  1. opal_and_fire

    Still some good moments, and tomorrow’s a new day 🧡

  2. TerribleQuestion4497

    All in all not a bad game, Hart shat the bed tonight (it happens to every goalie, even Hasek), but team played well and tried to fight back. Hopefully Tippet is alright

  3. WoodpeckerfromMars40

    Without that Laughton penalty they win the game, period.. they were shot out of a cannon after getting goal #4

  4. zach2thefuture

    Great win streak, and some solid fight today. If Laughton doesn’t take that penalty I think they tie it up.

    Hope Tippett is okay!

  5. DudicalAwesome

    I’d rather just have 1 big sloppy loss than lose a bunch of 1 goal games. That being said, this team plays better in front of Errson.

  6. elentiyaa

    the refs were shit. our pp is shit. it’s a miracle i didn’t get kicked out for punching the avs fan behind me.

  7. 90sHoffmanBMX

    Love the pressure but holy cow do the Flyers need to learn to hit wide open nets. 

    Still they look good, regardless. 

    Hope Tippett is okay 

  8. Phanatic76

    Does anyone know what our afternoon record for the last 10-15yrs is? Swear to god it feels like we lose 80% of the time

  9. AgelessWonder67

    Some bad but still plenty of positives. Hart didn’t play at his normal level D was bad and refs were abysmal. Good still out shot them and fought back hard as hell. The PP took the wind out of our sails and put the nail in the coffin. Still looked good and kept fighting till the end there. Time to see our captain tomorrow and get a needed W to start a new streak. 

  10. AVG_intelligenc3

    What happed to Tippett? Didn’t get to watch

  11. RebuildFletcher

    The past two seasons a loss like this happened twice a week, this is not who they are as they showed when they battled back before a ref blunder killed the momentum. Save the overreactions for another time.

  12. SplendaMan

    laughton needs to realize that after scoring two quick ones that the refs are looking for anything. there is no integrity in the game anymore and that’s just how it is. keeps your hands and stick down or they’ll find a way to call it, just the way she goes.

  13. a2godsey

    I beg, please do not overreact, it’s one game.

  14. BattlingMink28

    The wagon still rolls. Just hit a speedbump at Wawa.

  15. FollowerofACarpenter

    Missed the Tippett injury, what happened? Was it bad?

  16. elentiyaa

    my date was ok until he revealed that he thinks giroux is overrated btw

  17. Wasn’t able to catch this one. Was Hart as bad as his stats say? Saw the one bullshit kick in goal

  18. I didn’t know that soccer players can score goals in the nhl

  19. Repulsive-Season-129

    One teams allowed to kick pucks into goal and interfere and the other gets their stick held and gets called for a penalty. Outcome was predetermined.

  20. Perryplat199

    Back 2 back games 1100+ comments.

    THE FLYERS ARE BACK.

    THE FLYERS ARE BACK

  21. Flyers098

    Not worried about the loss just hope tippet is ok.

  22. BeefTacoTheMusical

    Love this team! No quit! Tough loss but we went toe to toe with fucking Colorado. That isn’t an easy task.

    If the refs called one of the 3 penalties the avs committed before calling laughton, this would have been a W. But that’s how it goes sometimes. Gotta face adversity and come out on top. Go Flyers! See you nerds tomorrow

  23. Perryplat199

    No not the hart loss interviews. He always looks so sad.

  24. RisingEephus8

    Love this fucking team, Avs are a wagon

  25. TARDIS32

    I gotta stop going to Flyers games. This is what happens.

  26. NotABurner6942069

    Investigate the refs for sports betting.

  27. Why do I feel like Torts will make Sammy the starter for Hart committing crimes against Flyers fans who witnessed this performance.

  28. ThePurpleVik

    You just know the people who are saying “guhhh refs lost us the game!” have never played an organized sport in their lives.

    Entertaining game that we could have won. Refs (maybe) missed some calls but our PP isn’t converting on shit anyway. I’m happy with the fight we put up today. Wagon continues rolling boys

    Morgan Frost is also feeling it god damn

  29. SethPutnam2

    Hope Tippett is okay and they bounce back tomorrow, the offense looked good besides them still missing open nets but man the defense at points made the game hard to watch, so many failures lead to goals 

  30. trevallen39

    We got McDavided by Edmonton and we got Mackinnoned by Colorado. They are world class players but theyre not world class teams. Neither team would scare me in a 7-game series

  31. hatylotto

    One loss and everybody loses their shit. We still played a good game but the Avs had some good bounces and our back end just wasn’t 100% today. Also MacKinnon and Rantanen. Whatcha gonna do.

  32. Hi_There_Face_Here

    Only thing that matters is Tippett’s health

  33. abearghost

    A confident Morgan Frost is quite the little filth machine, isn’t he.
