two D. We got Flyers Devils on the screen, Flyers

up for one early on in the third period. Here,
5
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:17.600
we're also going to talk a little Porter Martoon and
6
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:20.120
we'll just see where the conversation takes us. Flyers currently
7
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:22.640
in the playoff spot. They can give themselves a little
8
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:24.879
bit of a cushion with the victory here tonight. So
9
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:27.160
make sure you hit that like, hit that subscribe, get
10
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:29.559
in the chat, let's talk about it. It's time to
11
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:31.559
drop the puck. Let's get this conversation rolling.
12
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:56.759
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen to a brand new edition of
13
00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.280
Flyers Talk a two D right here on a two
14
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:02.920
D radio dot com. I am Mattson Suty along with
15
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:05.239
the Dark Wing Brian Daly.
16
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:08.680
What's up? Did that interesting off to anybody else? Or
17
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:09.159
is it just me?
18
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:10.879
I don't know?
19
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:12.200
Did this the amount of sink?
20
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:16.400
Was it? I didn't really notice, but maybe I could,
21
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:24.680
and it wouldn't be the first time. But here along
22
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:28.040
with that, we also have the broken one Robovia.
23
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:30.599
Well, I'm definitely out of sink. But I'm glad to
24
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:31.200
be back though.
25
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:35.760
We are glad to have you back, brother. You were missed, yes,
26
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.200
and we are brought to you by Specialized of Physical Therapy,
27
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:43.640
the Doc, doctor Paul Videll. If you got any eggs
28
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.040
and pains that have been bugging you and you really
29
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:48.719
need to get it taken care of, do not waste time.
30
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:52.760
Go hit up the doc either at Burlington or Cherry Hill,
31
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:56.439
New Jersey. Make an appointment at www dot Specialized Physical
32
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:59.840
Therapy dot com. After a couple of visits with them,
33
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:01.799
you'll feel as good as new and you'll be back
34
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:03.760
to doing the things you love to do and not
35
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:06.719
being in pain while you do it. Isn't that a
36
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:11.560
beautiful thing? And the poll question for today is it's
37
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.599
crucial for the Flyers to handle their own business in
38
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:17.919
the last five games of the regular season to maintain
39
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.919
their playoff spot. Agree or disagree? I mean this does
40
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:23.479
seem like a pretty slam dunk on of question here.
41
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:25.919
As always, when you get down to the nitty gritty.
42
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:28.439
Here at the very end of the regular season, in
43
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:32.240
a very tight playoff race with several teams trying to
44
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:36.120
vie for only a couple of spots, You'll want to
45
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:39.879
control your destiny big time here. Luckily, the Flyers do
46
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:42.520
have games in hand on several of those teams, so
47
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:45.919
that definitely is a plus, But you don't want to
48
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.479
necessarily have to rely on that. So I think it's
49
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:51.800
pretty obvious for me. I'm going to agree to that poll.
50
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.080
But gentlemen, how do you feel on this?
51
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:55.360
Do you agree?
52
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:57.680
Do you think that the Flyers need to handle their
53
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:01.080
business in these last five games or do you disagree?
54
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:03.360
Do you feel like there's a couple things that are
55
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:07.199
going in the flyers favor that if a slip happens
56
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.039
here or there, they'll still be Okay, I'm not.
57
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:13.159
Jump in real quick. Yeah, it's been a minute on
58
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:17.520
me even to go. I agree with the poll, but
59
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.759
I kind of disagree with Maddie there a little bit.
60
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:23.960
Despite the games in hand, this team is really low
61
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:28.360
in terms of regulation wins, and that comes in a
62
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.960
key factor and it's an important tiebreaker. And they sit
63
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.599
at twenty four coming into tonight, which is at least three,
64
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.479
if not further down from the rest of their competition.
65
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:42.000
Would really greatly help their calls to get more regulation
66
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.639
wins in these last five wins, so you don't win
67
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.719
all these games only to lose out on a tiebreaker.
68
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:52.039
Winning in regulation, for me takes care of business boys,
69
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.520
and so far, so good looking tonight. I love the
70
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:58.719
shot in the arm that this team has gotten with
71
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.680
Porter Martone, as we'll talk about later on in the show.
72
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:04.840
But Tyson Forrester has been a real shot of life
73
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:07.719
for this team too, coming back when once thought being
74
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:10.919
done for the season. Two goals tonight, along with Ziegras
75
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.159
two goals, things are flying pretty high right now. I
76
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.040
said a few weeks ago that this was a wonderful
77
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:21.120
opportunity to to see what this team response would be
78
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:24.000
being on the outside looking in a gut check time.
79
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:27.360
And you've seen what this current roster has gotten. You've
80
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.759
seen what the future holds, and it's looking pretty good.
