*This weekend was Break Up Day(s) for the Flyers, which means that we are officially through with the 2024-25 season. There was a lot we learned! Perhaps the most interesting nugget of information gained? That Brad Shaw would be willing to stay on even if not hired as Head Coach. That rules. [BSH]
*Of course we heard from Danny Briere, who gave a little bit of insight into what this coaching search might look like. [BSH]
*Briere also said that “nothing is off the table” this Summer as the Flyers look to move into the “build” part of the rebuild process. [BSH]
*And despite all of us and probably most of you being pretty dang pleased with Matvei Michkov’s rookie season, he is not. That’s why he’s going to be so freaking great. [BSH]
*If you were wondering why Travis Konecny dropped off a cliff in the second half of the season, he gave a (sort-of) answer during his portion of the Break Up Day festivities. [BSH]
*Okay, let’s talk about the Phantoms! The Flyers sent Emil Andrae up to Allentown to join them for their playoff push. [BSH]
*Just as the Phantoms’ season was wrapping up, Alex Bump joined the team and IMMEDIATELY made his presence known. This might be a fun one! [BSH]
*And now we zoom out for a full look at the Kids in the latest Flyers Farm Stars! [BSH]
*Now to the ‘yoffs! We tried our hand at predicting the first round before things kicked off on Saturday. [BSH]
*Still trying to figure out which team you want to root for this year? We might be able to help. [BSH]
*A post-season John Tortorella post-mortem felt right. [BSH]
*You catch that Canes-Devils game yesterday afternoon? Canes looking pretty, pretty, pretty good. Bet the guy that runs that team is pretty cool. [The Athletic]
*And finally, just because the Flyers missed the playoffs doesn’t mean Flyers fans have to miss them too. Get a load of this legend. [BSH]
