We’re opening up the MAILBAG on today’s show, discussing potential trade targets for Danny Briere’s Philadelphia Flyers, as the need for a 1C is at the top of many fans’ minds. Should they go the reclamation route with Elias Pettersson, reuniting him with Rick Tocchet, or perhaps pay a lot more for Robert Thomas from the Blues?Bill & Kelly also discuss the defense, what a future “skilled” 4th line could look like, and whether they believe the Orange & Black can still make the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The Philadelphia Flyers faced a big challenge on Monday night, needing to end a 6-game losing streak against a Golden Knights team that had won 7 straight.It was Travis Konecny who came up huge for Philly, converting two breakaways, one shorthanded, for the Flyers’ two goals. The even more unlikely performance came from Sam Ersson, who’d been even worse than his terrible numbers lately, who closed the door on all but one VGK chance.Bill, Steve & Charlie break down the much-needed win, discussing the goaltending, special teams, and more!

The New York Rangers recently released an open letter to their fans declaring this season lost. Then they came into Philadelphia and blew out the Flyers. After Travis Konecny gave the Orange & Black the 1-0 lead, the Rangers scored three goals on their first three shots to chase Aleksei Kolosov before he could make a save, and proceeded to skate circles around the Flyers. Mika Zibanejad scored a hat trick before the game was half over, and Artemi Panarin is still sitting on 2 but will probably score his third after I finish writing this.Bill, Steve and Charlie break down the loss, including the brutal goalie situation, the continued struggles of the special teams, and what this 6-game losing streak means for the rest of the season.

The Philadelphia Flyers went into Buffalo on Wednesday night looking to end a 3-game losing streak.

Dan Vladar faired better than Sam Ersson did two nights ago, but only marginally, as the Philadelphia Flyers were beaten at home for the second straight game by the Tampa Bay Lightning. This game was certainly made more frustrating by the failure of Philly’s special teams, but even more so by how unevenly it was officiated. Not that the refs caused the loss, but it was still ridiculous.Bill, Kelly and Charlie break down the loss, including Trevor Zegras being held without a point for 3 straight games for the first time all season, and whether Rick Tocchet should’ve been more cautious with Vladar in the third period.

Even after firing Rocky Thompson, the Philadelphia Flyers' power play continues to be abysmal, ranking towards the very bottom of the NHL. How can the Flyers fix it? Should they make a trade or fire a coach? Bill Matz thinks it's simple: trade for New Jersey Devil Dougie Hamilton. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Well, the Philadelphia Flyers played the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday night, and through 40 minutes it was kind of interesting. But the combination of a depleted offense, bad puck management, and Sam Ersson caught up to the Orange & Black, who got steamrolled in the third period, leading to a blowout loss. Join Bill Matz, Charlie O'Connor, Steve Jacot and the PHLY Flyers crew as they breakdown all the action from tonight's matchup between the Philadelphia Flyers and Tampa Bay Lightning.

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.
