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!

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!

Will depend on the PWHL schedule for sure but if they still have one I'd say late summer makes sense.

So excited to see the legend Michelle Karvinen finally sign in Vancouver. One of my faves from Team Finland, and she'll be a good veteran presence on that team.

Connor McDavid both hates and loves the Edmonton Oilers with that contract.

Glad to see the PWHL work out the international calendar with the IIHF, moving the Women's World Championships permanently to the November window! Also excited about the new European Championship starting in 2027. Long overdue.

He's got a VERY specific style with lighting choices that drive home his minimalist structure. It's definitely distinctive! I have liked it before in some instances, but didn't really love his Sunset Boulevard direction.

Yeah I certainly didn't have that on my bingo card, but I get similar physical reactions to a lot of animation, and tend to avoid it entirely for that reason. Nothing I saw ahead of time from the publicity prepared me, that's for sure.

It was them! I can't really speak to the performance because I basically listened to the first act with my eyes closed or looking down while trying to not throw up. Good times!

In a first for me today, I had to leave a Broadway theatre at intermission because my now personal nemesis Jamie Lloyd created a set design for Waiting for Godot with a forced perspective that triggered my vertigo. Not a great experience I gotta say.

It's fully October and not being able to wear jeans and a hoodie because it's too hot out is depressing. Get me back to Dublin.

Flyers are getting their chances! Missed the net a couple times. Then some poor puck management by Drysdale and they're forced to take a tripping penalty. Down a man with 26.5 left in OT.