81
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.800
Gentlemen, and Robbie, thank you for jumping in. I was
82
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:39.040
throwing it right to you, brother, But yeah, I mean,
83
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:41.959
I agree, it's it's it's an agree. I think this is,
84
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:44.040
like I said a PPRE show, I think this is
85
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:47.079
a slam dunk. You know, they have to handle their business. Obviously,
86
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:48.839
you want to try and get more in regulation. You
87
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:50.839
don't want to give anybody an opportunity to try and
88
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:53.040
gain a point on you, you want to try and
89
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:54.920
get as many as you possibly can, like John Wassan
90
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:57.600
and is one need three of the next five to six.
91
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:01.720
H You know, you just got to handle your own business.
92
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:03.560
You gotta hope that the other team's kind of falter.
93
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:05.600
They've gotten a lot of luck to fall their way
94
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:08.920
with especially with the Islanders, and the Senators have got
95
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.920
to have lost their last couple. Islanders actually just changed
96
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.279
their head coach because of the streak that they've been on,
97
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:17.879
So you know, they gotta they're gonna figure there they're
98
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:20.079
en out. So if the Flyers can get a little
99
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:22.639
bit of a cushion here tonight by gaining two points
100
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.399
and being three up on the Islanders, gives them a
101
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:28.480
little cushion, gives them a little something to build off of.
102
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:30.959
So if they do lose one of the next two,
103
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:33.439
you know, it's it's not that big of a deal.
104
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:35.439
But yeah, they got to get these wins. In regulation,
105
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:37.720
you got to handle their business and regulation.
106
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:42.759
Absolutely, and so right now as it stands here in
107
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:44.839
the third period, about eleven fifty six left to go,
108
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.839
they are handling it four to one. Right now against
109
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:51.959
the Devils. So they've been playing real well tonight, Trevor
110
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:56.160
zieger Z himself getting two goals on the board, and
111
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:59.279
then also Tyson Forrester. As you were saying, Robbie, he
112
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:03.399
hasn't missed a had that injury. That was just awful
113
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:06.120
to see after he was just starting to get everything going.
114
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:09.439
And man, he's come back from that injury and he's
115
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:11.519
been like a house of fires since he's come back.
116
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:13.759
He's like, uh ah, I may have had most of
117
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.120
the season robed for me, but I'm making a difference now.
118
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.040
Got to give the kid props for that, just stepping
119
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:22.279
right back in and saying, m you're gonna you're gonna
120
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:25.079
see why I was missed and gotta love that.
121
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:27.560
Yeah, And and to kind of build off what you're
122
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:30.319
saying here, Maddie, you know, it goes to show you
123
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.000
how different this team could have looked if he didn't
124
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:35.399
miss any of that time. Because he's playing like he didn't.
125
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:37.600
He's playing like he hasn't missed any like he's got
126
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:40.680
I'm pretty sure he's got what goals in two of
127
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:44.720
his last three, he's I'm pretty sure he has points
128
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:46.839
in all three since he's been back. Imagine if this
129
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:49.399
cat didn't miss any time, like, imagine where this team
130
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:53.199
could could potentially have been. So it's he's this team's
131
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:54.839
rolling on all cylinders right now. He just got to
132
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:56.600
get the power play going a little more consistently.
133
00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:01.160
Yeah, Rights broadcast. The ESPN broadcasters said, this guy looks
134
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:04.759
the part of a thirty five goal scorer in this league.
135
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:07.680
And it's true if you look at putting up goals
136
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.439
twelve and thirteen on the season and only twenty five
137
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:12.360
games played. M h.
138
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:17.600
Yeah, absolutely, Benny's saying, I think it's safe to say
139
00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:20.240
with Tyson in this lineup most of the year, there
140
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:24.240
are a two seed in the Metro And yeah, I
141
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:27.920
could agree with that. And PRIs sorry to hear about that, brother,
142
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:30.079
Sorry man, that that happened to you.
143
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:34.399
So that's the worst, Yeah, the worst, man, go and
144
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:36.720
through all that. But you'll get through it, man. That's
145
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:38.399
why fraud protection, baby.
146
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:42.959
Love to do everything through your phone. So it wasn't
147
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:45.199
too too difficult for you there. PRIs right.
148
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:48.600
You don't have to call every single now, like whatever
149
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:50.120
card holder you have and be like, hey, can you
150
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.319
can't can you cancel this card? Can cancel that one,
151
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:54.920
you know, so you know, at least you don't have
152
00:07:54.959 --> 00:08:00.879
to do that anyway. So yet still four one right now,
153
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.399
Flyers and Devils, And gotta say, man, we might as
154
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:10.120
well talk about it. Let's let's talk about the young
155
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:16.120
pup baby boy himself, Porter Marton coming in after a
156
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:19.600
few games here with the Flyers. He was looking good
157
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:23.600
and what a moment to have to spark and start
158
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:29.680
your time as a Philadelphia Flyer and gets the OT
159
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:36.799
winner against Boston, Like, man, what a what a moment?
