PHLY Philadelphia Flyers Podcast

After another slow start for the Philadelphia Flyers that saw the home team fall down 2-0, the Orange & Black fought back to take complete control of the second half of the game, tying it on goals from Matvei Michkov and Jamie Drysdale to force overtime, while allowing only one shot on goal for the final 28 minutes of regulation. Charlie, Bill, and Petey discuss the loss, Michkov’s goals in back-t...

It was an optional practice today at Voorhees for the Philadelphia Flyers, and PHLY Sports' very own Charlie O'Connor was on the scene to report on the latest. Aleksei Kolosov was sent down to the AHL in lieu of Sam Ersson returning to the roster after missing the last few games, and Tyson Foerster was spotted skating on the ice today before practice, signaling a return is near. Hosted by Simpleca...

The puck dropped on the NHL season on October 7th. One month later, the Philadelphia Flyers are in an Eastern Conference playoff spot! Dan Vladar has been mostly very good, Trevor Zegras looks like a star, Cam York, Noah Cates, Bobby Brink and Tyson Foerster (prior to the injury) all look like they’re taking steps in their careers, and pretty much all is well for Rick Tocchet’s squad. Except for t...

The game started out as a shooting gallery in Philadelphia’s end, with only Dan Vladar seemingly awake for the first 15 minutes or so of the first period. Vladar surrendered one that ping-ponged off 2 men in front, but was the sole reason the Flyers were in the game. From there, Matvei Michkov and Noah Cates tallied goals and the Flyers earned a hard-fought victory. Charlie & Bill break down the w...

No matter the combination, the Flyers 4th line has NOT generated any offense this season so far. Should the Danny Briere and the Orange and Black call up a prospect from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms to try and spark some offense on the struggling line? Charlie and Bill of the PHLY Flyers Podcast discuss some possibilities, including Alex Bump, Karsen Dorwart, Tucker Robertson, and more.  Hosted by S...

Trevor Zegras has been a revelation to start his first season in Philadelphia, leading the team in assists, points and power play points through the team’s first 13 games. The Flyers power play, thanks largely to the addition of Zegras, is over 20% and looks greatly improved from the group that has run under 14% in the previous 4 seasons. Charlie, Kelly & Bill look at the best and worst of the fir...

What a wild freakin’ game. The Philadelphia Flyers opened up a 3-0 lead in the first period, getting 2 points from Bobby Brink, Trevor Zegras and Cam York. And then they gave up 4 in the second, only for Nikita Grebenkin to tie the game and force overtime in the 3rd. The Flyers won in a shootout thanks to Dan Vladar and the magic of Zegras, and that was ridiculous. Bill & Charlie break down the wi...

What a slog of a game. After a 3-shot first period for the Philadelphia Flyers, things didn’t get much better over the following 40 minutes, and the Flyers dropped a home game to the NHL’s last place Calgary Flames. Jonathan Huberdeau scored twice for the Flames, and Dustin Wolf was up to the task on the few occasions the Flyers got anything through to him, as Matvei Michkov, Owen Tippett and basi...

Well, things were going so well, it was bound to come back around. The Maple Leafs came into Philadelphia while most of Toronto is watching Game 7 of the World Series and out-classed the Philadelphia Flyers. Auston Matthews, Easton Cowan and Nicholas Robertson all scored on absolute seeds, and Dan Vladar was relieved by Aleksei Kolosov after surrendering 4 goals. Bill, Petey & Charlie break down t...

Matvei Michkov & Trevor Zegras turned in their best performances of the young season on Thursday night, combining for 2 goals and 3 assists in a game that saw Sean Couturier leave with what may be an arm injury after the first period. In what has become a habit for the new Flyers goaltender, Dan Vladar was very strong once again, especially through the first 30 minutes when the Flyers didn’t seem...

PHLY Sports' Charlie O'Connor was on the scene in Voorhees, NJ for Flyers' practice after their big, chaotic shootout victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins at Xfinity Mobile Arena.

New head coach Rick Tocchet also spoke on Zegras' actions...

The Philadelphia Flyers mostly outplayed the Pittsburgh Penguins, who’d won 7 of their first 10 entering tonight. Bobby Brink stood out with a multi-point night, as did the team’s speed and possession overall. Unfortunately, Sidney Crosby got a Crosby Bounce in the third to tie the game and we got sent to OT because of a strong effort from Artus Silovs, and some typical Crosby nonsense. Bill, Stev...

Danny Briere and the Philadelphia Flyers front office has made the decision to send Jett Luchanko, the 13th overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, back to the OHL to play for the Guelph Storm (and potentially Team Canada in the World Junior Championship), rather than remain a fixture on the 4th line in Philly. Charlie & Bill discuss the decision, as well as Jamie Drysdale & Trevor Zegras’ success thr...

The Philadelphia Flyers overcame a 2-0 deficit to beat the Islanders 4-3 in a shootout. Trevor Zegras scored his first goal as a Flyer, and his second, plus picked up the primary assist on a beautiful passing play that ended with Christian Dvorak making a forehand-backhand move to beat Ilya Sorokin. Bill, Steve and Charlie talk Zegras’ big game, the Matvei Michkov roller coaster, Sam Ersson’s perf...

The Philadelphia Flyers came out on fire early in the first period, putting a ton of pressure on the Ottawa Senators in the opening minutes, including Tyson Foerster beating Linus Ullmark 29 seconds after puck drop to put the Flyguys up 1-0. But the Sens were able to turn momentum after the Flyers’ fast start and Olle Lycksell scoring against his former employer 3 minutes into the second was enoug...

We’ve got another jam-packed show on a non-gameday for the Philadelphia Flyers. Charlie, Kelly & Bill are discussing Jett Luchanko, and whether they believe he’s going to be playing in the NHL much longer. Plus a look at Travis Sanheim’s march towards the top of Philly’s D-man records books, as well as Trevor Zegras and his play as a hybrid wing/center, and whether there is still another level to...

Zegras also comments on his viral reaction to Travis Konecny's fight, as well as an...

Through six games the Philadelphia Flyers are 3-2-1, having won 3 of their last 4 games. New goaltender Dan Vladar has staked an early claim to the #1 job in Philly, and Owen Tippett is off to a hot start with 5 goals. But all isn’t perfect for Rick Tocchet’s Flyguys, as Matvei Michkov is showing signs of a potential sophomore slump. Charlie, Kelly & Bill discuss what’s going on in net, whether th...

The Philadelphia Flyers found the back of the net often tonight, even tallying multiple power play goals, in a home win over the Seattle Kraken. Tyson Foerster & Owen Tippett both had multi-goals games, Cam York picked up 3 assists, and Travis Konecny scored his first of the season en route to Seattle’s first regulation loss of the season. Charlie, Bill & Steve break down the win, that saw a coupl...

After a slog of a first period that saw the Flyers record on 3 shots on goal, they picked up their play drawing a few penalties and out-shooting the Jets. But costly mistakes and a strong performance from reigning MVP Connor Hellebuyck doomed Philly’s efforts in an up-and-down performance. Charlie, Kelly & Bill break down the loss, evaluating Sam Ersson, Owen Tippett, Trevor Zegras and more. Hoste...
