How The Flyers Continue To Progress (PST Episode 651)

The Philadelphia Flyers continue to progress during their rebuild as the season moves along. There are strengths and there are certainly weaknesses on this team. The week, the guys assess the Flyers’ approach to coaching, the power play, offensive attack and more. Ryan Gilbert from BroadStreetHockey.com joined us this week for a deep dive into this team, its coaching, and the positives we’re seeing this season. It was a fantastic conversation!

But first, the guys had their Eagles season postmortem as a new offensive coordinator will be hired for the 2026 season. Plus, which free agents should stay, which should go? And the guys gave their Super Bowl team picks. (Approx. 5:35)

From there, they got into a discussion about whether or not the Sixers could actually make it to the Eastern Conference Finals this season based off the Opposition Territory podcast discussion from this week. (Approx. 23:10)

Then they talked about how the Phillies are serious about acquiring Bo Bichette and what that will mean for the team moving forward should it happen. (Approx. 30:55)

The guys then got into some Listener Feedback about how Erik is now watching the Flyers. (Approx. 34:10)

What they threw down on the Table this week was a great and in-depth conversation with Ryan Gilbert from Broad Street Hockey about the direction of this Flyers team as we’re in mid-January. Assessing Rick Tocchet’s coaching approach. What is the identity of this team? A deep discussion about Matvei Michkov’s sophomore season. Positive aspects of this team we can cling onto.