160
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:40.559
What a moment right there. I mean, I'll be honest
161
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:45.000
with you, guys, I can't say that it beat it,
162
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:48.159
but it got pretty close to that, to that OT
163
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:51.240
goal for the gold medal. It got pretty close. I
164
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:53.759
was like, damn, that's such a big moment right there
165
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:57.720
this year. That for us especially, what a win for
166
00:08:57.759 --> 00:08:59.840
the Flyers, and what a moment for Porter Martine with
167
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:03.120
his first ever goal in the league being an OT winner.
168
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:06.080
I mean, for Buyers fans, absolutely it's going to feel
169
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:09.159
like a golden goal there because it was and it
170
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:12.240
showed it was a big moment, but it didn't. It
171
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:15.639
hasn't looked like a big moment to Porter Martone, playing
172
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:20.960
well above his age on the birth certificate, really playing
173
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:24.679
with you know, a good presence on the NHL level.
174
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:26.919
So that's what I've seen through that these four games.
175
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:29.600
But I mean we've also seen that with Denver Barkie too.
176
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:33.279
Who I mean, he's going to hit a gas bubble here,
177
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:35.200
and you know, I was good to see him back
178
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:39.639
in the line of tonight and contributing. But what's really
179
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:43.519
encouraging is the great job Danny Being Company have done
180
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:47.039
drafting for this team, and the proof is really starting
181
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:49.480
to come in the putting Brian Oah.
182
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:51.600
No, for sure, this kid has been poised since the
183
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:54.879
first period of Game one. You know, he looked a
184
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:57.399
little shaky and obviously, you know he's gonna be his
185
00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:00.679
first first shift, first period in the NHL. If you're not,
186
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:04.840
you're not nervous. I questioned a lot. But since then,
187
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:07.440
the police, the kid has shown his ability to get
188
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:10.279
to front of the net, take division away from the goalie.
189
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:13.399
Ever since that that first period in the first that's
190
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.679
all he's been doing. He's a net front presence. He's
191
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:21.200
been just an absolute stud puppy since since that first period.
192
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:23.799
And the thing that I like about him too, is
193
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:27.480
is he plays an aggressive game. I mean he's bumping guys,
194
00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:30.879
he's sitting guys. You saw that little bump on Nemtch
195
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:32.879
earlier in the game and then gets thrown to the ice.
196
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:35.000
You know, this kid plays with a little bit of
197
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:37.559
grit too, and I like that. So, you know, it
198
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:39.759
sounds seems like he's gonna be like a really full
199
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:43.879
package here, and he's gonna give you everything that you
200
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:45.840
need to out of a power forward. And I think
201
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:49.039
he's going to be the next that's greatest power forward
202
00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:51.600
since Eric Lindross. But I don't know if he'll I
203
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:54.720
don't know if we'll get to that level, but he's
204
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:57.279
definitely gonna be. He's gonna be a really good player
205
00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:58.799
for this fire team for years to come.
206
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:01.840
He has been drawing comparisons to that, so I think
207
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:05.799
that's fair to say and understandably. So, you know, Flyers
208
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.519
haven't had that true power forward since since Lyndross. They've
209
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:13.679
had power forwards, but not like superstar caliber forward, you know.
210
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:17.960
And coming off of fifty plus point performance on the
211
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:23.480
NCAA level helps right and further pads that pedigree. And
212
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:28.200
what's great about both him and Forrest are both really
213
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:32.559
you know, made this push possible for the Flyers when
214
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:35.600
they were on the outside looking in as you know
215
00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:39.679
late as a week and a half ago. Right, is
216
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.200
that this is a team that on the specifically on
217
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.320
the power play, but on the special teams has languish.
218
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:50.879
That's what allowed them to fall off the lofty perch
219
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.200
that they sat about mid season. They were right here
220
00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:56.559
where they sit now, third in the Metropolitan. But that's
221
00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:59.919
when you saw Tyson Forrester go down. Now he's back.
222
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.320
This could breathe new life into a power play and
223
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:05.600
that's what's going to be needed, not only to hold
224
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:08.559
on to this spot, but to eventually do well if
225
00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:11.240
you do hold onto the spot come playoff time.
226
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:15.840
Absolutely, we got the Philly Philly podcast here, chiming in
227
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:18.440
saying Porter has given the Flyers a shot in the
228
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:20.559
arm and hopefully it helps them on the power play
229
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:22.759
going forward, alluding to what you were saying there, Rob,
230
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:26.519
and then also chiming in, Mike Knoble was the team
231
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:28.799
move version of Eric Lynn Tross.
