A mostly uneventful game between the Detroit Red Wings and Philadelphia Flyers lends itself perfectly to a mailbag show!

General manager Danny Briere met with the assembled media on Tuesday morning, and spoke at length about Rasmus Ristolainen, Sam Ersson and the goaltending, and all the rumors ahead of the March 7th Trade Deadline.

Bill answers questions from the mailbag before Charlie joins from the Wells Fargo Center to dissect Flyers/Red Wings.

Matvei Michkov has fallen out of favor over the last few weeks, falling behind Macklin Celebrini, Lane Hutson and even Dustin Wolf in the Calder Trophy race. But a recent hot streak has re-opened the possibility for The Mad Russian to get back into the conversation.

Similarly, the Flyers looked to be trending towards the basement with a 5-10-2 stretch from December 5th through January 9th. But with 4 wins and 9 points in their last 5 games, the Orange & Black are right back in it.

Bill & Charlie discuss both the Calder & playoff races, as well as the decision to call up Rodrigo Ābols after placing Ryan Poehling on IR.

It wasn’t pretty, but the Philadelphia Flyers worked hard to secure a victory over the Devils in New Jersey on Saturday afternoon.

A low event game that only saw 32 shots on goal and over 50 total blocks, the Flyers PK & PP stepped up to beat one of the best teams in the east.

Charlie, Bill & Steve break down the win and look at Philly’s playoff push.

The first period of Thursday’s matchup with the Islanders was marred by a questionable hit that knocked Ryan Poehling out of the game, and the emotions after that put the Flyers at a 1-0 deficit after 20 minutes.

But Philadelphia responded with a 3-goal middle frame, and an 11-6 shot advantage highlighted by some huge setups from Travis Konecny.

The Isles showed life in the 3rd but a Cam York goal stemmed the tide and propelled the Orange & Black to victory.

Charlie & Bill break down the win, and big games for Morgan Frost & Joel Farabee.

John Tortorella and his staff have been behind the Philadelphia Flyers’ bench for 209 games, as of Tuesday night’s matchup with the Columbus Blue Jackets. 

And while the Orange & Black have managed to cycle in some new, young players in that time, much of the lineup has been here for at least a part of Torts’ two-and-a-half seasons. Morgan Frost, Joel Farabee, Rasmus Ristolainen, Cam York and many others need to have decisions made about their future in one way or another soon, and it’s time to start talking about what those decisions could mean for the long term. 

Charlie & Bill discuss potential trades & re-signings with the Trade Deadline approaching. Plus, Charlie & Bill reveal their Quarter-Century Teams!

The Philadelphia Flyers hadn’t won more than 2 straight games since the end of November, and that streak continues after a shootout loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Looking for only their second win in the backend of a back-to-back this season, Bobby Brink and Owen Tippett lit the lamp for the Orange and Black in a surprisingly low-scoring game while Zach Werenski put 2 pucks behind Ivan Fedotov.

Charlie & Bill break down the shootout loss, the continued strong play of Noah Cates, and John Tortorella’s pending decisions on the lineup and goaltending.

Despite a rough first period that saw the Philadelphia Flyers fall 2-0 after 20 minutes, the Orange & Black defeated the Florida Panthers 4-3 for their second straight win.

The Philly power play scored twice, as did Noah Cates, to fuel the big victory.

Charlie, Kelly & Bill break down the win, and whether players like Morgan Frost & Matvei Michkov can continue to ride this momentum.

Cutter Gauthier makes his unsuccessful return to Philadelphia as Travis Konecny, Jamie Drysdale and the Philadelphia Flyers snap a four game losing streak, beat the Ducks 6-0, as the fans look to welcome back Gauthier by raining down the boo's.

Despite showing signs of life in the 3rd period, the Philadelphia Flyers lost their fourth straight game to open 2025, falling to the Dallas Stars on Thursday night at the Wells Fargo Center.

The Stars jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first and never looked back, as the Orange & Black put up little fight in the first 40 minutes of Ed Snider Legacy night.

Bill & Steve break down the loss, evaluate Sam Ersson’s return from injury, and discuss if this is a sign of what’s to come in the second half.

The Philadelphia Flyers played their 41st game of the season on Tuesday night, marking the end of the first half of the 2024-25 season.

Travis Konecny is on pace for 41 goals, Matvei Michkov has flashed greatness and the goaltenders have been the worst in the league.

Charlie, Kelly & Bill share their grades, biggest surprises and disappointments from the first half, as well as discuss John Tortorella’s role in The Mad Russian’s development.

Oh, and it’s also the anniversary of the Cutter Gauthier for Jamie Drysdale (and a 2nd!) trade.

It came down to some late heroics by Joseph Woll but Toronto was able to hold on for the regulation win in the Flyers first game back in Philly since December 21.

Travis Konecny scored twice to give him six career 20-goal seasons but ultimately it wasn’t enough.

Kelly & Bill break down the loss and discuss the first half of the Flyers season.
