PHLY Philadelphia Flyers Podcast

The Flyers are finally back in Philadelphia and maybe they left their jam out west, because Saturday’s home opener was a failure.

Sam Ersson did what he could but the defensive zone coverage and offensive zone creation looked a lot like the team that lost 12 of 17 to end the 2023-24 season.

Bill & JP break down the loss, and what’s next for the 1-3-1 Flyers.

Well, at least it didn’t go to overtime.

The Flyers certainly seemed eager to get back to Philadelphia, and not all that interested in challenging the Seattle Kraken to a competitive hockey game after the first 20 minutes.

Scott Laughton scored a pair in the first, and the Flyers lead 2-1. Then Fedotov imploded and Philly’s defense wasn’t much better as Seattle scored 4 unanswered in the middle frame to effectively end the game before the final frame.

Bill, Steve and Charlie break down a disappointing end to the road trip.

Friday at 10pm, the new era truly begins. The puck will drop on the 2024-25 season in Vancouver with Matvei Michkov and Jett Luchanko in orange and black. Sean Couturier will be wearing the C. Jamie Drysdale is healthy.

Coming off of Wednesday’s mailbag show, one question has stood out- the best & worst case scenarios for individual players. So today, Bill & JP will run down the roster and give their takes on the best and worst ways the season could go for each player, and the team as a whole.

The Flyers have missed the playoffs for 4 straight seasons, and haven’t seen postseason play in 5 of the last 6 years.

Anticipation for hockey season is the highest it has been in years thanks to last year’s overachieving. But how does Philly stack up against their division rivals?

The Rangers, Hurricanes, Islanders and Capitals all made the playoffs in 2024. The Devils have made key additions to a talented lineup. Sidney Crosby is showing almost no signs of slowing down after tallying 94 points last year.

Charlie & Bill preview the 2024-25 Metro division, and make their playoff picks for the Eastern Conference.

Well it’s pretty much official. The Flyers 2024 first round pick Jett Luchanko appears to have made the team as a freshly turned 18-year-old. With cuts trimming the roster down to 23 and Luchanko still with the NHL club, signs point to both Matvei Michkov and Jett will be making their debuts on Friday October 11th in Vancouver.

Charlie & Bill debate the decision to keep Luchanko, as well as the rest of the roster fallout as the season draws closer.

We did it! Congratulations Flyers fans, we have survived another preseason. 

On tonight’s postgame we’re discussing Jett Luchanko’s absence from a lineup comprised mostly of non-NHLers, as well as the performances of Philadelphia’s #2 & #3 netminders, Ivan Fedotov and Alexei Kolosov.

It’s still the preseason but there are no off days for the Philadelphia Flyers. After Thursday’s impressive home debut for Matvei Michkov (1 G, 1 A) against the Islanders there’s plenty to discuss, from The Mad Russian’s expectations to Jett Luchanko’s chances of making the team.

Oh and did we mention that Alexei Kolosov has reported to training camp? And the NHLPA has officially filed a grievance on behalf of Ryan Johansen to appeal the Flyers’ terminating his contract.

There’s a ton to talk about on this beautiful Fall Friday, so don’t miss it!

On Wednesday morning, the Flyers announced their first round of training camp roster cuts. Still here is 2024 first round pick Jett Luchanko — and not only that, he's practicing with the NHL locks, just as fellow bubble players Olle Lycksell and Adam Ginning are.

Where does Luchanko (and Lycksell/Ginning) stand in terms of making the big club? Charlie and Kelly break it all down, in addition to the new entry-level contract handed to a new goalie.

Bobby Brink and Morgan Frost each scored a pair of goals, Matvei Michkov and Jett Luchanko each picked up 2 assists, while Joel Farabee notched a goal and added 3 more assists.

On Monday night, the Flyers travel to Montreal for another exhibition game, with only Brink and Olle Lycksell playing again after suiting up last night.

Day 2 of Flyers training camp has come and gone, and today’s show will catch you up on everything happening with the team as they prepare for the 2024-25 season in Voorhees, NJ.

Charlie, Kelly & Bill discuss Matvei Michkov on a line with Morgan Frost, as well as the differences between last year’s surprisingly strong season and this year where the “snuck up on them” factor is to be assuredly lower.

Will the additions of Michkov, healthy Jamie Drysdale and a goaltending tandem of Sam Ersson and Ivan Fedotov be enough to keep the Flyers competitive, and maybe even make the postseason?

It’s day one of training camp, and you know what that means… John Tortorella’s rope skate!

Charlie & Bill discuss the first day of training camp, and how this season could compare to the surprise of 2023-24.

Matvei Michkov will be the main focus of rookie camp, main camp and most shows moving forward, but other youngsters will get their chance to make an impression on the Flyers brass, as well as fans, over the next few days and weeks.