232
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:36.799
So Swoopy left a bunch of comments too. His aren't
233
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:38.840
coming through, Swoopy, I just sent you a message, so
234
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:41.879
if you haven't seen it. Just flip over to the
235
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:44.320
YouTube side. For some reason, your comments aren't coming through.
236
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:47.559
But he's said, what's up boys? You guys are missed,
237
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:51.399
say two teams changing coaches with less than ten games ago,
238
00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:57.360
which is absolutely bonkers. He also says so many Flyers
239
00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:59.600
fans are disappointed when the Flyers passed up A Higgins
240
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:04.120
to take martone. I loved it, Yeah, definitely, definitely loved it.
241
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:07.440
I mean, I think his past couple of games have
242
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:10.679
really spoken spoken out about that. And that said, he
243
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:13.440
continues to say, finally a shoot first guy who loves
244
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.600
to shoot, and we'll shoot lots of goals or score
245
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:18.919
lots of goals over a long time. So, you know,
246
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:20.799
a lot of a lot of good things said that
247
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:22.360
Verry Swoopy. But I think the one thing that I
248
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:24.360
think none of us have said yet, and I think
249
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:26.559
this is is a really good point. Here is his
250
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:29.240
IQ on the ice, and I think we saw a
251
00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:33.200
lot of it to his in his NC double A
252
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:37.200
tenure to Robbie's point where he he was just absolutely unbelievable.
253
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:39.000
He just knows where to go, He just knows what
254
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:41.639
to do with the puck. You know, it's I don't
255
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:46.799
think there's many guests. Well, yep. He if he doesn't
256
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:49.039
have it, he knows where to put himself. If he
257
00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:50.840
does have it, he knows where to dish it or
258
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:53.879
shoot it or whatever have you. You know, he just
259
00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:57.320
he again it goes back to showing his poise in
260
00:13:57.399 --> 00:13:59.919
his as a player, as a young player. In the end,
261
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:04.279
each ota to be as good as he is already. Uh,
262
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:07.720
it just it just speaks. It really shouts a lot
263
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:12.200
of his talent. And how many teams passed up on this.
264
00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:14.799
From the photo of the Flyers right and.
265
00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:17.080
The Flyers at the end of Maddie right, you could
266
00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:19.679
have went Hagens, but that's another smaller center. It's sort
267
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:23.120
of continuing along the trend that started with Fletcher going
268
00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:25.720
into Danny b right instead you go for a six
269
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:28.279
foot three, two hundred and seven pound at this point
270
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:32.679
winger and he's looking to be that strong for presence
271
00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:36.440
and Ziegris has you know, since he's shifted back to center,
272
00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:39.879
Ice has been dynamo. He's been, you know, really better
273
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:43.240
than I expected on the face offs and continues to
274
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:45.919
work on that and grow. But we've seen tonight what
275
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:49.960
he's capable in terms of not only scoring but playmaking ability,
276
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:52.879
and there was a mention of nubes, so I wanted
277
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:55.879
to tie this in that Zegras I think became the
278
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:59.240
fifth most goals in his first year with the Flyers,
279
00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:02.320
and tops on that list, to my surprise was Mike
280
00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:03.480
Canueball with thirty four.
281
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:08.960
Nice nice, good company there to be a part of.
282
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:12.039
And Mitchkoff was on that list last year. So it's
283
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:15.399
a nice trend. Maybe Marton could even top the list
284
00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:18.399
come seven.
285
00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:26.240
Maybe yeah, and he'll so right to break that list.
286
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:28.879
Let's keep that roll, Let's keep that ball rolling. You
287
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:31.000
know how they say ship rolls downhill. Let's let's let
288
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:39.399
that roll downhill, please right, riz Priz also saying Martona
289
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:41.759
alone adds to the power play, but him and Forster
290
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:44.720
back watch this power play catch fire heading into the playoffs.
291
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:47.519
He also says Martone seems to get to the slot
292
00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:52.240
with ease, and uh Swoopy is here saying thanks to you,
293
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:53.279
Briy for.
294
00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:55.000
The suggestion, I got you better.
295
00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:59.519
And welcome Swoopy as always, uh.
296
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:02.759
So comments get read yo absolutely.
297
00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:05.840
And uh Flyers do have a power play now the
298
00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:07.759
Devil's went to the box. The Flyers they kill off
299
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:09.919
a power play not that long ago that I believe
300
00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:13.360
they got called for delay a game and high sticking
301
00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:17.279
was for the devils at this last power play call.
