PHLY Philadelphia Flyers Podcast

The Flyers were in one of their toughest spots of the season on Thursday night, playing in the backend of a back-to-back after traveling from Philadelphia to Minnesota to faceoff with one of the NHL’s top teams in the Wild. Philly scored the first goal for only the 21st time this season, and despite falling behind 2-1, Owen Tippett knotted it up with a short-handed slapper, forcing overtime, making it 22 OT games this season for the Orange & Black. Then, after Michkov and Zegras came up empty in the shootout, Travis Konecny scored the skills competition’s lone goal for the win. Charlie & Bill break down the victory and what this means for the Flyers’ playoff hopes. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Philadelphia Flyers have won 5 of 7 and kept their slim playoff hopes alive with a 4-1 win over the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night. Trevor Zegras, Travis Konecny, Owen Tippett and Jamie Drysdale all scored, while Sam Ersson was strong again to propel the Orange & Black to victory. Bill, Steve & Charlie break down the win, and discuss what could have been if not for the dreadful run leading into the Olympic break. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Philadelphia Flyers have 19 games remaining in the 2025-26 regular season, and with a sub-5% chance of making the Stanley Cup Playoffs, it’s probably time to give up on that dream after getting blown out by the last place New York Rangers last night. So, with a focus on these final 19 games, Charlie & Bill are looking at Dan Vladar and Sam Ersson’s workloads, as well as expectations for Matvei Michkov, Trevor Zegras’s performance playing center, and more!

Dan Vladar has been the Philadelphia Flyers’ MVP through 62 games, but in game #63, Vladar was off and, with his team not exactly buzzing in front of him, the Orange & Black were blown out by the Eastern Conference’s worst team. Matvei Michkov made it 3-1 on the power play early in the second period, but that was basically Philly’s only highlight, as the Stanley Cup Playoffs become even less likely following an embarrassing loss to a team that has given up and declared a rebuild. Bill, Kelly & Charlie break down the loss, including Rick Tocchet seemingly hanging Vladar out to dry, Alex Bump’s first home game, and much more! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Alex Bump’s long-awaited NHL debut has finally happened and it’s a night he’ll never forget, scoring his first career goal in the second period against the Philadelphia Flyers’ biggest rival, the Pittsburgh Penguins. This game was high-scoring but also somehow low-event, with neither team registering double-digit shots on goal in any period, but still we got highlights from Denver Barkey scoring off a feed from Matvei Michkov, and Owen Tippett notching his fourth straight 20-goal season, scoring on a nice pass from Trevor Zegras. Charlie & Bill break down the shootout win, highlighted by Trevor Zegras’ shootout heroics, Dan Vladar stepping up in the final 35 minutes, and more! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
