  1. The strategy of admitting you’re in a rebuild 2 years after rebuilding so it feels like the rebuild took 1 year is… working.

  2. Perryplat199

    Me before every game: I know it’s ok if the flyers do lose. It’s all part of the plan.

    Me after every game: lol keep it rolling

  3. Just want to say that I’m with the “it’s fun to watch the flyers again” crowd. Maybe we’re singing a different tune in Feb/Mar, but for now they are playing good and winning and I’m just living in the moment

  4. StubbornLeech07

    Trade deadline is certainly going to be interesting with the way this team is playing.

  5. PrawnStar9797

    Watching your team succeed while having no expectations is the formula to enjoying sports

  6. I am once again waiting patiently for win bear’s arrival

  7. aclll8000

    I will give the angryest looks if anybody ever talks ill of Sanheim.

  8. ClearSightss

    Love having a superstar on the lineup finally. TK is a godsend

  9. GimmickyBulb

    Where’s that guy who used to always post an ASCII tank? Miss him. uwu.

  10. thisappsux24

    Revisiting Briere in the booth before the game…whoa. I’m gonna need a long Briere bot to match the long JJ.

  11. WAKE UP PHILADELPHIA AND LET ME HEAR YOU SING, THE ORANGE AND THE BLACK THE ORANGE AND THE BLACK! WHY IS THIS SO MUCH FUN????

  12. Smokey_Jah

    Also, every game we win makes it harder for those stupid flightless birds to make the playoffs!

  13. yourmartymcflyisopen

    Bring back Knock Knock by Mac Miller post-win.

  14. qwopcircles

    Brink is easily one of the smartest/most aware guys on the ice at any given moment. Both apples he had were incredible. This kid is fucking going places.

  15. Perryplat199

    One negative to this.

    Tickets aren’t gona get any cheaper anytime soon.

  16. MichaelMaugerEsq

    I thought this was low key one of frost’s best games of the season.

  17. Most-Iron6838

    Man, I guess Tony, Provy, and Hayes really were cancers that were removed

  18. SethPutnam2

    The replies to the avalanche twitter post with the final score would have you think this team was at the very bottom of the standings, some hilarious reading

  19. Perryplat199

    It’s weird how like overly positive torts was in the postgame.

  20. wisedustin

    Who would have thought all these years the key to success was simply admitting we’re in a rebuild.
