Sean Couturier looked like his old self in the Flyers' win, and he might still be better "Don't have any problems putting my socks on," Couturier said of his long-lingering back issues, and with his skates on in Monday night's win over Florida, he was everywhere.

Sean Couturier said he doesn't struggle to put his socks on anymore. All those back issues are behind him now.

With his skates on, he looked like the shutdown, two-way center of old Monday night.

And maybe he can be something better.

Sean Couturier scores twice, Flyers get first win of Rick Tocchet era in home opener Sean Couturier had a vintage performance and Trevor Zegras made his first mark as a Flyer in the 5-2 win over the Panthers.

On Zegras, Couturier, and more from Monday night's first win:

Asked Trevor Zegras how he stayed up from two guys crashing in to check him on Couturier's winning goal at the end.

He laughed.

"I don't know. I really don't know. My neck's f***ed up."

lol.

NLDS: The Phillies were on the brink, then Kyle Schwarber and Ranger Suárez bought them one more day Kyle Schwarber and Ranger Suárez might only have so much time left as Phillies, but they made sure Game 3 Wednesday night wouldn't be the end.

Kyle Schwarber and Ranger Suárez bought themselves and the Phillies one more day.

Did they turn the tide on the series, too?

The Phils will be fighting for one more tonight in Game 4.

Instant observations: Kyle Schwarber, Phillies come alive to win Game 3, extend NLDS vs. Dodgers Kyle Schwarber homered twice, Ranger Suárez was aces in relief, and the Phillies are still breathing.

They're still breathing.

Flyers thoughts: Jett Luchanko's next chance, Cam York's status, and finally getting rid of the Ryan Ellis contract Opening night is near. The Flyers are still working to usher in tomorrow, and found a way to offload a massive financial anchor from the past.

10 storylines to watch as the Flyers try to take a step forward in a new season Will Matvei Michkov continue his rapid ascent to stardom? Is Travis Sanheim quietly becoming one of the NHL's best defensemen? And will Rick Tocchet have this team on its way to turning a corner? We'l...

Eagles-Broncos memories: A big return and a history of trading blows From Brian Dawkins' return to a bunch of blowouts, a look back on some memorable Eagles-Broncos matchups ahead of Sunday.

Brian Dawkins' return...

The 51-point pummeling in 2017...

And DeVonta Smith going up and over Pat Surtain in 2021.

Flyers thoughts: Preseason winding down, roster taking shape Opening night isn't far away, cuts are coming in, and Nikita Grebenkin, Jett Luchanko, and Rodrigo Ābols are each gunning after a roster spot.

Preseason is narrowing down, so is the Flyers' roster picture.

Nikita Grebenkin and Rodrigo Abols might make it.

Now do you let Jett Luchanko stay up and figure it out?

A few thoughts on the Flyers:

The Eagles are 4-0, but they're better than this The Eagles beat the Bucs. They're still undefeated, but not without their list of early frustrations.

The Eagles are 4-0, and you take that.

But that 2nd half against the Bucs on Sunday was brutal.

Fumbling with a 24-6 lead or climbing out of a 19-point hole on the back of two miracle blocks isn't sustainable either.

They're better than this.

Phillies close out regular season, move on to playoffs with walk-off win over Twins The Phillies closed out the regular season with a walk-off win over the Twins. Now it's on to the real show.

The Phillies walked off the Twins to close out the regular season.

The Mets are dead (lol).

And now it's on to the real show.

See you next week (or on Wednesday).

The pivotal plays from the Eagles' skin of their teeth win over the Bucs Jalen Hurts, Dallas Goedert, and the Eagles appeared to be cruising to a cathartic win down in Tampa...until they weren't.

Eagles-Bucs memories: Tampa always causes pain From the last game at the Vet to the nail in the coffin for 2023's implosion, the Bucs have left some painful scars on the Eagles over the years.

Flyers thoughts: Tyson Foerster is out of the no-contact jersey, and has the attention of the NHL's best Sidney Crosby is apparently a big Tyson Foerster fan.

Sidney Crosby: Big Tyson Foerster guy apparently.

Also Foerster's out of the no-contact jersey. Really good sign.

Bernie inspired and encouraged me during my first weeks in recovery. He spoke about the importance of connecting, learning, and never giving up. What an amazing life, what a lovely person.

I got to give him a big hug a few months ago, and thank him for his role in my ten years sober. RIP. #Flyers

Thank you for reading, and congrats on your sobriety!

