PHLY Philadelphia Flyers Podcast

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 Michkov, Trevor Zegras’s performance playing center, and more!

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 likely following an embarrassing loss to a team that has given up and declared a rebuild.

Bill, Kelly & Charlie break down the loss, including Rick Tocchet seemingly hanging Vladar out to dry, Alex Bump’s first home game, and much more!

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.

This game was high-scoring but also somehow low-event, with neither team registering double-digit shots on goal in any period, but still we got highlights from Denver Barkey scoring off a feed from Matvei Michkov, and Owen Tippett notching his fourth straight 20-goal season, scoring on a nice pass from Trevor Zegras.

Charlie & Bill break down the shootout win, highlighted by Trevor Zegras’ shootout heroics, Dan Vladar stepping up in the final 35 minutes, and more!

Why didn’t Rasmus Ristolainen get traded at the NHL Trade Deadline? Charlie O'Connor reports live from the Flyers Training Center in Voorhees to report on Danny Briere's press conference after the Orange and Black kept defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen after the NHL Trade Deadline passed despite intense trade speculation. As the NHL Trade Deadline approached, many fans and analysts expected Ristolainen to be moved for future assets. However, Brière’s comments shed light on why the Flyers held onto the big right-shot defenseman and what it means for the team’s plans moving forward. Briere also speaks on other moves the Flyers made, including Bobby Brink for David Jiricek, Deslauries to the Carolina Hurricanes, and more.

The Philadelphia Flyers have already made a couple of trades, one sending Bobby Brink to his hometown Minnesota Wild in exchange for 2022 sixth overall pick, defenseman David Jiricek. Danny Briere also made an AHL move, exchanging Massimo Rizzo and Alexis Gendron for Boston’s Brett Harrison and Jackson Edward.

Now, all attention shifts to if Briere can get his asking price for Rasmus Ristolainen, and if marginal pieces like Nic Deslauriers and/or Carl Grundstrom can fetch any sort of return.

Charlie, Bill & Steve react live to the NHL Trade Deadline breaking down all the moves the Flyers make… or don’t!
