Matvei Michkov’s rookie season was electric, at least the first third and final third of it. Facing big expectations coming off the best first pro season for a Philadelphia Flyer since Simon Gagne, Michkov hasn’t delivered a sequel as good as the first, let alone better. Bill & Charlie take a whole day to break down what they’ve seen from Michkov and what they expect from the final 26 games and his overall ceiling heading into next...
Today we’re taking a look at some scenarios for how the final 26 games of the Philadelphia Flyers’ season could go. First, we take a look at the standings, to figure out what sort of pace Philly will need to play to get back into the mix.
Then we’re going to talk about whether Sean Couturier can end his 29-game scoring drought, and what happens if he doesn’t, as well as Sam Ersson, and if a strong end to this season could keep him i...
We’re got a show jumping all over the place today. We’re talking Rasmus Ristolainen and the how the Olympics could be improving his trade value, which has not been high going back to last spring.

The Philadelphia Flyers have too many wingers, and more are coming. In the top-9 there are six possible spots on the wing for Matvei Michkov, Travis Konecny, Owen Tippett, Tyson Foerster, Bobby Brink, Denver Barkey, Porter Martone, and Alex Bump. And what if Trevor Zegras is just better suited to play left wing? What if Danny Briere acquires another center who isn’t necessarily a first or second liner, and Noah Cates gets bumped to...
Who are some dark-horse candidates rumored for the Flyers as the NHL trade deadline approaches? Flyers GM Danny Briere told 97.5 The Fanatic that the team is “probably going to be on the quieter side” regarding the trade deadline, but the possibility always exists to make some trades from guys that maybe you wouldn’t expect. Bill Matz and Charlie O’Connor of the PHLY Flyers Podcast break down potential targets for the Flyers, inclu...
On today’s show we’re going to take a quick look at the beginning of the Men’s Olympic Ice Hockey Tournament before turning our attentions to Danny Briere, and the contracts he has handed out in his tenure as Philadelphia Flyers’ GM.
How is the Travis Konecny extension working out? Does it look like Owen Tippett’s 8-year deal will age well? And what do his early-tenure contracts for Nick Seeler and Garnet Hathaway tell us about his ...
The conversation from yesterday’s show (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wB5HseADK9A&list=PL41s9y86dRgy9jEKycBC8mtG0YXbto_KF) continues, with Charlie & Bill breaking down young Philadelphia Flyers’ seasons. Today they’ll tackle Emil Andrae, Tyson Foerster, Trevor Zegras and more in the discussion.
Is Bobby Brink the odd man out with the emergence of Denver Barkey? What could a Zegras contract extension look like? Do the guys have any...
Flyers chatter has been consumed by Matvei Michkov talk over the past few weeks. But the team has plenty of other young players under 25 years old on the NHL roster.

We’re dropping the puck on the NHL’s Olympic break with a jam-packed show of odds and ends from the Philadelphia Flyers’ first 56 games.
With more than 2/3 of the season behind them the Flyers chances of making the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2020 are slimming, thanks in large part to their 2-8 record in 3-on-3 overtime games. But while their special teams rankings don’t look great, there may be reason for hope! An...
In the final game before a 19-day Olympic break, the Philadelphia Flyers needed almost 50 minutes to get double-digit shots against Ottawa Senators netminder James Reimer, who wasn’t in the NHL a month ago.
Dan Vladar did everything he could, but through 50 minutes Sean Couturier was the only Flyer with more than one shot on goal. Bill, Kelly & Charlie break down the loss, and discuss if this game could have been any worse.

I promise, this is the last day we talk about Rick Tocchet’s comments on Matvei Michkov during our interview at the Flyers Carnival. But, general manager Danny Briere did meet with the media prior to last night’s game, so today we have to discuss what was said.
Charlie & Bill will also talk Flyers power play and its recent success, Dan Vladar, and what it will take to get Philly back into the playoff picture.
The Philadelphia Flyers, who’ve won three games in 2026 and only one at home, badly needed a strong performance against Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals in the penultimate game before the Olympic break. Philly got off to a strong enough start, taking a 2-0 lead before surrendering a short-handed goal in the second and an early game-tying goal in the third.
But it was Jamie Drysdale and the Flyers power play that won the gam...
Charlie O'Connor was on the scene in Voorhees to report on the Flyers' practice one day after the Flyers Charities Carnival, and ahead of their final two games vs the Washington Capitals and Giroux's Ottawa Senators before the Olympic break.
Sean Couturier spoke to the media about his reduced fourth line role, and Rick Tocchet echoed Couturier's comments and what he can do to score a goal for the first time since December 7.

Despite coming out flat and falling behind 2-0 in the first seven minutes of the game, the Flyers turned it on in the final 40 minutes to earn a point against the Los Angeles Kings thanks to goals by Travis Konecny and Trevor Zegras. Unfortunately, a TK breakaway shot off the post gave OT possession back to LA, which they eventually turned into the game-winning goal.
Bill, Steve & Charlie break down yet another loss, discussing the ...
