11 Tweets That Portray The Philadelphia Flyers' Season So Far

As a Flyers fan, I've grown numb to the feeling you get when your favorite team loses a game. While it hurts to see the team skate off the ice in defeat, I can't help but get excited when the next game is about to start. Then I'm stuck with the feeling of defeat as this one loss becomes a losing streak of games.

Naturally, I complain when I don't get the results I want to see, as does every other human being.

I try to stay positive about the remaining games in the season (it's only October), but I can't help but let my disappointment slip out every once in a while. Of course, the internet is absolutely no help in keeping your head up about your team's future, but it's sometimes relieving to know that other fans feel the same way about a loss that you do.

Of all the social media sites out there, Twitter seems to be the most popular among hockey fans. It's very tempting to log on to the site and express your thoughts at that moment, rather than seeing how everything plays out later. That's especially true when it comes to Flyers fans.

In celebration of the team's most recent loss to the Boston Bruins, I went to Twitter and picked out 11 of my favorite tweets that show just how our season is going so far:

1. Me too, Gritty

Gritty's falling harder than the Flyers' league rank.

2. A movement I can get behind

This is something all fans wish for on a daily basis.

3. I was also guilty of this

It's almost frustrating to see your favorite team not do so hot after so long.

4. Some people think it's a coaching problem

As the season goes on, I can only imagine we'll be seeing more complaints about the Flyers' head coach, Dave Hakstol.

5. Yeah

This is something I would like to see just once. After that, we'll decide what's gonna happen.

6. There's still hope!

No joke, the Flyers faced a ten game losing streak last season and still made playoffs! It's still incredibly early in the season and honestly anything can happen.

7. Simple math

This is a point that you don't have to be a super genius to make. The Flyers haven't won back to back games yet, and it's not just bad luck bringing us down.

8. Update on the score:

The Flyers just lost their most recent game to the Boston Bruins, with the ending score being 3-0. Naturally, Flyers and Bruins fans alike took to the internet to make a joke regarding the Flyers' mascot's jersey number.

9. Our team is full of talent...

... it's just a matter of having the right coaching staff to figure out what works well and what doesn't.

10. It's uncanny

Not to diss on the Blues without reasoning, but it's scary how similar these teams are in management and performance.

11. At the end of the day, we're fans for a reason

I'm always ready to watch a hockey game, whether I know the outcome or not. I've never been one to be called an optimist, but I know that there's no sense in being permanently upset about something you can't control.

I talk about this team a lot, both on Twitter, and in my everyday life. Whether it's good or bad, the Flyers will always be my team and I'll gladly accept the end results of any game. I know that I'm just one person, and a whole team is never going to care about what I may have to say, but I hope they know that I genuinely enjoy watching them tear up the ice.

I scream at my laptop on many occasions and tend to go on and on about how much better something can be done, but it's out of my love and overall passion for the game. These raw emotions are one of the most interesting parts about hockey as a sport.

In the end, Flyers fans are passionate, dedicated and only want what's best for the team, even if we don't actually know what the best is.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
