The puck dropped on the NHL season on October 7th. One month later, the Philadelphia Flyers are in an Eastern Conference playoff spot! Dan Vladar has been mostly very good, Trevor Zegras looks like a star, Cam York, Noah Cates, Bobby Brink and Tyson Foerster (prior to the injury) all look like they’re taking steps in their careers, and pretty much all is well for Rick Tocchet’s squad. Except for the Matvei Michkov of it all. Philly’s sophomore winger is off to a disappointing start.Today, Charlie & Bill discuss how the Flyers are adapting to Rick Tocchet’s style, how they can generate more shots on goal, the successes of Danny Briere’s summer moves, and what we’ve seen from Michkov, positive and negative.

Trevor Zegras has been a revelation to start his first season in Philadelphia, leading the team in assists, points and power play points through the team’s first 13 games.

What a wild freakin’ game. The Philadelphia Flyers opened up a 3-0 lead in the first period, getting 2 points from Bobby Brink, Trevor Zegras and Cam York.

What a slog of a game. After a 3-shot first period for the Philadelphia Flyers, things didn’t get much better over the following 40 minutes, and the Flyers dropped a home game to the NHL’s last place Calgary Flames.Jonathan Huberdeau scored twice for the Flames, and Dustin Wolf was up to the task on the few occasions the Flyers got anything through to him, as Matvei Michkov, Owen Tippett and basically every other forward was invisible for pretty much the entire game.Bill, Steve & Charlie break down the loss and discuss what Rick Tocchet can do to jumpstart this team’s scoring.

The Philadelphia Flyers came out on fire early in the first period, putting a ton of pressure on the Ottawa Senators in the opening minutes, including Tyson Foerster beating Linus Ullmark 29 seconds after puck drop to put the Flyguys up 1-0. But the Sens were able to turn momentum after the Flyers’ fast start and Olle Lycksell scoring against his former employer 3 minutes into the second was enough to give Ottawa a 2-1 lead through 40, despite Dan Vladar’s best efforts. The Flyers had a chance early and late in this game, but just couldn’t muster enough quality scoring chances to support another strong game from Vladar. Charlie & Bill break down the loss, discussing the Flyers goaltending, penchant for taking penalties, and all of Matvei Michkov’s scoring chances. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
