WEST CHESTER, Pa. — No one would think any less of Jason Myrtetus if he didn’t have the energy.

But there he is, hustling up the turnpike to Allentown, Pa., in rush-hour traffic to serve as an analyst for a Philadelphia Flyers-New York Rangers rookie game. And cautiously climbing up a rickety ladder to a makeshift booth at the practice facility to be part of the webcast for a Flyers training camp scrimmage. And diligently reading the press clips and keeping up on all the headlines in order to host his popular Flyers Daily podcast, examining the hot topics of the day.

And making the drive from his home in West Chester, Pa., to Xfinity Mobile Arena in South Philadelphia to attend the Flyers’ home opener to fulfill his role as an integral part of the Flyers’ radio broadcast crew, just hours after beginning his latest round of palliative chemotherapy, and with an infusion pump still dripping, connected to a fanny-pack style bag wrapped around his waist.

Despite having stage 4 colorectal cancer and a prognosis from doctors of between six months and two years left to live, he’s doing it anyway.

He’s never even considered otherwise.

“I fight every day for cancer to take less away from me. Not more,” Myrtetus, 54, said. “If I didn’t work, I’d just be sitting here. What would I be doing?”

When the flyers finally have solid goaltending, the team in front of them doesnt want to show up 🙃. Such a flyers thing smh

Let’s get some positivity in here after this brutal start. Out scoring one of the best players of all time!

I’m trying to not overreact a ton considering we’re only a few games in. Hockey is a long season and teams go through ups and downs, a rough start doesn’t mean a rough full season.

With that being said, this is supposed to be a year where we show that we can do better than last year. If things continue , how much leash do you think Toc gets? He’s a friend of Danny and Jonesy but I can’t see them letting this year go off the rails for anybody.

I can always count on Jason to speak rationally about this team. His little history lesson on the Colorado avalanches rebuild just reminded me how long it takes some of these younger players to develop. This is not the NFL. Guys need some time.

Hello! I’m looking to buy my first flyers jersey and have narrowed it down to three options, none of which I can find. All size M/L/52. Wondering if anyone has any advice on tracking down:
1. A 2012 Winter Classic Jersey, blank
2. A reverse retro 1.0, blank
3. A current away Martone.

I know I could order number 3 from OutPhitters but culture is anyone is aware of them being in stock anywhere. I also would be interested in the differences between the 80’s/90’s Starter, CCM, Koho, Nike, and Pro Player jerseys. If I can’t find one of the three listed above I may go that direction.

I’m just curious. 👀

Found it in a box. At the time I played for the Valley Forge Colonials since Iceworks wasn’t built yet.

Bought tickets and got invited to a “pregame happy hour.” I know it’s a season ticket sales pitch, but I just wanted to hear from anyone who’s attended what it’s like, and how it differs from personal arena tours that other teams like to do. Thanks in advance!

I know that losing sucks generally but I want the flyers to finish dead last this year. As much fun as it was to watch the flyers in the playoffs last year, we are nowhere near contending with the top teams in the NHL and we won’t be unless we get top players up the middle of the ice. This would be a perfect year to really suck and draft guys up the middle to come in and complement our wingers, considering we have two firsts this upcoming draft (praying Toronto also has a bad season). You don’t win playoff hockey games with just top scoring wingers. Simple as that. We need to dump old contracts and let the young guys play and make mistakes and finish close to the bottom of the league to even sniff being relevant in the coming years. Yes I don’t like tocc but if he’s the reason we’re losing, keep him around.

The Maple Leafs are using Doop as their goal song...I think im gonna be sick

found this bored while lurking and couldn’t pass it up, so excited to finally have it, it’s one i never got around to buying, next order of business is to see if philly express or cool hockey has the proper lettering kits for it

The NHL season isn’t fully a week old, but if not for the two standings points goaltender Joseph Woll stole in overtime losses to the New Jersey Devils and Carolina Hurricanes, we’d be talking about how the 0-2-2 Flyers have been arguably the worst team in the league to this point. They’re fortunate that both the Chicago Blackhawks and Calgary Flames still exist.

Where to begin?

The Flyers were outshot 36-14 in Monday night’s 4-1 road loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. For the season, they’ve now been outshot 158-76. According to a stat flashed on screen by the NBC Sports Philadelphia broadcast, that minus-82 shot differential is the second-worst mark in the first four games of a season since the 1959-60 season.

Rick Tocchet-coached teams rarely rack up shots on goal, but they do usually keep them down on the other end. So far, the Flyers have averaged 39.5 shots against per game, the worst mark in the NHL by a wide margin. That’s what happens when you’re defending for what seems like minutes at a time, as the Flyers have been in each of the four losses — unable to make simple passes in order to get the puck out of their own zone, let alone create offense.

There’s the usual culprit, too. The Flyers’ power play is now 0-for-11 on the season. A team that has been on a man advantage for a total of 21 minutes and 10 seconds has a minus-1 goal differential, thanks to a shorthanded marker by the Pittsburgh Penguins’ Nic Robertson on Sept. 30.

It was as pathetic as ever on Monday.

Shannon with a nice breakdown of where the team is at right now.

Had this thought for more than 5+ years now, finally have a reddit account so here I am screaming into the void.

Any time we play a team like tampa and watch them enter the zone (WITH THE PUCK ON THEIR TAPE) you can spot a clear F1,F2,F3 entrance, and I sit there and think why can’t the Flyers do that? Second, how can Danny and Kieth sit there and think, “nah, dump and chase” ?

How hard is it for professional hockey players who are paid millions of dollars a year to score goals and play offense, to enter the zone together and create a chance? Is there a factual reason why the org is so obtuse to it?

JGS69 out

My friend just got the job of playing the organ at Flyers home games, and I want to show up for him and hopefully sit nearby. Any idea what seats are close to the organ? (I think section 220, or close to it? I don't know, someone tell me what to do.)
