PHLY Philadelphia Flyers Podcast

After figuring out the countdown to Philadelphia Flyers opening night was wrong yesterday, we’re dedicating most of F-Around Friday to numbers 52-55 so that when we come back on Monday and there are, officially, 51 days before the puck drops on Flyers vs. Penguins on September 30th, we’re all caught up. Rasmus Ristolainen, Chris Gratton, Shayne Gostisbehere and some lesser-knowns like Pavel Brendl and Brian Wesenberg (shoutout 1998 Calder Cup Champions!) will be up for discussion.

We’ll also take a look at Nikita Grebenkin’s shiny new 2-year deal, and have some fun with Response Rewind, as well. HAPPY FRIDAY!

We’ve got 56 days until the Philadelphia Flyers regular season opener, which means we’re talking about the greatest players to wear #56 in franchise history! While Claude Giroux’s emergency call-up in 2008 is the obvious answer, one of Bill’s favorite players of the this lost decade also appeared in the number.

We’re also discussing an Inquirer article which poses five questions entering 2026-27 (like why aren't Nikita Grebenkin and Hunter McDonald signed yet), as well as the funniest responses to yesterday’s Patrik Laine segment, and who the hell did the Pittsburgh Penguins just signed to an 8-year deal?

With 57 days until the Flyers opening night game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, we’re taking a look at the number 57! And with only one player, Wade Allison, having worn #57 in franchise history, we’re expanding our parameters for today’s countdown.

We’re also taking a look at SportsNet’s offseason grades for the Metropolitan division, reacting to a non-rumor about Patrik Laine, and more!

With 58 days until the puck drops on Flyers/Penguins on September 30th, we’re diving into the 3 players in franchise history to wear #58- Bill Armstrong (not THAT Bill Armstrong), Taylor Leier, and Tanner Laczynski. Then, we’ve got some Response Rewind posts from yesterday regarding Alexander Nikishin, Jack Nesbitt, and Carter Amico. And with Broad Street Hockey’s Top 25 Under 25 running, this seems like a good time to check in on prospect Jack Murtagh.

With 59 days until opening night, today we look back at Mark Friedman, one of the more interesting rarely-used players of the early 2020s, and ask Charlie the question, why did his teammates hate him so much?

Then we get into The Athletic’s efficiency rankings, rating each team’s cap situation and the contracts they’ve signed their core pieces to. How does Danny Briere rank, league-wide?
