PHLY Philadelphia Flyers Podcast

David Jiricek hasn’t played for the Philadelphia Flyers since October 19 vs. the Colorado Avalanche. He’s been a healthy scratch for 6 straight games (as of this recording) and Simon Benoit has taken over the 6th d-man role.

Charlie & Bill answer a mailbag question about the potential risk/reward of waiving David Jiricek to get him playing time in the AHL, with the added benefit of recalling Hunter McDonald, who could take Benoit’s place on the 3rd pair.

The Philadelphia Flyers must have felt good through 40 minutes, holding a 2-1 lead over a New York Rangers team that hadn’t registered a come-from-behind win yet this season. Unfortunately, that trend came to an end thanks to a pair of 3rd period goals, both assisted by Adam Fox, and Philly dropped the first of their five-game road trip.
Bill, Steve & Charlie break down the Flyers’ 10th regulation loss through 18 games, discussing another slow start to a game, Matvei Michkov’s usage, more missed shots, and more!

The Philadelphia Flyers are 4-9-4, dead last in the Eastern Conference and heading on a 5-game road trip. After last night’s loss to Minnesota that saw Philly fall behind 3-0 before the 21-minute mark, Travis Konecny said “it’s unacceptable.” But how often do we hear that word? And still, everyone seems fairly comfortable.
Today, Charlie & Bill debate the meaning of “unacceptable,” and open up the mailbag to PHLY DIEHARDS to submit questions ranging from Matvei Michkov’s ceiling, to personal anecdotes of yelling at officials following Trevor Zegras’ 10-minute misconduct on Tuesday.

The Philadelphia Flyers fell behind by 2 after a couple terrible shifts early in the second and trailed by 3 less than 21 minutes into the game. But goals by Tyson Foerster and Denver Barkey (his first!) had the Orange & Black poised to erase another three-goal deficit, but it was not to be.
Bill, Charlie & Ryan break down the loss, discussing the Flyers’ missed opportunities, suddenly dangerous power play, and how deep a hole Philly has dug itself, despite improved play recently.

We’ve got some catching up to do with the Philadelphia Flyers! After last night’s 6-3 win over the Utah Mammoth, they still find themselves as the only team with a sub-.400 points-percentage in the Eastern Conference, and tied for the most games played, meaning they have a lot of ground to gain, and less time than any other team to do it.
Today, Charlie & Bill talk about the returns of Travis Konecny and Owen Tippett, necessitating other young players being sent back to the AHL, as well as re-visiting last week’s conversation regarding Nick Seeler, Rick Tocchet and Matvei Michkov. Plus, a look at the newly released Hometown Remix jerseys, and Nikita Kucherov’s trade request out of Tampa Bay.