302
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:20.480
Let's see here Swoopy saying, I meant at the time
303
00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:22.840
he was drafted I loved it. I loved it even
304
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:23.360
more now.
305
00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:31.519
Yeah, so sorry, real quick to Prison's point about the
306
00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:33.879
power play. Yeah, if this, if this power play can
307
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:39.039
catch fire going into the playoffs, they they they may
308
00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:41.480
make a little bit of a run. I still don't
309
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:43.799
know how deep they'll go because of how loaded the
310
00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:47.080
Eastern Conferences, but you know, if they can get this
311
00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:49.000
power play going, they can they can easily. I think
312
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:50.759
they can get out of the first round for sure.
313
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:55.840
Yeah, I mean, and obviously not to bury the lead
314
00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:59.960
any further. If the Flyers do hold onto the playoffs spot,
315
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:02.960
which no matter what it seems like for Metro teams,
316
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:07.359
it's top three and that's it, because the wildcard seems
317
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:10.319
to be pretty strongly controlled by the Atlantic Division, which
318
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:14.440
I think was going to happen eventually, you know, as
319
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:17.720
the Senators and the Sabers and the Red Wings were
320
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:21.200
trying to build themselves back up. At some point you
321
00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:23.880
had to figure as the Metro teams were getting older,
322
00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:27.519
those teams were younger and building back up. At some
323
00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:29.720
point the Atlantic Division was going to get that much
324
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:32.200
more harder and they were going to start taking the
325
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:34.400
wildcard spots more often than not. Because it was the
326
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:36.400
flip flop not that long ago where it was three
327
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:38.920
and done for the Atlantic, and it was the two
328
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:41.640
wildcard spots a lot of times were metro teams. So
329
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:44.200
you saw that shift coming eventually.
330
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:48.400
So with that, yeah, with the rise of Buffalo, Montreal
331
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:50.480
and Detroit, Maddy absolutely.
332
00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:53.720
Yeah, And and you know, I'm not hey, you know what,
333
00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:56.039
that just makes it that much harder. But you know what,
334
00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:58.480
that should just make a Metro team that much more hungrier,
335
00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:00.640
and it's an opportunity for the fly to show their
336
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:01.759
hunger right now.
337
00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:01.880
You know.
338
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:07.920
And with that being said, if the Flyers were to
339
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.599
hold on to this third spot, they would be in
340
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:15.079
line to have a rematch with one Sidney Crosby and
341
00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:18.240
his Pittsburgh Penguins, but a much older Sidney Crosby this
342
00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:20.640
go around. Then the last time they faced them, which
343
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:25.039
was twenty eighteen, which the Flyers unfortunately lost in six
344
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:28.920
that was the night that Sean Katurier had a hat trick,
345
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:32.759
and I forget what penguin had a hat trick that night.
346
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:36.799
But either way though, it was a valiant effort from
347
00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:38.960
the Flyers, but they were not on the same level
348
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:43.480
as the Penguins. However, though, gentlemen, I would have to
349
00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:47.440
argue and say, it's much more even now between the
350
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:50.440
Flyers and the Penguins this go around. You know where
351
00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:52.680
the Penguins are not here and the Flyers are here.
352
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:55.440
It's kind it's sort of like, Okay, this is a
353
00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:58.480
bit of a coin toss. This series would be between
354
00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:00.200
these two teams.
355
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:06.079
Be an interesting series. Nonetheless. One thing I will say though,
356
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:10.039
is that if, for instance, the Islanders have something to
357
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:12.200
say or the Columbus Blue Jackets have something to say,
358
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:15.279
and there's so many important games and coming down the stretch,
359
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:17.759
I'm sure we'll look at the Flyers remaining schedule hear
360
00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:20.559
in a bit, but you look at the Ottawa Senators,
361
00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:23.640
who also sit at ninety points, so there's still an
362
00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:26.799
opportunity to if you lose the third spot, you could
363
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:28.960
hang on as a wild card. But then you get
364
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:30.599
into the point that I made at the beginning of
365
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:33.839
the show. The Senators have thirty four regulation wins, the
366
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:36.920
Flyers twenty four, so you're gonna have to beat them
367
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:39.960
in points in order to hold that second wild spot.
368
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:44.000
So your point isn't totally negated there, but there is opportunity.
369
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:46.720
But the bottom line, boys, like the pole says, you
370
00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:51.359
take care of business and in these remaining games, then
371
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:53.640
you're gonna be punching in your ticket.
372
00:19:54.720 --> 00:20:00.640
Absolutely, yep, absolutely so, ma'am. What's going on on, Greg?
373
00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:04.079
And he said absolutely agree to the poll. Need to
374
00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:07.839
keep the pedal down and playing good heading into the playoffs. Absolutely.
