sometimes i block out where my faves get traded to after the first week so then i open the nhl app and see voracek and his flyers headshot next to a cbj goal 🤪

recap: flyers scrimmage 1/10/21

hi whats up i said i would try to do this and so now i am! let’s just drive right in, shall we

brian elliot looked absolutely incredible. just absolutely rock solid, clearly comfortable in goal. the last two against him were breakaways, so im not really holding them against him. absolutely thrilled he’s back this season tbh

carter hart also looked really good. let two in early and then completely shut things down - a lot of the same calm confidence we saw last season, along with some absolutely sensational saves.

ill just get right to it: nolan patrick is a fucking nhler. he didnt just make the team, he BELONGS on the team. he earned his place a thousand times over; he looked absolutely great tonight. scored a goal, obviously, but his offensive zone presence and positioning absolutely blew me away. his ice vision is just as good as its always been. he’s gotten better at shielding the puck and has almost gotten MORE aggressive, which is absolutely great to see. we’re probably going to see him throw his weight around more this season, which i love. the nolan patrick revenge tour 2k21 is absolutely on.

kevin hayes was an absolute monster in this game. two goals right at the start, and even though he didnt score again, that’s more of an indication of how good carter played than anything else. lots of rushes to the net, lots of good offensive chances.

i am deeply into the giroux-hayes-farabee line. they generated a lot of offense (those two hayes goals) and were a force to be reckoned with. we’ll see how it goes.

also a huge fan of the voracek-patrick-vanriemsdyk line. another great offensive force; jvr’s netfront presence goes GREAT with patty’s ice vision and jake’s forechecking. theyll be a great second or third line - maybe even a shutdown line that can also generate offense and generally be annoying to play against, which again, i love.

ivan provorov is still an absolute monster, which we all know. he looked great tonight and played a ton, and is so clearly the best dman on the ice at all times.

in the same vein, myers and sanheim still look great together! myers especially is earning that contract, which is absolutely ideal.

lindblom, giroux, and tk all looked good. all had good offensive presence and had several chances to score. i always wanna see more from g and tk specifically, but thats just me being me and wanting to see my faves succeed lmao

scott laughton looked great as well; incredible forechecking and a breakaway goal at the end rounded out a really good performance from him.

overall im really pleased with how this went. a little nervous about how the shootout went, but again, elliot and hart put on an absolute clinic all game long. seeing them as a tandem again is absolutely going to work out in philly’s favor, and them combined with the major chemistry the new lines have makes me really excited for flyers hockey this season.

Flyers Valentines ft. Jake “heart breaker” Voracek

[bravdenschenn]

Hi! Sorry if this is a weird question or whatever, but could you tell me a little about the Flyers? Like fun facts, some of your favorite players, stuff like that? :)

hi!!! first off– not weird! i am approximately 200% of the time always willing to talk about the philadelphia flyers! secondly, if i may, @the-ghost-bear recently made this post and it’s an awesome thing to check out for some insight and humor on players that are detrimental to the (current and) near future of the flyers, so 10/10 do recommend giving it a read! i’m not really gonna include many of the players on that post tbh!!

so with that said, onto some of my favorite orange boys and my favorite things about the team…

jake voracek–

actually a garbage man, taking out the trash for us. one of our highest scorers the past few seasons since i started really watching. my second favorite beard in the league (behind brent burns, but we’ll save my crying about the sharks for another day!). one of our surprisingly many gingers, bc the flyers aren’t orange enough, i guess. petting his hair may or may not be on my bucket list. probably going to become cousin it from addams family at some point? apparently a big bruce springsteen fan who takes his teammates to see the boss in concert which is one of my favorite things about him from one big boss fan to another. probably not relevant to everyone’s interests but.

wayne simmonds–

ALL STAR MVP WAYNE THE TRAIN SIMMONDS. pk subban wisely advises you should never fight wayne simmonds. shayne gostisbehere wisely advises you should never prank wayne simmonds. they are both very smart men. campaigned for the 2017 all star weekend with puppies, so if he’s not Your Fave, you’re probably wrong. a good canadian and 100% one of philadelphia’s top 5 favorite humans in existence. he deserves so much. sass level 100.

brandon manning–

i feel like it’s just important to give him a shout out for being soft and sweet and shy and according to @cneuvvora he smells good so is he the perfect man? probably. imo very underappreciated on the whole which is sad. if you take anything from this answer, it’s to go give brandon manning some love.

claude giroux–

you may recognize him as having been captain of team canada for worlds this year but truly he is the captain of my heart. you also may recognize him from “fuckin pigeon” bc truly top 5 hockey chirps. appropriately, also a ginger. maybe was not the best player this year (he had hip surgery last summer tho) but at least he has this skill going for him. mostly just wants to love you. unarguably has the best fiancee (ryanne breton check her out it won’t be a mistake) and the best dogs (who ryanne just made an instagram for harvandcharlie 100% worth a follow). got absolutely hilariously punched in the face by fellow flyer radko gudas during worlds and i laugh so hard i cry every time i see that gif.

brayden schenn–

you don’t even really want me to start talking about brayden schenn because i will legitimately go on for hours probably whilst crying. he’s a good soft canadian boy who loves food and has the brightest smile i’ve ever seen (HE SMOOSH HIS NOSE I’M!!!! so sorry i’m like this…) and allie’s post i linked above does a great job at talking about him. he is my #1 favorite flyer, though. that’s probably obvious.

michal neuvirth–

i’ve heard a lot of speculation we only resigned him to get rid of him in the expansion draft. i’m not going to get into all of that though. he’s still a flyer at least for now right!!! but regardless, he is one of my absolute favorite flyers and in my top 3 favorite goalies no matter where he ends up at any point in his career. one third of our czech connection he is dating radko gudas’ sister and i have no doubt they are going to have one of the cutest babies i’ve ever seen soon (at least, i don’t think the baby was born yet, but it’s gotta be soon??? correct me if i’m wrong). he just seems like one of the sweetest guys ever and this post is very accurate. sounds really lovely speaking czech. i just want the world to appreciate michal neuvirth.

michael raffl–

brayden schenn’s bromo as far as i’m concerned. the victim of one of my personal favorite videos in existence. got injured and didn’t play the last chunk of the season and i miss him A Lot. yet another ginger; it’s frankly absurd how many gingers we have. would anyone back me up if i started a conspiracy theory about the flyers collecting gingers? also, apparently a supermodel sometimes. idk he’s just a good funny dude and not a bad player at all!!

honestly i wish the flyers did more as far as behind the scenes/extras things, because they don’t have a lot and i’m blanking on any Quirky/Funny Flyers Things™? mostly, we cry a lot.

but they are a goofy group of boys who i love dearly

and who are just v soft and smiley

also travis konecny doesn’t know how to blow a kiss? important things to know. someone help this man.

great at sinning

probably should not take any jobs requiring them to spell after retirement

also kind of hot messes when it comes to video games (my favorite video of the flyers ever)

fellow flyers fans feel free to add on ur favorite flyers things!!

sorry this is probably v bad but i hope it at least made someone smile!!! (also none of the pics/gifs/vids or anything are mine just fyi in case anyone thinks otherwise i am just using them for reference about goofy orange boys thanks!)
