky.social compare the top ten from the 2024 NHL Draft to this year's ranked top 10. Plus, what the Flyers should do with the 22nd overall pick & the Oilers pick vs your poll results on that question! link.chtbl.com/LOFlyers

This series is weird! Let's keep it that way.

A perfect one timer is one of the best things about hockey.

Two skaters in a goalie trench coat stopped that one for the Oilers.

The Oilers?!

That was a fantastic shot from Nurse. Tremendous placement.

The Search for More Money!

Spectacular conversation about the top goaltenders available in this year's NHL Draft and it really changed my perspective on what the Flyers should do on that front. I learned so much from Brad and so can you!! #Flyers

You think there's a rock bottom but every day these ghouls take one step closer to being actual cartoon villains.

What’s the secret to the Flyers scouting? @rmiriam.bsky.social & @sportsology.bsky.social answer your questions on how the Philadelphia Flyers run NHL Draft scouting, evaluate physicality to project player potential, potential Flyers trades involving Brink, York, & more! link.chtbl.com/LOFlyers

Kudos to the coffee shop I just ducked into to get out of the torrential downpour that is playing Singing in the Rain. 🎶 ☔

If I were the PWHL I would probably schedule Minnesota's first home game next season vs the Vancouver team so the most players can get their rings and see the banner go up at once. #PWHL
