From Broad Street Hockey recap:

“Sanheim missed on a wide open chance on a power play, and while the Flyers missed on their few opportunities, there simply weren’t too many of them in this game for either side. It certainly didn’t feel as if the Flyers gave this game away, but it’s an extremely frustrating loss in what was a winnable game against a high-quality opponent.”

Comments from https://www.broadstreethockey.com and HF Boards.

Pregame:

-A point tonight would be nice. Keep it low scoring
-Ready for them to be trounced by a VERY GOOD Kings team
-Al Morganti is interviewing Keith Jones about the state of the Flyers on the pregame show. That is like getting Larry Mullen Jr to interview Bono about the state of U2.
-Trying to recuperate from getting hammered during the Eagles game so I can get hammered during the Flyers game.
—Save your liver. Skip the Flyers game.

Game:

-Michkov has to take that himself. No confidence.
—That’s what happens when you’re punished non stop, for trying anything creative.
-Michkov puts it on a tee - Laughton flubs it. Typical. They'll bench Michkov for not being able to fly the team plane tonight.
-Let the rout begin #culture.
-Laughton with the open net shank and then a clean screen (on the wrong goalie). 0/10
—and he rebates himself. I'll revise to 5/10 now
-Tyson!
-lol thats a weak one to let in
-Overall this has been a much higher level of hockey than the game yesterday. The Ducks game was a rough one.
-Every time the Kings take a shot, I expect it to go in. If Kolosov was any deeper in his net, he’d be in the 3rd row.
-i've looked up twice now from my computer and the Flyers were pinned in both times..or was that one continuous pin in
—Psychologically, they've been pinned in their own zone since 2010, so on one level, yes.
-Only explanation for that is that Michkov is a Puckbender. That goal wouldn't have been possible in any world that obeyed the laws of physics.
-did...did JJ just hate on "a christmas story"??
—For "Elf" no less. :-(
-I feel like Kevin Fiala has been in the NHL for 15 years. He is only 28. His first season was 2014-15. 2016-17 was when he became a regular player for the Predators.
—Predators are incredibly bad at judging forward talent.
-Killer goal, just as we had the. Lead and we're pressing in their zone.
-Looking at us play the Kings, seems we could really use some more size. A couple of our lines look like kids next to them.
-Wow, that's about as bad as can be played without a goal against. Yikes.
-I love when hockey turns into that. The final 2 minutes were pure chaos. That's the best.
-Goodnight all. I gotta get up early
—My wife has a fancy coffee maker I have no idea how to use. I made myself a cup before the game. I don't know what buttons I hit. I am wired.
-Their lack of size really tells when they are getting frequently outmuscled fore the luck in their zone.
-Awful.
-D’oh
-Just like the last time they played in Philly except tonight we led by 2
—I missed that game. it looks like the Kings have just worn down the Flyers.
-Here comes our vaunted power play. Another terrible call, though
-Aww Sanheim.
—Can’t believe he missed that. It was put on a tee for him and whole net was open??!!
-Sanheim just **** the bed worse than Spud in Trainspotting
-Is coaching a power play that difficult?

Postgame:

-Booooo! God damn rip off penalty, some mistakes and some bad luck
-Perfect. Foerster and MM with goals, MM with 2 points, and we lose.
—You really prefer falling two points out of the playoffs rather than giving the kids playoff experience? To move from the 15th pick to the thirteenth?
-Can’t win by filling the net.
-First regulation loss when leading after 2
-Michkov clearly didn't play enough defense....
-Kopitar player of the game. 2 third period goals. draws penalty and scores on that pp. Game gets to winning time, that guy is a winner
—I feel like he's been that guy for almost 20 years, even if he's never been talked about as much as he deserves. Wish 1C like him came along more often.
——He's a .89ppg player over the past 19 seasons. That's pretty impressive.
 
Thank you Clif for these WTS threads, love them!!

Pure comedy gold here: ”Sanheim just **** the bed worse than Spud in Trainspotting” and ”If Kolosov was any deeper in his net, he’d be in the 3rd row

Glad to hear it! I haven’t seen as many complete Kings games to start this season so that threw me off, but it was my LGK new year resolution to get these going again. That Oiler win kicked it off early.
 
Gotta feel for the Philly fans, they've had some epic rosters (included a couple which did not win the Cup) to cheer for but it has been a long time since. It's one of those franchises you can't help but hope they turn things around.
