Flyers vs Penguins, Game 6: How to watch, lineups, and gamethread

Let’s try this again. The Flyers have a chance to close out the series tonight and punch their ticket to the second round. They weren’t able to mount a full comeback on Monday in Pittsburgh to get it done early, but it’s a brand new day, and the possibility of locking in their advancement on home ice does feel extra sweet. The Flyers are looking to get things moving in the right direction again, and we’ll see soon if they’re able to push their game to the next level needed to put away an ...

Comparing AFC North Draft classes

The Steelers loaded up on new talent in the 2026 NFL Draft — but so did the league’s other 31 teams. In fact, the AFC North was home to two of the highest-rated draft classes this year. How did the Steelers’ draft class compare to their rivals? Let’s take a look: Pittsburgh Steelers The Steelers […]

Matvei Michkov set to return to Flyers lineup for Game 6 after healthy scratch

The Philadelphia Flyers are getting ready to hopefully close out the first-round series against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday night and appear to be bringing their promising young winger back into the lineup after the controversial scratch. With the speculation in full force and rumor mills working overtime, the Flyers took to the ice this morning for an optional skate ahead of Wednesday’s Game 6 against the Penguins. And from the looks of things, there appears to be a few question...

An apology to the hockey gods for our hubris

I would like to formally apologize to the hockey gods for our hubris as Philadelphia Flyers fans. Once the Flyers went up three games to zero in their series with the Pittsburgh Penguins, we got a little cocky. Look, we haven’t been in the Stanley Cup Playoffs in six years. We haven’t had a home playoff game in eight years. We haven’t had a home playoff win in 10 years. As a wise text once mistakenly sent to me said “Im sorry for some things I said and for throwing ketchup at wall. Emotions go...

Report: Flyers expected to get calls for Matvei Michkov in trade talks this offseason

The Philadelphia Flyers are one win away from punching their ticket to the second round of the playoffs but it is a decision that head coach Rick Tocchet made for Game 5 on Monday that is dominating headlines. And now, that might lead to some interesting conversations this offseason. Matvei Michkov, as well a know by now, was a healthy scratch for the Flyers’ Game 5 in Pittsburgh against the Penguins. It ended up being a loss and now the Flyers’ 3-0 series lead has dwindled to a 3-2 lead ...

DISCUSSION: If You Don’t Split The Vinicius – Mbappe Pairing…

On a recent episode of the Managing Madrid Podcast, the post-game show after Real Madrid’s 1 – 1 draw away to Real Betis in La Liga, Kiyan Sobhani, Leah Revelle, and Sam Sharpe broke down the performance thoroughly. On the episode, the crew discussed a lot of big picture discussion, especially given that the match […]

Pack9 top Pirates in 8 innings, 12-2

For the second time in 14 days, NC State maintained control throughout a thorough win over East Carolina, this time topping the Pirates in Raleigh by a final score of 12-2 in eight innings. NC State took an early 2-0 lead in the 2nd inning. Ty Head led off with a bloop single and scored […]

For the Big Three, one last chance to have a first

Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang have just about done it all over the last 20 years. Of course, they have the three Stanley Cups. All those Conn Smythe’s that come along with it. Crosby recently crossed into the top-5 for NHL playoff scoring. Malkin has the most playoff points of any Russian. In […]

Discussing the pros and cons of the Steelers’ polarizing 2026 draft class: Part 2 — Wide receivers and trade value

Yesterday, in Part One of our review of the Steelers’ 2026 draft class, I talked with Joey Bray about the hoopla surrounding Pittsburgh’s first-round pick. A lot of that conversation revolved around the negative PR behind the team calling receiver Makai Lemon, only to have the Eagles swoop in with a trade, forcing the Steelers […]

Flyers’ improving process positions them well heading into Game 6

In the heat of a tightly contested playoff series, it’s difficult to argue for moral victories, but it remains that even as the Flyers conceded another win to the Penguins last night to bring the series to a more narrow 3-2 margin, there were still positives in their play and reasons left for optimism that they can still get this thing back on track.  Saturday’s Game 4 showing on home ice was, more comfortably, a poor showing. The Flyers lacked pace through much of the first half of ...

Carolina Hurricanes Get Huge Updates on Injured Nikishin & Ehlers

The Carolina Hurricanes made quick work of the Ottawa Senators in the first round of the playoffs, dispatching of them in four straight games. They're now waiting on the winner of the Philadelphia Flyers-Pittsburgh Penguins series. The Flyers are clinging to a 3-2 lead.  The bad news for the winner of the Battle of Pennsylvania is that not only will they be facing a rested Hurricanes squad, it sounds like the Metropolitan Division champs will also be getting a couple of key players back f...

Steelers free agent visiting Detroit Lions

Pittsburgh Steelers free agent wide receiver Scotty Miller is visiting the Detroit Lions, Adam Schefter reports. Miller is also scheduled to tryout for the Chicago Bears next week.

Flyers could turn to rookie Oliver Bonk for Game 6 in bold move

The Philadelphia Flyers are back home for Game 6 against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday night. After taking a 3-0 series lead, the Flyers have lacked the killer instinct to close out their cross-state rivals in their first two tries. Rick Tocchet has made a few lineup changes in this series, most notably taking Matvei Michkov out of the lineup in favor of Alex Bump in Game 5. He’s also switched things up on the blue line. Noah Juulsen got into Game 2 and stayed in the lineup fo...
