The Philadelphia Flyers scored first for the first time in ten games, and opened up a 3-0 lead by the time 22 minutes had elapsed, on goals from Tyson Foerster, Sean Couturier and Trevor Zegras.

This was as low-event as a game could be in terms of highlights. Nic Deslauriers’ first period fight was the only thing that registered as a Philadelphia “highlight” in the opening 40 minutes. Sam Ersson battled through a sleepy game with a solid-enough outing against the Lightning, but with no help from Trevor Zegras, Matvei Michkov or Tyson Foerster, this was one of those games that brings Orange & Black expectations down to earth.Charlie & Bill break down the loss, and Rick Tocchet’s options to try to get this team scoring more consistently.

It has been a little while since our last mailbag episode, and with the full gang in studio today, we’re answering YOUR QUESTIONS! Many of them dealt with the same subject- which wingers (Owen Tippett, Porter Martone, Bobby Brink, Travis Konecny, etc) should be traded to either make room for Alex Bump, Denver Barkey and the next wave of LWs & RWs, or to add the help they need at both center and defense.Other questions ask for updates on Jett Luchanko, Jack Nesbitt and other Flyers prospects, while others are just funny.

When healthy, Tyson Foerster, Bobby Brink and Noah Cates have basically been inseparable as a line for the better part of a calendar year. And for good reason- they’ve been amongst the Flyers’ most consistent producers from when John Tortorella put them together through the beginning of Rick Tocchet’s tenure.Now slumping, however, Charlie & Bill discuss whether it is time to break the trio up, and look for one or more of them to play alongside other teammates. Is Foerster the perfect complement to Matvei Michkov? Could Brink get more offensive opportunities with Travis Konecny?Plus, we talk Adam Ginning’s conditioning stint with the Phantoms, Alex Bump’s likelihood to get promoted to the Philadelphia Flyers, and more!

The Philadelphia Flyers had a split weekend, putting on one hell of a show in their shootout win over the St. Louis Blues, and then looking completely out-classed in their loss to the Dallas Stars. Coming out of the 2-game trip, the Flyers won’t play again until Thursday, meaning we’ll have time to get into some odds and ends with this team, starting with a minor (?) trade Danny Briere made with the Ottawa Senators to swap Dennis Gilbert for an unsigned RFA Maxence Guenette.Charlie & Bill will also discuss Christian Dvorak, and his linemates Owen Tippett and Trevor Zegras, the goalie situation, and, of course, Matvei Michkov.

The Philadelphia Flyers were thoroughly outclassed for much of the first two periods of the game, but Dan Vladar continuing his early-season Vezina chase, and Matvei Michkov scoring on the power play gave the Orange & Black a chance and it seemed like Travis Konecny won it but an offside review took away the winner and Edmonton netted the winner in OT.Bill, Kelly & Charlie break down the loss, Michkov’s resurgence, Vladar’s hard luck loss and more.

All the talk on social media this weekend was about the perceived criticism by Philadelphia Flyers captain Sean Couturier directed towards Matvei Michkov in Saturday’s postgame scrum. Coots mentioned Michkov “playing the right way” and it benefitting the team, seemingly complimenting the 20-year-old sophomore, but many Flyers fans took it as a shot at the franchise’s future cornerstone.Charlie & Bill break down the controversy, playing clips from Coots, Michkov and head coach Rick Tocchet, and discuss the dynamics of the Philly locker room.Depending on how long all that takes we may also get into the goaltending, Trevor Zegras, Emil Andrae, and who knows what else.
