Flyers fans raising 2K in under a hour for a "Fire Tocchet" banner is the type of hate you have to respect.

We met the $2K goal in an hour & Tony's had many fans continue to reach out who want to show their disatisfaction with Tocchet & the state of the @NHLFlyers. We're updating the goal to $4K in order add a billboard on I95 near Xfinity Mobile Arena around the same time as the flyover. Spread the word. gofundme.com/f/fire-rick-toc…
The goal has been met in under 1 hour. The flyover will happen before the Flyers Black Friday game on 11/27 @ 3PM against the Vancouver Canucks. If Tocchet is fired beforehand, Tony will try to figure out a way to refund the money or use the money toward something else. More info soon.

Halfway in under an hour. Hope it’s not an elaborate con because something like this definitely gets attention. For better or worse. Ironic considering the org “doesn’t listen to a few trolls on Twitter/X”
Halfway there. For full transparency, we will NOT be flying a "SAVE MICHKOV" banner. Our intent is to not make things worse in the locker room. Our intent is to banish Rick Tocchet from this orginization. We'll either go with one big custom "FIRE TOCCHET" Clown Face banner or 2 separate banners. Tony will place a poll once the goal is met & prices are confirmed. gofundme.com/f/fire-rick-toc…

This means he still can't handle it physically, btw. And that checks out with eye test, too -- some chances early in games, invisible late. Tocchet is doing nothing wrong.
This is something I plan to discuss with @jasonmyrt on tomorrow's Flyers Daily. Always look at total shifts and average shift times, not JUST the TOI total. Michkov -- 18 shifts, 0:34 average Brink -- 20 shifts, 0:47 Barkey -- 18, 0:44 Grebenkin -- 17, 0:46 Hathaway -- 12, 0:45 (0:38 PK)

“It’s a step back, Charlie” -Briere, probably
Yikes. Michkov did say he deleted his Instagram recently, so I guess it's possible that someone else in his camp liked these posts. But assuming it's him, it's an obvious outward sign of frustration and escalates all of this.

It’s all bad, but the discrepancy in point % at home vs away is starting to become striking. .450 vs .188 That’s a 4pt swing.
128
We’re really out here counting shifts on 1 specific player. Nobody should ever wonder why the discourse is the way that it is. When has shift time EVER been a talking point? Is he able to skate longer since he’s not ~fat~????
Matvei Michkov double shifted earlier in the second period. Not sure if coaches were thrilled with that. Believe he lost some ice time, but he's out here for the power play.

PHL has 26M to sign 1 contract this summer. The “worst” case scenarios are a: 1X20M, 4x20M, or 6x20M offer sheet. No team in the league is doing any of that. Next tier of worst case is same terms but ~15M. Easy match (if the player signs in the first place)
Matvei Michkov offersheet day is gonna be a top 5 flyers twitter moment

“Major sports leagues wouldn’t fix a lottery. There’s too much involved”
BREAKING: An internal investigation found that the Spurs winning the lottery in 2023 and selecting Victor Wembanyama may have been fixed. Sources say the league wanted to the Spurs to contend to create a rivalry with the Thunder and increase ratings. A massive scandal is about to emerge.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This account self-identifies as satire/commentary and posts fabricated "BREAKING" claims. No reports or evidence support an internal NBA investigation finding the 2023 draft lottery fixed; it used standard secure ping-pong ball procedures. x.com/FanBrianCald nba.com/news/nba-draft… si.com/nba/2023/05/17… espn.com/nba/insider/st…

Option 2 is by and large the best option and nobody can see it.
Have a story coming on this later in the morning, but what would be your preference on a Michkov contract: 1) 4 yrs, ~$7.5M AAV (walk to UFA) 2) 3 yrs, ~$9M AAV 3) 6 yrs, ~$13M AAV (All based on his play to date - a lot can change over the coming months)

Keeps him RFA and young. Then you hit a 7 year deal that expires when he’s 32 lining it up for a final deal that’s either short term or discounted AAV. Anyone thinking term here isn’t even focusing on the next contract. 6 years he’s 28 and still getting term AND $$$.

Even if the bridge goes to 11M you’re potentially saving long term and gaining way more control over a cornerstone piece.

When we traded him he had a 25pt season. Year following, 38pts. He’s on a heater now but does anyone actually think he’s even a 60pt player? The guys we made room for like Michkov and Martone?
Replying to @shubbyshredds
Farabee has 14 points as of yesterday. He would be leading the Flyers in scoring. No, I don’t think he’s good, but aren’t the players we kept over him supposed to be better?

The iconic phrase is “Welcome To Comcast Country”
Won’t give away the full uniform, but the Flyers’ Hometown Remix does have pretty cool nods to the Liberty Bell. Inscribed within the sleeve striping is an iconic phrase, plus other little details to the jersey that pull it all together. Should look SICK on the ice 👀

Flyers have their longest break of the season so far. (I believe) Sunday’s game is either gonna be all energy or they’ll be shaking off rust, somehow, for 30 minutes. Picked a good one to go to.

They don’t have actual veterans. It’s all guys in their prime or just out of it. Coots at 33/34 isn’t the same as Iginla or Tanguay helping along w/ Landeskog The gap isn’t large enough in “vets” to rookies. Ironically what they actually need is a guy at the end of his career
Those Couturier and Seeler interviews after yesterday’s game against Washington..... Yeah, I’m starting to believe it wasn’t a coincidence that the Flyers played their best hockey when most of the veterans were out of the lineup.
