Broad Street Hockey: For Philadelphia Flyers Fans

The St. Louis Blues had a pretty quiet summer and, thus far, a pretty uninteresting season. A few injuries, some underperforming players, and some questions in goal is about all they've got going. Laura Astorian of St. Louis Game Time shared the finer points of what we should expect from the Blues tonight. Learn more about your ad choices.

You know it was a bad weekend in Philly sports when the highlight is that a man ate a rotisserie chicken for the 40 straight day. Steve and Quigz discuss the chickenman, the Boston Bruins sneakily trying (and failing) to bring in Mitchell Miller, Carter Hart's continued dominance, and Rasmus Ristolainen's tough start with Philadelphia Flyers head coach John Tortorella.

We're heading into the first game against Claude Giroux since he was traded last season and man, that's going to be weird. The Flyers will first meet G in his new house in Ottawa and in precisely one week, he'll be coming back to Philly. That'll be a fun game. Nate from Silver Seven Sens filled us in on what has been happening in Ottawa outside of the Giroux acquisition and gets us ready for what we're going to see when the boys hit the ice.

If you pay any attention to the Toronto sports media, you might think the Maple Leafs are a disaster beyond remedy, not the .500 hockey team filled with superstars off to a bit of a slow start. The team is loaded up front but is that enough to overcome a very questionable situation in goal? Jeff Veillette of CanadaSportsBetting.ca gave us the inside scoop on what's been going on in Toronto that has Leafs fans so worked up. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Carolina Hurricanes are off to a predictably good start after an offseason that saw quite a bit of addition and subtraction on the roster.

How are they winning? Why are they winning? Is this sustainable? Where the hell is all of this going? Sometimes we just have to throw up our hands and see how things play out. The Philadelphia Flyers were outshot 51-22 in their 4-3 win over the Florida Panthers on Thursday night. Despite getting off to a 5-2-0 start, Philly has been outshot, on average, by a count of 36-27. But a combination of Carter Hart's dominance, some great execution in few offensive zone chances, and a little bit of luck (maybe more than a little bit) have this team sitting atop the Metropolitan division with 10 points in the standings, trailing only the Boston Bruins (14 points) for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. Is this good for the long-term health of the organization? Not if the goal is to ultimately acquire top-end talent, which seems only possible via high lottery picks. But after years of embarrassing losses and unwatchable hockey, it's hard to say watching them win, even in a completely unsustainable way, isn't at leas

The good times were bound to come to an end at a certain point, and it all came crashing down on Wednesday night. The Phillies lost game 2 of the NLCS to the Padres and the Philadelphia Flyers' 3-game winning streak to the season concluded with a 5-4 loss to the Florida Panthers. Felix Sandstrom's first start of 2022-23 was eventful, but ultimately unsuccessful as he allowed 4 goals on 35 shots, and Sergei Bobrovsky earned a win over his former team, despite allowing goals to Nick Seeler, James van Riemsdyk, and Travis Konecny. Konecny's tally in the final seconds was ultimately meaningless (unless you bet the total or the puckline), but he did beat Bob in the first period on a goal that was ultimately negated by an offside challenge. The Flyers looked overmatched for much of the game but were actually somewhat strong in the third period, and showed the tenacity and resilience that has often lacked in the past. Still, a backup goalie and very few really good players aren't a great mix against the defending Pr

It was a very big summer for the Florida Panthers with big-name players and coaches moving out, and new big-name players and new coaches moving in. This is a team with a lot of talent but it's also a team with a lot to figure out, and Todd Little of Litter Box Cats was kind enough to break it all down for us. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Philadelphia Flyers are 3-0-0. The Philadelphia Phillies have a 1-0 series lead in the NLCS. The Philadelphia Eagles are 6-0. WTF is going on? Seriously. I don't know how to handle all these... good feelings. Following the Orange and Black's 3-2 win over the 3-peat Eastern Conference Champion Tampa Bay Lightning, and after allowing enough time for everyone to catch the end of the Phillies game, Bill Matz speaks to Flyers fans about the surprisingly hot start, Carter Hart's dominance, Noah Cates' rise to prominence, and more! Listen to the postgame! Oh and there were two fights, too! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Welp, we were all wrong. As it turns out, Chuck Fletcher built an offensive juggernaut and we all owe him an apology. LOL. Listen, it's just one game, and ultimately it does behoove this franchise to be as bad as we thought they were going to be if they ever want to draft and develop their own high end talent. But after two years of misery watching the Philadelphia Flyers, it was nice for just one night to enjoy a decisive victory and good vibes down at the Wells Fargo Center. In the 2022-23 season opening postgame show, Bill Matz (me!) is joined by Kelly Hinkle, Steph Driver and Steve Jacot, plus the full cast of regular callers and a few newbies, to celebrate Philly's 5-2 win over the New Jersey Devils in John Tortorella's inaugural game as the Flyers' head coach. Plus, a few thoughts on Travis Sanheim's 8-year contract extension. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices Learn more about your ad choices.
