The Philadelphia Flyers had an opportunity to put a dent in the Eastern Conference playoff race, facing off at home against the Metropolitan division’s 3-seed, the Columbus Blue Jackets. After Sean Couturier opened the scoring late in the first period, however, the Orange & Black put up little in terms of high-end scoring chances, and failed to convert on the ones created by Owen Tippett, Noah Cat...

The Philadelphia Flyers have played 68 games this season. Thursday’s contest with the LA Kings is the 25th that has required overtime. That’s 37% of the schedule. Ridiculous. It took over 65 minutes, but goals by Zegras and Michkov in the shootout delivered Philly its 6th straight road victory for the first time in 8 years. Charlie & Bill break down the win, and the absurdity of Flyers Hockey. Hos...

The Philadelphia Flyers gave up their 2-1 lead in the final two minutes of regulation, but a 2-on-1 that appeared to be fumbled between Noah Cates and Matvei Michkov gave the Orange & Black the win in 3v3.

On January 6th, the Anaheim Ducks came into Philly with the mindset of taking liberties and “avenging” the way they were pushed around in Cutter Gauthier’s first trip to Philadelphia the year prior. Bobby Brink got chicken-winged early, leading to a rare Noah Cates fight. Jamie Drysdale got blind-sided by Ross Johnston. Jacob Trouba delivered a flying elbow to Denver Barkey. Radko Gudas (currently...

Over the summer, Flyers GM Danny Briere made several additions to the team, including Trevor Zegras, Dan Vladar, Christian Dvorak and head coach Rick Tocchet.

Bill, Petey and Charlie react to th...

The Philadelphia Flyers are in the middle of a full rebuild, and General Manager Danny Briere is taking a patient approach to building the team the right way.

In this video, we break down the Flyers rebuild and why patience could be the...

The Flyers were in one of their toughest spots of the season on Thursday night, playing in the backend of a back-to-back after traveling from Philadelphia to Minnesota to faceoff with one of the NHL’s top teams in the Wild.

The Philadelphia Flyers have 19 games remaining in the 2025-26 regular season, and with a sub-5% chance of making the Stanley Cup Playoffs, it’s probably time to give up on that dream after getting blown out by the last place New York Rangers last night. So, with a focus on these final 19 games, Charlie & Bill are looking at Dan Vladar and Sam Ersson’s workloads, as well as expectations for Matvei...

Dan Vladar has been the Philadelphia Flyers’ MVP through 62 games, but in game #63, Vladar was off and, with his team not exactly buzzing in front of him, the Orange & Black were blown out by the Eastern Conference’s worst team. Matvei Michkov made it 3-1 on the power play early in the second period, but that was basically Philly’s only highlight, as the Stanley Cup Playoffs become even less likel...

Alex Bump’s long-awaited NHL debut has finally happened and it’s a night he’ll never forget, scoring his first career goal in the second period against the Philadelphia Flyers’ biggest rival, the Pittsburgh Penguins.