Charlie & Bill use today’s show to talk more Michkov, as well as some of the rookies who haven’t gotten as much spotlight as the Jett Luchankos and Oliver Bonks of the world.

It seems as if Alexei Kolosov will not be reporting to Flyers rookie camp when it opens later this week, according to reports from Anthony DiMarco. What does this mean for the goalie prospect’s future in Philadelphia?

Along with the Kolosov question, there are other offseason storylines we still don’t have resolution to with main camp opening next week. Is Rasmus Ristolainen healthy? What’s up with the Ryan Johansen contract termination? Who are this team’s centers? Who will join Matvei Michkov as linemates?

Charlie & Bill attempt to answer these questions, or at least discuss what the open-ended nature of the questions mean to the Flyers.

We’re closing out the top 20 prospect discussion with the tippy top of the Flyers forward prospects. Matvei Michkov and what we expect from his rookie season is obviously the headline. But behind him is an intriguing group of future NHLers in 2024 13th overall pick Jett Luchanko, Denver Barkey coming off a 102-point season with the London Knights, plus Samu Tuomaala continuing his push to make the NHL roster.

Charlie & Bill discuss the 4 remaining forwards in the top 20 list, as well as the Flyers standing among other organizations pipelines, and overall impressions of the Flyers prospect group after several days discussing each player.

From Jack Berglund wearing skates that don’t fit to the development paths for Alex Ciernek and Alex Bump, it’s all about the prospects as rookie camp, training camp, and the preseason draw closer.

It’s movie day! We’re talking about the 1992 Disney classic, The Mighty Ducks! And while we’re discussing what we still love about the fiction Ducks, why not use today to compare the Anaheim Ducks’ rebuild to the Flyers. Certainly, there’s no drama that could unfold discussing a team 3,000 miles away? Unless, of course, we get into Cutter Gauthier. And we will.

So how do Matvei Michkov, Oliver Bonk and Jett Luchanko stack up to the core of prospects the Ducks have assembled? Let’s argue about it!

It’s the final week of August, and the entire hockey world is seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. While there are still some loose ends that need tying, like the Ryan Johansen situation, Charlie & Bill are looking ahead to what will be a pivotal year in Danny Briere’s tenure as GM, and a pivotal year for the fanbase as more people will be paying attention to the team than have been in years.

What is the gang expecting? What are they most looking forward to?

Plus, a look at some items from the latest 32 Thoughts, and an announcement for the Rookie Series ticket giveaway!

Happy Friday PHLY fam!

On today’s edition of F-Around Friday, Charlie & Bill discuss another old trope that has followed the Philadelphia Flyers around for years- that they acquire great players way too late.

Sometimes it’s a disaster, and sometimes those players are good contributors. But damn, it would’ve been nice to have them in their primes.

Jaromir Jagr, Paul Coffey, Jeremy Roenick, Derian Hatcher, and Peter Forsberg are just a few of the guys we’re remembering today.

Ryan Johansen, Kurt Overhardt, the NHL CBA and all that fun stuff took over “What if?” Wednesday, so we’re tackling some hypotheticals today!

What if Nolan Patrick was 4 days younger, making him draft eligible in 2016? What if the Flyers go after Peyton Krebs or one of the 20-or-so unsigned RFAs?

Charlie & Bill get into these and more, plus a look at the NHL’s top-20 centers.

While it is “What if?” Wednesday, the Philadelphia Flyers have a very real situation on their hands, as they move to terminate Ryan Johansen’s contract.

On today’s show, Charlie & Bill dive deeper into the Johansen situation, looking at past NHL contract terminations, the possible timeline for resolution, and how this could impact both the Flyers and Johansen. Plus, the Kurt Overhardt of it all!

And if there’s time, we do have a few interesting hypotheticals to fulfill the “what if?” Element of our offseason programming.

In light of the recent report that Alexei Kolosov would like to stay in Russia for 2024-25, and that Nashville Predators goalie prospect Yaroslav Askarov has requested a trade, Flyers fans are abuzz with the possibility that Danny Briere may target Askarov in a trade.

Charlie & Bill discuss the Kolosov situation, what Philadelphia’s options are, and if it makes sense to add Askarov to the goaltending mix.

After trading Cutter Gauthier to the Anaheim Ducks shortly after he was named the Best Forward at the World Junior tournament, Philadelphia Flyers fans clamored for the player Briere received in return: Jamie Drysdale.

Drysdale impressed early, showing off his high-end skating and puck moving that made him the 6th overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft.

But an injury and lack of production hampered his introduction to Philly and now fans are split on Drysdale’s upside, and if he was the right player to get back for Gauthier.

Charlie, Bill & Kelly discuss Drysdale’s season, and what to expect from the 22-year-old defender going forward.
