There was the annual bag skate Thursday morning which kicked off the 2024-25 Philadelphia Flyers training camp. And while a few guys struggled, nobody ended up in an ambulance or given last rites on the ice or near the boards. Here then is a recap of what coach John Tortorella said to the assembled media about the skate, about Matvei Michkov and the state of the Flyers. And Sean Couturier and Rasmus Ristolainen spoke about recovering from their injuries also.

The first day of the annual bag skate came and went, leaving a lot of the 58 Flyer players not collapsing on the ice or needing last rites but just physically spent and exhausted.
