PHLY Philadelphia Flyers Podcast

A month after being named captain of the Philadelphia Flyers, Sean Couturier was relegated to the press box by head coach John Tortorella, a healthy scratch for the first time in his career. The Flyers responded with one of their best games in weeks, taking a 1-0 lead 19 seconds after puck drop and never looking back. Sam Ersson was solid as well, with a little help from the posts, and Philly pick...

The Flyers took leads of 1-0 and 2-1 in this game, but a bad start to the third period made all look lost in John Tortorella's return to the bench. But The Philadelphia Flyers fought back with goals from Nic Deslauriers (!), Joel Farabee, and Morgan Frost, but Felix Sandstrom couldn't close the door and comeback fell just short, with Boston prevailing 6-5. Charlie, Bill & Kelly break down the acti...

After a nice bounce back start against the Sharks, Sam Ersson was looking to steady himself against the star-studded Leafs but instead looked much more like the goalie who was pulled against Tampa, and his results were similar. Felix Sandstrom took over in the 2nd period and the Flyers steadied themselves, but then the wheels fell off in the 3rd. Charlie, Bill & Kelly break down the action, the pl...

With head coach John Tortorella serving the first of his 2-game suspension from the Tampa Bay Debacle, the Flyers faceoff at home against the San Jose Sharks, the second worst team in the NHL. The game was penalty ridden (8 power plays, 20 PIM through first 40 minutes), and after 2 periods, tied at 2. Owen Tippett ended a slump to net the go-ahead goal in the 3rd, but the margin for error was stil...

The Philadelphia Flyers split their trip to Florida, beating the Panthers in Sunrise for the biggest win of the season, but then 48 hours later had their worst showing of the year, falling 7-0 in Tampa to the Lightning. Halfway through the first period of the Tampa Bay Debacle, head coach John Tortorella got thrown out by referee Wes McCauley, and has subsequently been suspended for 2 games. The F...

It was pretty much over after the first period. Victor Hedman scored 1:50 into the game, and the Tampa Bay Lightning never looked back. After 20 minutes, the Bolts were up 4-0, Sam Ersson had been pulled for Felix Sandstrom, and John Tortorella was ejected after some questionable calls by Wes McCauley & crew that led to a pair of power-play goals in the first. Bill, JP, and Charlie break down the...

Coming off the biggest win of the season over the Florida Panthers, the Flyers enter the trade deadline having already dealt their biggest chip in Sean Walker and extended Nick Seeler’s contract. Are more moves coming? What will Philly do on the blueline and at backup goalie for the stretch to the Stanley Cup Playoffs? Bill, Kelly, and JP are LIVE from The Chicken or The Egg in Marlton, NJ breakin...

Sean Walker is gone, traded to the Colorado Avalanche for a first round pick. Nick Seeler, Rasmus Ristolainen, and Jamie Drysdale are all out. Ronnie Attard and Adam Ginning are making their season debuts. But, hey, Travis Konecny is back just in time for the Flyers to faceoff with the Presidents Trophy race leaders in the Florida Panthers, one day ahead of the NHL Trade Deadline. Garnet Hathaway'...

Philadelphia Flyers GM Danny Briere had a busy day, executing a trade with the Colorado Avalanche to send defenseman Sean Walker to Denver for a first round pick and what’s left of Ryan Johansen’s contract. On top of that, the long-awaited Seeler extension was made official, coming it at 4 years with a sub-$3 million average annual value. Charlie, Bill & Kelly react to a big news day in Philly. Le...

The looming spectre of the NHL Trade Deadline draws nearer, with the Philadelphia Flyers still clinging to their lead for the #3 seed in the Metropolitan Division in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. How will Danny Briere handle his first TDL? Are the reports of the Flyers looking more towards the postseason than selling, considering their assigned prices have yet to be met on pending-UFA defensemen Sean...

The Philadelphia Flyers played a mostly-solid 1st period and were up 1-0 after 20 minutes on a Scott Laughton goal set up by Ryan Poehling. As has been the case lately, they gave it back in the 2nd, with Kevin Hayes scoring for the first time in 20 games to tie things up. With Jordan Binnington channeling his first start from 2019, stopping 29/30 Flyers shots by the midway point of the 3rd, the Bl...

Tyson Foerster broke a 1-1 tie late in the second period with his 15th goal of the season, and followed it up with a goal off a penalty shot 45 seconds later to give the Flyers a 3-1 lead as the middle frame came to a close. Philadelphia outshot Ottawa 19-4 in the first period, but came up short on 3 power play opportunities leaving the door opened for the Senators to get back in it, which they di...

Despite jumping out to a 2-0 first period lead and looking poised to cruise to a victory, the next 40 minutes were among some of the worst the Flyers have played all year. Defensive breakdowns, penalties, turnovers, a complete inability to send or receive a pass all killed Philly on Friday night in the nation’s capital. Alex Ovechkin opened up the Caps’ scoring to cut the Flyers lead to 2-1, and i...

Cam Atkinson has finally been scratched after 11 games without a point. Sean Couturier is down on the 4th line. Joel Farabee and Owen Tippett aren’t as productive as they were a month ago. And still, with less than 2 weeks until the trade deadline, the Flyers are holding tight to the Metro division’s 3rd seed. Charlie & Bill break down all the recent goings on, and try to get to the bottom of the...

In one of the weirdest games of the season, which saw a temporary power outage in the first, and Lightning coach Jon Cooper pull his goaltender midway through the third period, Philadelphia picked up 2 points against a team that has been a thorn in their side for multiple seasons. Bobby Brink is back from an 11-game stint in the AHL, and he got the scoring going with a goal early in the first, and...

It’s Monday, you know what that means… IT’S MAIL TIME! After dropping Sunday’s game to Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins 7-6, a lot of today’s mailbag is focused on the goalie position both this year and beyond? Can John Tortorella ever put Petersen back in the net in Philadelphia? Will Alexei Kolosov be the answer behind Sam Ersson? Should Danny Briere trade for a goalie? It’s a netminder...

In a wacky back-and-forth game, the Flyers had a shot to rebound after Saturday’s loss to the Rangers but unfortunately, Cal Petersen was in net for the orange and black, making the task THAT MUCH more difficult. Already missing Travis Konecny, Philly lost Jamie Drysdale to an apparent left shoulder injury, and Tyson Foerster also left after taking a shot to the knee-area, but came back shortly af...

We got a 3 PM start time in South Philly for Flyers vs. Rangers on Saturday afternoon, and neither team looked like they needed a wakeup call, especially after an epic heavyweight tilt between Nic Deslauriers and rookie Matt Rempe a few minutes into the game. The Rangers took a 1-0 lead in the 2nd period, as Sam Ersson and Igor Shesterkin were locked in a goalie battle during this Metropolitan Div...

After losing in overtime in Toronto and dropping a big game in regulation at MetLife to the Devils, Philadelphia needs to beat a tanking Blackhawks team, despite the return of rookie phenom Connor Bedard to Chicago’s lineup last week.

The Philadelphia Flyers have a captain for the first time since March 19, 2022– the day they traded Claude Giroux to the Florida Panthers. Sean Couturier has been named the 20th captain in team history, and the Flyers celebrated by giving up a natural hat trick to Auston Matthews in the 2nd period on Thursday night, but fought back in the 3rd period, tying the game at 3. However, the new leadershi...
