You gotta be hyped for the Philadelphia Flyers tonight. They're playing the Carolina Hurricanes at Xfinity Mobile Arena and it’s gonna be a *jawn*. We've been on a tear lately, winning seven of our last ten, and we're riding a win streak right now. This ain't just some regular game; this is a measuring stick. We gotta show 'em that we're for real, that we're not just gonna roll over for anyone who comes into our house.

I'm watching for how our defense holds up against their speed. The Hurricanes can fly, no doubt, but we got some gritty guys on the blue line who ain't afraid to step up. And look, you know me, I wanna see some emotion out there. I wanna see our guys getting in their faces, making 'em pay for every inch of ice. This ain't ballet, it's hockey, and if you ain't ready to get banged up, you shouldn't be wearing the orange and black. The energy in Philadelphia is buzzing, from the folks grabbing a wooder ice down by the waterfront to the guys tailgating in the Wells Fargo Center parking lot — everyone knows what time it is.

* Flyers are 3rd in the Metropolitan, 98 points. We're right there.

* Last 10 games, 7-3-0. We’re hot.

* Carolina Hurricanes are tough, but they’re in *our* city.

* Puck drops 8:00 PM. Don't be late.

This is a must-win if we wanna keep building that momentum. We gotta defend our turf. We gotta send a message. This is how we play in Philadelphia.

No one likes us — and we don't care. Mags, MiTL, Philadelphia.
