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. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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.

The Philadelphia Flyers just could not overcome a special teams deficit on Thursday night in Detroit, giving up three power play goals as well as a short-handed goal in their loss to a desperate Red Wings squad.
Porter Martone showed up, scoring and picking up a primary assist in front of his Michigan State teammates in the crowd, but there weren’t many other bright spots for Philly, outside of the Buffalo Sabres beating the Columbus Blue Jackets in regulation to ensure the Orange & Black hold their playoff spot for another day.
Charlie & Bill discuss the playoff implications of this loss, as well as Dan Vladar getting pulled for Sam Ersson, Travis Konecny’s disappearing act, and much more.

With four games left the Philadelphia Flyers hold a one point lead in the Metropolitan Division playoff race, and are so close to ending a five season Stanley Cup Playoff drought, tied for the franchise record.
There have been standout performances by Trevor Zegras, Dan Vladar, Owen Tippett and many others to bring the Orange & Black this close to the postseason, but overseeing it all has been Rick Tocchet. How much credit does the head coach deserve for turning around a team that finished 4th worst in the NHL a season ago? Bill & Charlie discuss Tocchet’s impact, as well as the integration of rookies Alex Bump, Porter Martone and Denver Barkey into the lineup. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Philadelphia Flyers needed a win to create some breathing room in the Metropolitan Division standings, and they got exactly that, thanks to big games from Trevor Zegras, Tyson Foerster and Matvei Michkov.

The Philadelphia Flyers are currently in a playoff spot! Occupying the third seed in the Metropolitan Division with five games to go, the Orange & Black “control their destiny” with a one-point lead and a game in-hand on the New York Islanders thanks to clutch performances from an infusion of young talent, headlined by Porter Martone.
Bill & Charlie take a look at how the Flyers have fought back into the postseason mix after their disastrous January, and the efforts of young players, as well as key vets like Sean Couturier and Christian Dvorak contributing to this comeback.

The Philadelphia Flyers needed just one point to lay claim to the third seed in the Metropolitan Division, and they got that, taking a 1-1 tie into overtime. And then, the much-maligned referees called back-to-back OT penalties to set the Flyers up with a 5v3, allowing Porter Martone to score his first goal and win it!
Bill, Steve and Charlie break down the win, discussing Martone’s heroics, Dan Vladar’s day, and much more! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
With new additions like Porter Martone, Denver Barkey, and Alex Bump for the Philadelphia Flyers, GM Danny Briere suddenly has his hands full with young, promising talent to pair with Russian phenom Matvei Michkov – who added a goal and 2 assists to his impressive resume against Ilya Sorokin and the New York Islanders.
As these prospects have played in meaningful, playoff-type, championship-level games in their development, Michkov really hasn't due to Russia's KHL rules, thus questioning how much impact and experience Matvei Michkov has in these types of high-pressure situations and preparing for the NHL's Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Bill and Charlie of the PHLY Flyers Podcast discuss the Mad Russian's impact for a young Flyers team, and how this important stretch of this season will not only mean a lot for the team, but for Michkov's offseason as the Flyers fight in the Eastern Conference and Metropolitan Division.

The Philadelphia Flyers certainly looked like the better team on Thursday night, outshooting Detroit 34-19, and the two most recent additions to the lineup, returning Tyson Foerster and home debuting Porter Martone, certainly did their part, but John Gibson and Patrick Kane teamed up to break the hearts of the Philly faithful.

The Philadelphia Flyers had a great opportunity to move up in the Stanley Cup Playoff race, with the Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings each losing in regulation tonight.

What a weekend for the Philadelphia Flyers!

1After Michigan State was eliminated from the NCAA Tournament on Saturday, it was a matter of time before freshman Porter Martone signed with the Philadelphia Flyers, setting up the 2025 sixth overall pick’s NHL debut.

Charlie O'Connor was in Voorhees as the Flyers returned to practice after their disappointing 3-2 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on home ice amid the Eastern Conference playoff race in the NHL. Rick Tocchet revealed today that Nikita Grebenkin is dealing with an upper-body injury and getting tests done to determine the severity – meaning he's doubtful vs the Chicago Blackhawks. Meanwhile, Emil Andrae is expected to return to the lineup—can his presence give the team a much-needed boost? With the playoff race tightening, the Flyers’ chances are looking increasingly slim. Charlie breaks down the latest roster updates, injury concerns, and what needs to happen (if anything) for a late push.

I understand that Stef always wants to be part of the show and good for her, but maybe scale it back a little bit. I listen to every episode and this isn't the first time she annoyed me but this one made me comment. Stef, stay on the show if you want but take more of a sidekick role, it will be better for the show.
