PHLY Philadelphia Flyers Podcast

For the first time since the 2020 bubble, the Philadelphia Flyers are in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and will play in front of real crowds home and away post-game 82 for the first time since 2018.

How did the Philadelphia Flyers get here after finishing 4th worst in hockey a year ago, losing all but 3 of 15 heading into the Olympic break, and the season-long drama between head coach Rick Tocchet and sophomore winger Matvei Michkov? Charlie & Bill look back on the regular season and discuss how it was Tocchet and Michkov together who led this team out of their January slump and into the postseason.

Plus, a look at Porter Martone, Dan Vladar, and revisiting our preseason predictions.

What a night for Flyers youngsters! With most of the team’s veterans resting for the season finale vs Canadiens in preparation of their Stanley Cup Playoff series against the Pittsburgh Penguins, it was the U24 crew that showed up big. Matvei Michkov scored his 20th goal of the season and led the way with 3 points, while Porter Martone added 1G, 1A, Oliver Bonk recorded his first goal and first assist in his NHL debut, and the oldest Flyer to record a point was Hunter McDonald, also making his NHL debut.

Charlie, Kelly & Bill break down the regular season closing win, and discuss how the FUTURE IS NOW for Philadelphia’s hockey team.

The Philadelphia Flyers fell behind 2-0 in the first period, but Matvei Michkov and Trevor Zegras tied it in the second, and that score held for about 35 minutes, and we got our third shootout against the Canes this year (all 4 meetings went to OT).

Zegras was stoned for his third time in three attempts, and second straight in the shootout vs. Bussi, as were Michkov (who also failed on an OT breakaway) and Konecny, but it was Tyson Foerster in round 4 who finally beat Bussi while Vladar made all 4 saves to SEND THE PHILADELPHIA FLYERS TO THE PLAYOFFS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2020!

The Philadelphia Flyers just have to take care of their own business and they’ll be in the 2025-26 Stanley Cup Playoffs. They did exactly that on Saturday night, blowing out the Jets in Winnipeg to maintain their lead in the Metro division race. Travis Konecny and Porter Martone got the party started, while Matvei Michkov and Sean Couturier backed up their example, pushing the Orange & Black’s playoff chances to well within reach in the final two games of the regular season. Charlie & Bill break down the Flyers win, discussing Dan Vladar, as well as the contributions from both long-tenured vets and youngsters alike.

The Philadelphia Flyers continue adding to the center depth, having signed 2024 2nd round pick Jack Berglund to an entry-level contract on Thursday, one day before turning 20 years old, that starts in 2026-27. The 6-4 Swede captained his World Junior Championship team to a gold medal at this year’s tournament, and now looks to make an impact with the Flyers’ organization after playing in the SHL. 

Could Berglund challenge for an NHL roster spot in the fall? Charlie and Bill discuss both Berglund, and who could be joining him in the competition at next year’s camps.