375
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:10.279
Very rarely do you see a cold team going into
376
00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:15.279
the playoffs and actually being successful. Sometimes that happens, obviously
377
00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:19.079
the bubble weird example, but Dallas did. They were cold
378
00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:21.400
as hell and they went on a run to go
379
00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:23.279
all the way to the Stanley Cup finals that year.
380
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:26.680
They haven't been able to recreate it since, but you know,
381
00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:32.799
that's what happens sometimes anyway. It's the important thing is though,
382
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:36.799
is staying hot and getting everything going and clicking on
383
00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:40.519
all cylinders here. And that's not to say that whoever
384
00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:44.039
you're facing isn't ready to go, but as long as
385
00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:46.279
you're doing what you got to do, and you're firing
386
00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:48.920
on all cylinders, you should be able to handle who
387
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:51.160
your first round opponent is at the end of the day.
388
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:55.279
So that's that's the situation for the Flyers right now.
389
00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:57.680
Let's see here.
390
00:20:58.119 --> 00:21:01.640
And to what you're saying about the first round matchup, Maddie,
391
00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:03.640
you know, you face the Pittsford Penguins team. That's a
392
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:06.920
very beatable team. So it's yeah, they're they're not the
393
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:09.799
same team they were in twenty eighteen. They're they're much older,
394
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:12.359
and yeah, they're still days there dangerous because as long
395
00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:14.200
as you have Sidney Crosby on that team, you're always
396
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:16.279
going to be dangerous. But of course, you know, I
397
00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:19.079
think they've downgraded as far as goaltending has gone. I
398
00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:22.359
think Silly av Is is they're they're a better goaltender.
399
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:24.319
So if you if you can get them to start
400
00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:27.160
skinner more often than Silly av you're gonna have a
401
00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:30.000
much better opportunity to beat them. But you know, I
402
00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:33.759
think you know, with the Flyers, they've been the way
403
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:36.960
they've been playing, They're they're playing hungrier, they're playing faster,
404
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:40.799
they're taking smarter shots, and the big thing for them
405
00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:44.000
would be is this even goes through the remainder of
406
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:46.680
the regular season, is you know, taking advantage of the
407
00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:48.759
power play. You know you got you got a dangerous
408
00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:52.000
power play. Now you got two weapons, two new weapons essentially,
409
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:55.720
and you know they're they're out there having fun right now,
410
00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:58.559
and they're they're enjoying themselves. This is where this team
411
00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:02.279
can become an extreme dangerous team. And we've seen we've
412
00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:04.400
seen it a few times where a team that's running
413
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:07.920
hot heading into the playoffs have made deep runs. So
414
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:10.359
do I think they get to the Sane Cup Final?
415
00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:10.680
No?
416
00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:13.640
But do I think they can make a run potentially?
417
00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:15.400
We've seen crazy shit happen before.
418
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:18.960
That's true. Benny does bring up a good point too.
419
00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:20.839
I think you also have to lean on the fact
420
00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:23.119
that you're playing great on the road, which is vital
421
00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:26.119
when you probably never have home ice. And a great
422
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:28.000
example is going on right now now. To be fair,
423
00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:32.319
the Devils haven't exactly had a spectacular season, but you're
424
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:35.480
on the road, you're in the Devil's building, not an
425
00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:37.599
easy team to go up against, the matter who you are,
426
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:41.319
and up for one at the end of the day,
427
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:44.000
you know, getting on that road, taking care of.
428
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:49.799
Business yep, yep. And they've they've looked good the entire night.
429
00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:52.079
I mean, yeah, they're getting out shop. But that that,
430
00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:54.359
to me, will never tell me the entire story of
431
00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:57.640
this game, because yeah, Devils have had their spurts of
432
00:22:58.039 --> 00:23:04.359
you know, maintaining offensive own time, but the Flyers team, this,
433
00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:07.720
this team is just they're just playing with a completely
434
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:11.640
different energy and I don't think I don't think anything
435
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:14.039
can really match it right now, right, And.
436
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:16.680
I mean that's kind of what the Flyers and have
437
00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:21.319
evolved into in terms of what this team's identity would be.
438
00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:24.839
And that's a team that manages the game extremely well, right,
439
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:28.079
takes the punches and counter punches you for the knockout
440
00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:30.640
blow with a quick transition game and we've seen it
441
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:33.480
on a full display tonight. And that's it. And and
442
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:36.960
that's a team that could be very dangerous come playoff time.
443
00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:43.960
Mm hmm, yeah, no, for sure. Interesting to me that
444
00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:46.640
the Devils pulled their goalie with four minutes to go
445
00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:48.359
a little bit more than that.