Bernie Parent was a Flyers icon, and Philadelphia's friend To the Flyers, to the city, and to one timid teenager and his Grandpa, Bernie Parent made everyone feel like a friend.

Looking back at biggest comebacks in Eagles history Where did Sunday's rally over the L.A. Rams rank for the Eagles all-time?

The Miracle at the New Meadowlands...

A pre-TO collapse rally in Kansas City...

And now the Jordan Davis Game...

A look back on the biggest comebacks in Eagles history following Sunday's rollercoaster win:
www.phillyvoice.com/eagles-bigge...

Yup, my bad 🤦

The pivotal plays from the Eagles' rollercoaster comeback over the Rams A.J. Brown finally started getting the ball, and Jordan Davis blocked the make-or-break kick to save the Eagles at the last second.

The Eagles finally remembered A.J. Brown is really good, and Jordan Davis definitely isn't the under-the-radar MVP anymore.

Davis blocked the last-second field goal to walk it off against the Rams.

The Eagles completed the comeback. Here's how:

Bernie Parent, the beloved goalie who backstopped the Flyers to back-to-back Stanley Cups, dies at 80 Bernie Parent was the iconic masked face who helped turn Philadelphia into a hockey town back in the 1970s.

I still think about the Winter Classic Alumni Game and how Bernie Parent trained up to make one more run in net.

How he threw up a wall against the NY alum, and left the ice to a showering of "BERNIE!" chants from CBP.

It meant so much. He meant so much.

The NFL still can't handle how good Jalen Hurts and the Eagles are at the Tush Push Hurts and the Eagles ran the Tush Push several times again on Sunday. The Chiefs couldn't stop it, and the rest of the league still hates it.

Jalen Hurts and the Eagles are still running the Tush Push.

The Chiefs, and everyone else, are still near powerless to stop it.

And the play itself is still making people short-circuit in their arguments to ban it...

Lol.

Andrew Mukuba's pick in the Eagles' win over the Chiefs has him on the way to being 'scary' "I feel like sooner or later, I'm gonna get really, really comfortable, and it's gonna be scary," Mukuba said after grabbing his first career interception off Patrick Mahomes.

Andrew Mukuba picked off Patrick Mahomes in a critical spot on Sunday.

Aaron Nola sets the tone for crucial Phillies-Mets series with his best start of a rough 2025 Aaron Nola kept the Mets under control for six scoreless innings on Monday night. He needed a showing like that. The Phillies needed a win like that.

Aaron Nola threw six shutout innings last night, taking on the heart of the Mets' order for the last frame and getting out clean.

He needed a showing like that. The Phillies needed a win like that.

Getting both to kick off this series was huge.

The pivotal plays from the Eagles' eventful opening win over the Cowboys The Eagles' quest for a repeat starts off 1-0, but it took a whole lot to power through.

Alright, that was wild.

The Eagles are 1-0. They beat the Cowboys, 24-20.

A whole lot of weird stuff happened to get there.

Here's the weird stuff that made the difference:
www.phillyvoice.com/eagles-cowbo...

Bryson Stott made a fix to his swing. He's been surging for the Phillies since. Stott struggled through the first half of the year, but he found stability at the ninth spot in the order, and realized what had fallen off about his swing.

Bryson Stott knew he was struggling. It was frustrating.

Then he took a look at his swing. He saw what was going wrong. He needed to lower his hands.

He's been surging ever since making the fix, which has been huge for the entire Phillies lineup.

Phillies return home with sweep of Mariners in offensive onslaught Trea Turner is on an unreal tear, the "M-V-P" chants are getting louder for Kyle Schwarber, and in the face of losing Zack Wheeler indefinitely, the Phillies' starting pitchers stepped up big.

Trea Turner is playing out of his mind.

The "M-V-P" chants are getting louder for Kyle Schwarber.

And in the face of losing Zack Wheeler indefinitely, the rest of the rotation stepped up big.

The Phillies swept the Mariners. They needed that.

Phillies ace Zack Wheeler has successful procedure to remove blood clot, no timeline for return Wheeler underwent a successful procedure to clear out the blood clot near his right shoulder on Monday morning, but it's unclear when he could be back.

The Phillies have to go without Zack Wheeler, the ace.

But much bigger than that, they have to go without Zack Wheeler, the person.

"This is real, this is life," Rob Thomson said.
