  • NHL Rookie of the Month – Michkov Impresses in First Month

    NHL Rookie of the Month – Michkov Impresses in First Month

    Today the National Hockey League has announced the Rookie of the Month for the month of October 2025.

    Matvei Michkov (RW – PHI)

    • Philadelphia Flyers right wing Matvei Michkov, who led all rookies in goals (4), points (t-9), power-play goals (3), power-play assists (t-3), power-play points (6) and shooting percentage (minimum: 1 SOG/GP; t-20.0%) across 11 games, has been named the NHL’s β€œRookie of the Month” for October.

      Michkov edged Dallas Stars center Logan Stankoven (1-8β€”9 in 9 GP), Montreal Canadiens defenseman Lane Hutson (0-7β€”7 in 11 GP), Carolina Hurricanes right wing Jackson Blake (3-2β€”5 in 9 GP), New York Islanders right wing Maxim Tsyplakov (1-4β€”5 in 10 GP) and Colorado Avalanche goaltender Justus Annunen (4-1-0, 2.48 GAA, .905 SV%) for the honor.

      Michkov, who made his NHL debut on Oct. 11 at VAN, also ranked among the top October rookies in assists (3rd; 5) and shots on goal (3rd; 20) while pacing rookie forwards in both total (202:43) and average (18:26) time on ice – behind only Hutson overall (250:53 TOI, 22:48 TOI/GP).

      Michkov recorded a trio of multi-point performances, highlighted by his first two NHL goals (both on the power play) on Oct. 15 at EDM (2-0β€”2). He became the first Philadelphia player to score his first two career goals in the same contest since Vinny Prospal on March 8, 1997 at PIT (2-0β€”2) and – at 19 years, 311 days – the youngest Flyers player with a multi-goal game since Nolan Patrick (19 years, 196 days) on April 3, 2018 at NYI (2-1β€”3).

      Michkov, the seventh overall pick from the 2023 NHL Draft, is the first Philadelphia skater who has been selected as a β€œRookie of the Month” since left wing James van Riemsdyk in November 2009 (4-5β€”9 in 12 GP).

    TXHT Jersey Share – Going Outdoors at MetLife

    Ladies and gentlemen welcome to another edition of TXHT Jersey Share where today we take a look at the Philadelphia Flyers 2024 Stadium Series jersey.

    As I’ve noted a while back, I was at the NHL Stadium Series game between the Philadelphia Flyers and New Jersey Devils at MetLife Stadium, and I had a good time with my good buddy Scott. And as I’ve also noted, I think the Flyers had the best jerseys of the four teams that participated in the Stadium Series that weekend. So obviously I had to pick one up. Luckily for me, the Flyers jersey was on sale on the NHL Shop website, and I was able to secure at a very good price.

    Now if you’ve read my previous article on the jersey (which you can read here), I go into great detail on the jersey itself. However, since this is my first time talking about the game in an article since being there, I’m going to take the opportunity to do that.

    At The Stadium Series

    I thought the game was good. It was a very vibrant environment at MetLife Stadium which was headlined by the Jonas Brothers. As for the jerseys in action, the Flyers jerseys were definitely noticeable. You could read the numbers from up above where we were sitting, and as I predicted with the Devils, they were very hard to read in person. As for seeing the jerseys up close in person. When I could see the Flyers jersey at one of the NHL Shop booths, it definitely looked good. However, for the Devils, because they sold out so fast, I couldn’t really get a good look at them.

    Overall, I had a fun time. Getting an Uber after the game was a nightmare, but we got back to our hotel eventually lol. But yea, it was fun.

  • Looking at the Stadium Series Jerseys

    Looking at the Stadium Series Jerseys

    At long last the NHL and Adidas have finally released the Stadium Series jerseys for the Philadelphia Flyers, New Jersey Devils, New York Rangers, and New York Islanders. Today we’ll be looking at the Stadium Series jerseys, and ranking the jerseys.