446
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:53.039
Well they have to because but to your point earlier, right,
447
00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:56.599
there are time periods and then that this goes into
448
00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:01.559
the Flyer strategy, right, that the Devils you know, you're
449
00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:04.400
really controlled, dictated the course of play in terms offensive
450
00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:07.480
zone and getting shots on net. Right, But they are
451
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:13.039
a lot from the outside, low quality, not high danger chances,
452
00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:17.720
so that bodes well for the Flyers. But in the end,
453
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:21.240
right when this team came back in the second period,
454
00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:26.319
it quickly can flip the t You see that light switch,
455
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:29.440
that light switch that you see teams that are really
456
00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:33.160
good playoff runs happen where they just all of a sudden, Okay,
457
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:36.000
I took about what was it. The Flyer started off
458
00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:39.960
five shots the Devil's zero, and then they came back
459
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:43.079
and put up I think nine or ten shots to
460
00:24:43.079 --> 00:24:45.880
the Flyers one, right, and then they come back in
461
00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:48.319
the second period and then out shoot them eight to five.
462
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:51.440
So this is a team that's that it's just very
463
00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:54.799
cagy like Rick Tocket and you see it. And and
464
00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:59.160
to me that tells me two things. One extremely tight
465
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:02.920
locker room. These boys love each other. And two they
466
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:06.160
got like the coach has their ear and has them
467
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:06.720
buying in.
468
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:09.599
Yeah. And the one thing that we had talked about
469
00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:13.119
before a couple of weeks ago, Maddie was, you know,
470
00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:15.039
it's a very important for the team to figure out
471
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:17.920
how to play games in the second period, especially coming
472
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:19.559
this part of the year. You know, you're fighting for
473
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:22.759
a playoff spot. You you need to figure out ways
474
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:25.079
to to win and not let these teams in setting
475
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:27.440
the tone this that and the third I think the
476
00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:29.319
last few games that they have done that. As they
477
00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:31.720
sink the empty netter, I didn't see who got it?
478
00:25:31.720 --> 00:25:36.519
Who got it, Maddie, It looks like it was a Steeler.
479
00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:42.039
Oh but yeah, set in the tone and how yes,
480
00:25:46.119 --> 00:25:48.480
but yeah, Matt, we talked about how important that was.
481
00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:55.880
Yeah, absolutely, and I I agree. I think when you
482
00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:59.200
get right down that was. Sorry, I'm just seeing it now.
483
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:01.880
He literally hurled it into the air and it just
484
00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:10.799
angled perfectly into the empty net anyway. So ultimately, I
485
00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:16.559
would say that the one major thing that this team
486
00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:19.359
has been doing besides the second period play is you know,
487
00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:24.279
we were talking also about those big, like clutch wins
488
00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:27.200
that you need to get, and they had been struggling
489
00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:31.000
with that, Like they would get those wins and then
490
00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:33.400
they would take a step backwards and then take a
491
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:37.160
clutch loss, and then it's like, ah, and you're not
492
00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:40.160
doing yourself any favors by doing that. A good example
493
00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:43.960
is Detroit. You beat them in Detroit and then you
494
00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:46.640
lose to them at home, which again has not been
495
00:26:46.920 --> 00:26:51.039
uncommon for this year for the Flyers, been habitual if anything.
496
00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:55.839
But ultimately it's a perfect example of you have to
497
00:26:55.880 --> 00:26:57.680
get wins on teams like that when you're in a
498
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:00.799
wildcard race with them. You have to bear those teams.
499
00:27:01.400 --> 00:27:03.720
I know it's hard to win two games straight on
500
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:07.319
a team, but you have to do it because it's
501
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:11.200
it's required a few at this point. And another example
502
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:13.680
is Columbus. They could not get a win on the
503
00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:16.440
tell on Columbus to save their sorry asses, and it's
504
00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:19.640
just like you have to beat them. You don't have
505
00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:22.039
a choice. You have to get those wins. For them
506
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:25.640
to get that win against Boston, that meant a lot
507
00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:28.680
because it's like that was the first real clutch win.
508
00:27:28.799 --> 00:27:32.079
You get that win on that does so much for
509
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:35.359
your locker room, and it does so much for your
510
00:27:35.400 --> 00:27:39.400
motivation and for and like we've been saying, for Martne
511
00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:42.839
to get the winner, it's such a huge moment for
512
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:45.359
this team. And you can argue to say if the
513
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:48.559
Flyers wind up holding onto this spot in third place
514
00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:51.839
and they take their first leap into the playoffs for
515
00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:55.000
the first times since the bubble. You know, at the
516
00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:57.880
end of the day, that's the win right there that
517
00:27:57.920 --> 00:28:00.440
you can point to to say, that's the moment right there.
