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!

We didn't see the Flyers best vs Tampa.

@sportsology.bsky.social & @rmiriam.bsky.social try to explain that lackluster performance by the Philadelphia Flyers vs the Lightning. What went wrong? Plus Jett Luchanko on the move in the OHL & our Phantoms Tuesday prospect report!

The Flyers are just half a step off in the offensive zone so far.

Thank you qobuz for reminding me how much I love the works of Ralph Vaughn Williams. Currently engrossed in Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis.

Let me tell you about how being a Doctor Who fan got me a career covering pro hockey.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

The Sirens 3rd line is 🔥 tonight. Accounted for 3 goals in the 4-0 win over the Ottawa Charge.

Girard: 2 G 1 A
Wheeler: 1 G 2 A
Hartje 2 A

Plus a 28 save shutout for Kayle Osborne.

Excellent second effort by the Sirens and Maddi Wheeler punches in the 3rd Sirens goal of the night!

Well thank you Trevor Zegras! Really great move to put the Flyers back up by 3.

Taylor Girard gets her second of the night. You love to see it if you are the Sirens!

Tonight has me thinking about what could have been for a PWHL Takeover Tour game with the NY Sirens in Philly and the Kalty/Vladar Czech content we could have had.

The Sirens FINALLY break through the scoreless tie as Taylor Girard finishes a Maddi Wheeler effort.

I talked to Taylor at camp, and she was eager to establish herself early in her first full season with the Sirens.

Kristin O'Neill trips Emily Clark and Ottawa will go on a crucial power play in the 3rd period.

One of my favorite things about PWHL fan culture is the YT chat going full queer during the official PWHL promo video that plays on breaks & between periods.

You know what it is! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Real goaltending battle shaping up in the Sirens vs Charge game.

Kayle Osborne with 19 saves for NY & Gwyneth Philips with 25 saves for Ottawa in the game so far that is scoreless after two periods.

I'm kind of iffy on that non-call since the Devils broadcast didn't show a full replay. He did get pushed & the aftermath looked more dangerous than the initial hit. I'm betting they would have done something if Sanheim hand't gotten up & been active in the play that led to the Devils goal.

Okay that was a nice pass from Luke Hughes to Hischier.