    4. New York Islanders

    Starting in last place we have the New York Islanders who also are the recipients to the “At least You Tried” Award. This has Lou Lamoriello’s fingerprints all over it as it’s very bland and boring. Just like the hockey teams he builds.

    The Isles are going with a navy jersey with a massive orange stripe across the center with “ISLES” in navy in the middle of the jersey. The jersey also has a large orange stripe on the sleeves that’ll feature the jersey numbers in navy, and a small orange trim on the bottom of the jersey and sleeves and on the collar. On the back of the jerseys the players names will be in orange, and the numbers will be navy with orange trim. It should be noted that the orange trim is a brighter orange than the one being used on the jersey itself.

    The Islanders logo is on the left shoulder while the Stadium series patch is on the right shoulder. Overall, this jersey is near the bottom of the barrel along with their Reverse Retro jerseys which they either didn’t try (RR1.0), or bastardized something that could have been great (RR2.0).

    3. New Jersey Devils

    Ok, so I’m going to get some hate for this, but the New Jersey Devils come in third for me. I understand what they are going for, but I’m just not feeling it. They essentially took their current home jersey, removed all of the white, and enlarged the logo and numbers for the Stadium Series atmosphere. Also, having the names and numbers in all black is a choice to say the least. I wouldn’t be surprised if they passed the TV test, but I could see them being a little problematic to see live at MetLife Stadium. However, I could be wrong, and I’ll know soon enough when I am at the Devils/Flyers game on Feb. 17th.

    Overall, I think the colors are fine, I’d just change a few things personally to make it more aesthetically appealing. And who knows, maybe these jerseys will grow on me when I see them in action next month.

    2. New York Rangers

    Coming in at number two we have the New York Rangers. Honestly, I’m a little surprised myself that I have the Rangers ranked as high as I do. I really thought they would have been lower, but after looking at the jersey more this one grew on me rather quickly, like a Jacob Trouba elbow to the head.

    The Rangers, being the road team for the sixth time now for an outdoor game, is rocking white jerseys with red and blue large stripes on the sleeves with smaller white stripes for spacing. The bottom of the jersey has blue base. The player names are also in blue, but the thing that really stands out to me the most is the “NYR” and the numbers. The red with blue borders makes this jersey really stand out to me, and in a really positive way. The Rangers doing the “NYR” like they have their team name on their home and roads doesn’t bother me as much as it’s very on brand, but they did a really great job of making them stand out. Overall, I could see me getting this jersey for my collection (and I do need a Rangers jersey for my collection).

    1. Philadelphia Flyers

    Coming at the number one spot is the Philadelphia Flyers. For a team that has already gone a rebrand of the summer I was kind of worried what they would do for the Stadiums Series, but I’m actually really impressed with the Flyers did here.

    Rocking a white jersey, the Flyers jersey has an orange stripe on the bottom with white trim underneath, but what really makes this jersey stand out to me is the how the sleeves contribute to the back of the jersey. The sleeves which have a large orange stripe on the middle of the sleeve with a smaller black stripe above. The black stripe, however, stretches from sleeve to sleeve across the back, and on the black stripe on the back is where the players names go. I think that’s really cool and creative. The players numbers are in orange with no borders to them just like with their new home and road jerseys, but instead of having the numbers on the sleeves, they are on the shoulders, which is a nice touch to really differentiate themselves from the other jerseys. Overall, I love these jerseys, and I would definitely buy one for the collection.

    Noteworthy Mention

    While it’s not a Stadium Series jersey, on Thursday night the San Jose Sharks unveiled their new alternate jerseys.

