The Carolina Hurricanes are off to a predictably good start after an offseason that saw quite a bit of addition and subtraction on the roster.

How are they winning? Why are they winning? Is this sustainable? Where the hell is all of this going? Sometimes we just have to throw up our hands and see how things play out. The Philadelphia Flyers were outshot 51-22 in their 4-3 win over the Florida Panthers on Thursday night. Despite getting off to a 5-2-0 start, Philly has been outshot, on average, by a count of 36-27. But a combination of Carter Hart's dominance, some great execution in few offensive zone chances, and a little bit of luck (maybe more than a little bit) have this team sitting atop the Metropolitan division with 10 points in the standings, trailing only the Boston Bruins (14 points) for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. Is this good for the long-term health of the organization? Not if the goal is to ultimately acquire top-end talent, which seems only possible via high lottery picks. But after years of embarrassing losses and unwatchable hockey, it's hard to say watching them win, even in a completely unsustainable way, isn't at least a little fun. And it's definitely adding to the mystique of whatever magic is in the Philadelphia air, with the Union surging towards the Conference Final, an undefeated Eagles team, and the Phillies 4 wins away from a World Series Championship all happening at once.

After the first loss of the season the Flyers are heading to Nashville to take on the Predators and see if they can't bounce back from the L.

The good times were bound to come to an end at a certain point, and it all came crashing down on Wednesday night. The Phillies lost game 2 of the NLCS to the Padres and the Philadelphia Flyers' 3-game winning streak to the season concluded with a 5-4 loss to the Florida Panthers. Felix Sandstrom's first start of 2022-23 was eventful, but ultimately unsuccessful as he allowed 4 goals on 35 shots, and Sergei Bobrovsky earned a win over his former team, despite allowing goals to Nick Seeler, James van Riemsdyk, and Travis Konecny. Konecny's tally in the final seconds was ultimately meaningless (unless you bet the total or the puckline), but he did beat Bob in the first period on a goal that was ultimately negated by an offside challenge. The Flyers looked overmatched for much of the game but were actually somewhat strong in the third period, and showed the tenacity and resilience that has often lacked in the past. Still, a backup goalie and very few really good players aren't a great mix against the defending Presidents Trophy winners, and it showed for large portions of the game, hence Philly's first loss of the season. For the rest of my analysis, listen to the postgame. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices Learn more about your ad choices.

It was a very big summer for the Florida Panthers with big-name players and coaches moving out, and new big-name players and new coaches moving in. This is a team with a lot of talent but it's also a team with a lot to figure out, and Todd Little of Litter Box Cats was kind enough to break it all down for us. Learn more about your ad choices.

Following the Orange and Black's 3-2 win over the 3-peat Eastern Conference Champion Tampa Bay Lightning, and after allowing enough time for everyone to catch the end of the Phillies game, Bill Matz speaks to Flyers fans about the surprisingly hot start, Carter Hart's dominance, Noah Cates' rise to prominence, and more!
