This team is fun.
2-0 in the eating ramen while watching Flyers era.
I feel like they’re doing what Vegas did their first year. Team of misfits completely bought in to the system and everyone knows their role. It is so fun watching good meaningful hockey.
The devils were 61% on the faceoff…
Damn I miss G
hokey gAM w
Jack Hughes with two horrible turnovers for the tying goal and game winner, absolute Christmas gifts.
I don’t think it’s an overreaction to say this might be the best team in NHL history.
The comeback win gotta love it
One Hughes brother lost the puck and the other one skated right by it on the entry.
Now THAT’S sweet
I moved from Philly to central PA, I can finally watch, boy is there so much to love about this team!
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Tippet yoinked both Hughes brothers in their own house.
Shoutout Ersson for bouncing back after a meh start to carry in the 3rd and come up huge in OT
Next meeting is outdoors in the SS. Game went from “why do we have to be on national tv” to a “must see game”
Morganti: ‘I mean, we’re living in the upside down. Two goalies like this? And what’s been going on in OT and the shootout?’
3rd in the east now
The Eagles are dying so the Flyers can be reborn
Hope you all have a good night and good sleep and look after yourselves.
Edit: this is for everyone
This team is unironically a wagon
Tippett just earned himself a spot on the Stanley cup and a spot in Flyers history.
“OT in OT” – God among men.
Ersson is pissed it didn’t go to shootout
3rd in the East, 8th in the league basically at Christmas. I did NOT have that on my bingo card in September
Eat up Hughes
I’m obsessed with the heart of this team. That OT celly just shows how much fun and camaraderie they have. After the last few years, it melts my cold dead soul.
Imagine if the Flyers figure out how to be competent on the PP. My god.
I think this team might be the real deal. If you’re still saying they should be tanking, you may need to reevaluate that idea. This team is a contender, and they are proving it every time they hit the ice.
Story lines you would have expected a few months ago: “After an embarrassing loss to a Santa Clara County team, Philly went on to establish themselves as the best team in the league for the rest of 2023, including statement wins over hated division rivals”
It’s just the missing team name isn’t what you would have expected
It took Jonsey and briere 5 months todo wat fletcher couldn’t do in 4 years.
Tipp’s speed is unreal. Not many guys are catching him in full flight.
Hoooooooo doggy that was mighty fine
Watching the devils fans lose their shit after the OT goal was a shot in the veins. FNJ.
Side note: looked ahead, schedule is brutal starting 12/28. 5 games in 8 days with a 4 game west coast trip mixed in. 😬
EDIT: Math.
Poehling said they love one another 😭
Love all the Devils fans seething in their post-game thread calling Ersson an AHL goalie 😂😂😂
Congrats on the dub, Philly fans from a Devils fan. The Devils seem the Philly Eagles of hockey this year…. Ultra talented but we aren’t a lick of help from this coaching staff without Brunnette like last year
Lol NBCSP saying Tortorella is the head coach of the Eagles
Preparing for heaps of jokes about it on Twitter
Eagles head coach 🤭
LOL. The graphic under Torts on the postgame interview:
JOHN TORTORELLA Eagles Head Coach
They wish!
If torts was the eagles head coach I’m not sure Bradberry would still be there
EVERYBODY GET IN HERE
Samuel Errson is the best goalie in his draft class from 2018, he has the most wins for a goalie from that draft as well.
NOT TODAY SATAN
What a play by Tippett to win the game, wow!
What a call by JJ to end the game. long JJ plz
I know as a Ranger fan I’m supposed to hate you guys but god damn do I have a soft spot for this team. I’m also a huge fan of torts. Got a chance to meet him once and he was unbelievable. Rooting for this team when they’re not playing NYR. Great game btw Tippett is a beast.
Tippet deserved it tbh he had a few quality chances throughout the game
Damn, sad I missed it, but LGF!
I turned to my brother in the second period and said “Tippett looks like shit. Guarantee he scores the game winner.”
