How many episodes of 247 flyers

Flyers Nate Thompson gives Philly firefighters the red carpet treatment Commenting on Nate Thompson's Instagram post paid off big for these Flyers fans. November 4, Thompson rejuvenated back in Philly, along quest for more special ink With over NHL games under his belt, Nate Thompson is feeling reenergized after starting his second stint with the Philadelphia Flyers.

October 22, Cam Atkinson playing second fiddle to Grandma Marge in Philly Cam Atkinson is already feeling embraced by his new club ahead of his first season in Philadelphia — though maybe not as much as his Grandma Marge! No, no we don't.

And no we didn't. I've never even been to the Art Museum, let alone on the steps. But that's how HBO tried to paint the first scene after the Rangers loss -- morning in Philadelphia, people jumping around on the steps like Rocky. We had been down a dark road, but it was a new day. We were over it. You want to know how I spent my morning after that game? I woke up, went out to breakfast, did some work, took a nap and went along with my Saturday like any other.

It was a regular season game, against the Rangers or not. Jumping around on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art never came to mind. It just seemed like a cop-out -- an easy, disingenuous trap of a segue that HBO typically doesn't fall into.

You know, since none of these people likely knew the Rangers and Flyers had a game the night before. Whether you agree with Laviolette on the Steve Ott thing or not, the takeaway for me from that whole incident is that Lavi is a really freakin' intense guy during hockey games, and I'm not sure how that's a bad thing at all.

From the first moment in the first episode of this series, he's come off as an absolutely awesome hockey coach. A guy who you want to put your ass on the line for. He was encouraging yet not too pushy with Claude Giroux just prior to his return from a concussion in Dallas, he knew when to kick the team in the ass in Colorado, and he's apparently a soothsayer, saying something akin to "I don't like this" moments before the Rangers scored a goal on Friday night.

When the skates and sticks and pucks aren't on the ice, he doesn't have the same demeanor, which means it doesn't get overwhelming. We've seen him talking to the team on an off-day, relaxed and calm, talking about rest and the need for it.

We've seen him talking to them pre-game, discussing game plans and what not, and he comes off like a really good college professor in those talks. He just seems like an awesome hockey coach, and a perfect fit for the team the Flyers have put together in just about every regard. For that matter, so does John Tortorella, and so did Dan Bylsma last year Like, awful to the point that it might have been the reason he was sent down after the New York game.

Okay, not really , but it was hilariously bad. He didn't even make any sense when yelling at the Rangers bench at the close of the first period, and Brad Richards shut him down with an absolutely perfect line. Wait til you see your face after I fuckin' stick you.

When Giroux was contemplating his return last week before the Dallas game, he got off the ice Tuesday morning and was still unsure about his status for Wednesday night. Maybe he would be able to tell us more about the universe, and why you should not kill a tiger in Russia. For the Rangers, if we would have a full season with the team, we could see if their game plan of limiting goalie Henrik Lundqvist's minutes will pay off during the playoffs.

If the HBO cameras would have followed the Rangers from the beginning of the season, we could have seen the original meeting between Rangers forward Sean Avery and management when they sent Avery down to the American Hockey League. Then we could have watched as Avery was brought back up to the NHL and how he inserted himself back onto the team.

Not to mention, we could have seen Lundqvist play in his benefit concert that we saw him prepare for with tennis legend John McEnroe.