    Nicknamed the “Cali Fin” or the “Evolve” jersey, the Sharks introduced their newest alternate jersey a little over a year after going through a rebrand themselves. Going back to black for their base the Sharks used their secondary “Cali Fin” logo as their primary, and on the shoulders they reintroduced the Northern California Shark-fin in a re-imagined design for which they revised from their 2015 Stadium Series jersey. It has the same setup as the current home and road jerseys, but with additional teal striping to help bring more life to the jersey, which I feel it succeeds at doing. Hands down this jersey is a thousand times better than that awful Stealth jersey they used to wear.

    Philadelphia Flyers Continue Their Rebuild

    The Philadelphia Flyers continue their rebuild as they enter the 2023-24 season. Continued development will be the key to the season.

    Key Additions

    Marc Staal (D), Garnet Hathaway (F), Sean Walker (D), Cal Petersen (G), Ryan Poehling (F)

    2023-24 Preview

    The Flyers finished the season with a record of 31 wins, 38 losses, and 13 overtime losses, accumulating a total of 75 points. Unfortunately, this was not enough to secure a playoff spot, as they did not qualify for the postseason.

    Looking ahead to the 2023-2024 season, the Flyers have some promising players to watch out for. Carter Hart and Joel Farabee, are expected to play crucial roles in the team’s success.

    The 2022-2023 season was a challenging one for the Philadelphia Flyers, as they fell short of a playoff berth. However, with new additions to the roster and talented players in their lineup, they will aim to kick off their re-build in 2023-2024.

    2 Young Goalies, Who Steps Up?

    The Philadelphia Flyers have an interesting goaltending situation heading into the 2023-2024 season. The team currently has two young goalies, Carter Hart and Cal Peterson, who will be competing for the starting role.

    Carter Hart, a highly touted prospect, has shown flashes of brilliance in his career. Despite struggling with consistency in recent seasons, Hart has the potential to be a top-tier goalie in the league. The Flyers will be looking for him to regain his form and become a reliable presence between the pipes.

    Cal Peterson, the newest addition to the Philadelphia Flyers’ roster, brings a wealth of talent and potential to the team’s goaltending department. As the Flyers head into the 2023-2024 season, let’s take a closer look at what we can expect from Peterson.

    A skilled netminder, Peterson has displayed his abilities during his time with the Los Angeles Kings. Known for his athleticism, composure, and ability to make key saves, he has proven himself as a capable starting goaltender in the NHL.

    While it’s difficult to predict exact statistics or outcomes, Peterson’s presence in the Flyers’ lineup is expected to bolster their goaltending depth and provide valuable goaltending options. His experience and skill set will be crucial in maintaining strong defensive performances and giving the team the best chance to win.

    The Official Personal Care Products Provider of TXHT.

    2022-23 Preview

    A team with no direction. That’s the Philadelphia Flyers in a nutshell. General Manager Chuck Fletcher, along with team Governor Dave Scott, are continuing to prove that they don’t know what they are doing up on Broad Street. The one bright light for the Flyers though was the hiring of head coach John Tortotella, who will make the Flyers a competitive and tough team to play against. However, the pieces that Tortorella is being given to work with is less ideal. There is hope that if they can get players like Sean Couturier, Ryan Ellis, Kevin Hayes, and Joel Farabee back and at 100 percent then that can also give the Flyers a bit of a boost

    Carter Hart should be able to bounce back though with Tortorella as head coach as the defensive play will improve in front of him. Justin Braun rejoining the team after finishing the season with the New York Rangers after the trade deadline will give Tortorella a veteran that he can use with Cam York to help him adjust to the NHL in a more full time role. However, one storyline to look at will be that of Tony DeAngelo. He had a good season with the Carolina Hurricanes last season, but they were a winning team and made it to the playoffs. The Flyers aren’t expected to do a lot of winning, and the exceedingly high price they paid to acquire him and sign him may (will) come back to haunt them. One has to ask though, how long until Tortorella and DeAngelo have their first headbutting publicly?

    This is going to be a rough season for the Flyers. The best thing that can happen to them is Fletcher getting let go and getting a more competent person in the General Manager position.
