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!

How did USA dominate (two hat tricks?!) & what were USA & Canada's missions heading into the pre-Olympic warmup games?

Left messages for Schumer and Gillibrand. They never answer the phone, but things feel dire.

On that note, I'll be at NY Sirens training camp this week, so if you have any burning questions for the PWHL underdogs, let me know!

Reason number 93 we need a USA specific broadcast for the Rivalry Series: The NHL Network in studio hosts don't know that Hilary Knight already announced that the 2026 Cortina Milano Winter Games will be her fifth and final Olympics.

i will say that usually after a loss in game one of these series, Canada recovers and it's a tight battle and often a win in the next game. This is weird!

As someone with a Team USA bias, I am loving this #RivalrySeries game but as someone who is covering the NY Sirens I am thinking about Kayle Osborne right now.

UPDATE: They did!
Yet another Flyers game headed to OT.
Will they play Michkov and if so, when, is the question.

Giant bucket of salt, it's early, blah blah blah, but even this early I never would have thought this would be the case for the Flyers OR the Leafs.

For those keeping score the ESPN app has crashed four times for me over the course of this Flyers game.

I know the score is still 4-1 as the final here but if I'm Team USA, I want to think about how to play a cleaner game and keep their foot on the gas in the 3rd period.
SOG were 22-14 USA after two periods. Shots are 13-4 Canada in the 3rd.

Canada needs to do more of what they've been doing in the 3rd period moving forward:
•More aggressive play netfront in the OZ.
•Staying out of the box
•Taking more shots that have secondary chances.
