Haven't done an intro post in a while, so:

Hello! I'm Rachel & I primarily cover the Philadelphia Flyers NHL hockey team on @lockedonflyers.bsky.social.

I contain multitudes and will post about Doctor Who & other TV, theatre (my amateur passion) & other randomness!

Brutal to take that penalty late, but Marchand is a master at drawing penalties so.

Very unfortunate there for Vladar as the Flyers fail to prevent the screen from Greer. 2-1 Florida.

Cates makes up for the lost chance earlier with an excellent second effort to tie up the game.

We DID mention on today's @lockedonflyers.bsky.social how good the Panthers are at drawing penalties. They're proving it again tonight.

1-0 Florida after a bit of a scramble on the PK for the Flyers. They'd cleared the puck nicely after that but the Panthers had a great zone entry on the ensuing rush that put them into the right position for a nice sequence.

Off to a not so great start going on the PK in the first minute. Not really intentional by Michkov but the call was the right one.

One of the nice things about it finally being the Flyers regular season is you know there's going to be SOME sort of broadcast, even if you have to look up where it is. Nice to see JJ & Boosh on my TV!

Dan Vladar getting the start in net for the Flyers tonight. Never too early for a goalie controversy!

I'm still in disbelief they let Hayley Williams play True Believer on network TV.

Maybe the Flyers should have held on to Kuzmenko? I do often wonder what he could have added to the mix.

My initial thought was 12M but in the last couple weeks I upped it to 13-14M. We'll see if any of this settles out next offseason or it just gets higher!
