Scott Laughton has long been discussed as a valuable, versatile part of the Philadelphia Flyers lineup, and a culture-setting leader in the locker room. Laughton has also been part of myriad trade talks over the last several seasons. Coming off a down year, the 30-year-old forward still seems to be a vital part of Philadelphia’s team both on and off the ice. But as Charlie wrote in his Laughton se...

Whether it was Like Schenn, Radko Gudas, Robert Hagg, or even now with Garnet Hathaway, the Philadelphia Flyers seem to always have a player near the top of the league in hits. On today’s show, Charlie, Kelly & Bill take a look back at the players and seasons the Flyers were most physical, since the 2005 lockout, and attempt to correlate physicality (or lack thereof) with winning. It’s F-Around Fr...

I don’t know why, but for some reason, the online contingent of Montreal Canadiens fans have been talking nonstop about Philadelphia Flyers GM Danny Briere lately. On today’s show we’re going to try to figure out why. Plus! A look into Charlie’s mailbag, a discussion on Jeff Marek’s firing, and Thirsty Thursday: discussing players we currently want or always wanted to be on the Flyers. We’re jumpi...

Let’s try something new- “what if?” Wednesday! On today’s show, Charlie & Bill will debate a number of hypothetical situations for the upcoming Philadelphia Flyers season, including Matvei Michkov and John Tortorella clashing, Morgan Frost breaking out, and more! Plus, we’ll discuss the proposition of moving Michkov to center, and Scott Laughton’s appearance on Daily Faceoff this morning. We’ll al...

It’s finally here. It seems as if the days of Danny Briere and the Philadelphia Flyers front office making any news are behind us until training camp opens, so we’re beginning our summer hockey movie reviews today with the 1977 classic, SLAP SHOT! Charlie, Kelly & Bill discuss their favorite characters, scenes and jokes from the greatest hockey movie ever made, and get into a little Flyers talk as...

Thought be the dog days of summer, but Philadelphia Flyers fans are never in offseason mode, and they certainly weren’t over the weekend when more reports about the organization’s treatment of Alexei Kolosov surfaced and the future of the 22-year-old goalie prospect was placed further in doubt. Charlie & Bill discuss the rumors, what we know and what we don’t, and if/how the Flyers could’ve change...

It’s been a pretty crazy week for the Philadelphia Flyers, especially considering it’s mid/late July. So Charlie, Kelly and Bill are foregoing SOME of the usual F-Around Friday shenanigans to finish off the week’s major conversations. First, we get into the Travis Konecny contract extension some more, and then we’ll talk about setting realistic expectations for Matvei Michkov’s rookie season, by l...

As soon as we went live, we had breaking Travis Konecny news! The Philadelphia Flyers announced on Twitter that RW Travis Konecny has signed an 8 year, $8.75M AAV extension.

The day has finally arrived! This morning in Voorhees at the Flyers Training Center, Danny Briere sat alongside 19-year-old Russian phenom Matvei Michkov for the most anticipated introductory press conference the Flyers have held this century.

It’s a day for Philadelphia Flyers fans to truly celebrate, because Matvei Michkov, the 19-year-old Russian super-prospect, has touched down on North American soil… HE’S HERE! Charlie, Kelly & Bill discuss the social media announcement of Michkov’s arrival, Danny Briere & Keith Jones going to pick him up at JFK airport, and what this means for Flyers fans. For those hoping we’d be discussing Slap...

The doldrums of the NHL offseason are here, but it’s never boring with PHLY! On Monday’s show, we’re talking Matvei Michkov! Is he on a flight to Philadelphia? Could he be introduced to the media and fans this week? Or is the 19-year-old simply enjoying his summer as anybody with his disposable income would? And while we’re talking Michkov, let’s take a look at some of his prop bets for the upcomi...

During PHLY Rank Week we’ve discussed some of the best and most memorable Flyers games of all-time. Well today, we’re going the other direction. Charlie, Kelly & Bill are discussing some of the worst games in Philly’s hockey history, including Eric Lindros’ final stand, the Patrick Kane goal to end the 2010 run, and many more!

It’s RANK WEEK! With three Flyers games announced in the first 15 overall Philly selections, today seems like a great day to talk about the rest of the list, especially the games that didn’t make the Top 25. Despite a lack of championships, there are plenty of compelling Flyers games starring Claude Giroux, Mike Richards, Eric Lindros and more over the last 44 years. Where will the 2010 winner-tak...

It’s PHLY Rank Week! We’re listing the Top-25 games in Philadelphia since 1980. With 25-15 announced so far, two Flyers games have made the list, and they share a common theme: Keith Primeau. Both Primeau’s 5 OT game-winning goal from 2000 and his game-tying goal in Game 6 against the Lightning from his spectacular 2004 postseason are listed, so we’re discussing them today. Charlie & Bill discuss...

We’ve spent a decent amount of time discussing what could be worse about the Philadelphia Flyers next season, which would result in the team having a higher draft pick. But there are a lot of things that have the possibility of going right that could potentially result in the few extra standings points they needed to make the playoffs. Charlie & Bill answer more mailbag questions about Matvei Mich...

Let’s turn the show over to our fans! It’s July 15, the NHL’s offseason has slowed to a halt and not much has changed since the beginning of free agency. So Bill, Kelly, & JP have solicited questions and are now answering them. Topics include Matvei Michkov’s ceiling, Jamie Drysdale’s place in the lineup and how we became Flyers fans.

The busy portion of the Flyers’ offseason appears to be at an end. But that doesn’t mean that things didn’t happen this week. Charlie and J.P. wrap up the week with a grab-bag of under-the-radar topics, interviews and tidbits of information that will have legitimate implications for the 2024-25 season.

Let’s talk goaltenders! We’ve talked a lot about the high-end talent the Philadelphia Flyers need to acquire and develop in order to one day compete for a Stanley Cup, and that conversation mostly revolves around top-line forwards, and top-pair defensemen. But goalies are pretty damn important. Sam Ersson showed signs of viability as a starter last season, but the heavy workload when he became the...

Scott Laughton was rumored to be on his way out since last summer, but with the draft in the rear view and the NHL offseason slowing down, the highlight of Laughton’s July has been a photo shoot with Gritty. Will Laughton ever be traded? And after yesterday’s show discussing the disappointment of a quiet offseason, Charlie & Bill discuss the possibility that Danny Briere’s quiet offseason has so f...

Well, we never got to yesterday’s titular topic, so we’re doing it on this Tuesday edition of the show! If Danny Briere, after making a few modest moves, is done adding to/altering the Philadelphia Flyers NHL roster, how would Charlie & Bill grade the second-year GM? Do they have faith that kicking the can to next summer will pay off? Or is it a delay tactic to just buy more time? And what do we m...

Egor Zamula, the Philadelphia Flyers last remaining restricted free agent, has inked a two-year deal. Development camp is over, complete with a Jett Luchanko ELC signed. The draft wasn’t as exciting as we hoped, free agency was a predictable nothing-burger, and now into the second week of the new league year, Danny Briere has not done much to differentiate this year’s Flyers team from last season’...

The Philadelphia Flyers haven’t exactly been extremely active in free agency or the trade market for the first week of the new league year. But the Devils, Capitals, Senators and the rest of the Eastern Conference has been, and the betting markets have responded. Charlie and Bill discuss the eastern conference and the metro division, as well as prospect reports from Flyers Development Camp.  Learn...

While the current Philadelphia Flyers roster may not be making many headlines, the future of the organization is on the ice in Voorhees for development camp. After a less-than-newsworthy day 1, the prospects are back and displaying a little bit more on day 2. Charlie, who has been on the scene at the Flyers Training Facility, and Bill discuss the up-and-comers like 2024 first rounder Jett Luchanko...

With last weekend’s draft in the rear view mirror, the question of Matvei Michkov’s ELC answered and a few housekeeping moves like extending Garnet Hathaway and re-signing Erik Johnson done, Charlie, Kelly & Bill discuss what’s left on Danny Briere’s to-do list. Plus, notes from the first day of Flyers development camp. And finally, are you a little surprised Travis Konecny’s contract extension is...