518
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:03.960
The Flyers, they were ready to go. That was the
519
00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:06.880
only said we can do this. That'll be the win
520
00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:07.480
to go back to.
521
00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:12.079
Yeah, that's a great market to do that. But I
522
00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:15.599
mean the competition is going to be stiff, boys. I mean,
523
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:20.079
the schedule makers really knew what they were doing coming
524
00:28:20.119 --> 00:28:23.079
down to the clutch. You see the Flyers at this
525
00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:25.359
point right now, they're playing a Devil's team, and they're
526
00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:28.440
gonna be playing two teams coming up in the Detroit
527
00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:31.000
Red Wings and Winnipeg Jets that are on the outside
528
00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:33.240
looking in, still have something to play for. They have
529
00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:36.559
an outside shot of making the playoffs themselves. But at
530
00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:39.079
the very least, we'll want to play spoilers, like we
531
00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:41.599
saw this Devil's team wanting to do that before we
532
00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:43.839
give them a big old five to one ship burger
533
00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:46.640
right now to eat. Always got to love it, always
534
00:28:46.680 --> 00:28:50.000
got to love it. So But like as I said,
535
00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:51.920
the Red Wings have something to play for, the Jets
536
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:55.039
have something to play for. Even the Hurricanes and the Canadians,
537
00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:58.279
who are the last two home games for the Flyers,
538
00:28:58.559 --> 00:29:01.440
are gonna have, you know, stuff to play for it
539
00:29:01.559 --> 00:29:05.079
as they battle for playoff seeding. You know, Carolina trying
540
00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:07.599
to stay ahead of Tampa Bay as the Flyers secure
541
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:10.680
the five to one league with a five to one victory.
542
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:12.640
Here we go, here we go, and then you got
543
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:15.559
Montreal and Buffalo. Montreal might want to try to catch
544
00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:19.039
up on Buffalo to get home ice in their series.
545
00:29:19.079 --> 00:29:19.799
Go ahead, Maddie.
546
00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:23.880
Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you there, Robbie, but.
547
00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:25.000
Uh, I do it all the time.
548
00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:33.279
But the Flyers sweeping the season series against the Devils.
549
00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:35.640
They haven't done that since eighty three eighty four, And
550
00:29:35.680 --> 00:29:38.160
in case anyone doesn't know their hockey history, that was
551
00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:42.400
the first season the Devils existed. So just think about
552
00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:45.240
that for a second. The Flyers have not they have
553
00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:49.359
not swept the Devils in a season series since they
554
00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:54.200
came into the league. That's saying that is like you
555
00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:56.480
would have thought that at some point the Flyers would
556
00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:00.240
have done it in between that. No, not well, I'm
557
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:04.000
just like damn okay. And just what's more mind boggling
558
00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:07.599
is because like in most of the eighties, the Devil sucked. Hey,
559
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:09.480
we're one of the worst teams in the league, So
560
00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:11.680
it's like, how the fuck did they not do it
561
00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:13.039
multiple times in the yies?
562
00:30:13.079 --> 00:30:17.359
But anyway, but does it really count when you only
563
00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:20.160
face the team in your division three times opposed to
564
00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:24.000
the past? Like, I mean, a season series is a
565
00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:26.440
season series sweep, and I'll take it. And I'm not
566
00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:29.200
making any excuses. It's always great. Hate to see it
567
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:32.319
when you beat the sweep the Devils. But but yeah, no,
568
00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:35.559
I mean it's a little easier nowadays, and that would explain,
569
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:38.279
you know, how it hadn't been done during that whole
570
00:30:38.279 --> 00:30:40.920
time period in the eighties when the Devils did kick
571
00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:43.400
rocks there, Maddie. But yeah, no, Like I was saying,
572
00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:46.440
Carolina Hurricanes are only two points up on the Lightning,
573
00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:49.640
so they're gonna have stuff to play for, and the
574
00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:52.640
Canadians are two points behind the Buffalo Sabers trying to
575
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:56.599
get home. I so you know, there's Columbus has games
576
00:30:56.599 --> 00:30:59.839
that are directly pivotal to these playoff seedings. So does
577
00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:03.160
Boston Bruins. I was seeing a big rundown about that.
578
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:06.720
It's gonna be really interesting and it's just this is
579
00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:10.319
what you love as hockey fans. It's great to say
580
00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:13.559
it's an opportunity for the Flyers to write a ship
581
00:31:13.640 --> 00:31:16.640
that went wrong when they were in a playoff position
582
00:31:16.680 --> 00:31:19.599
and let it slip through their fingers two years back.
583
00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:24.240
It's opportunity to sort of put the dagger in that
584
00:31:24.319 --> 00:31:27.319
demon and take that next step in the rebuild. And
585
00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:30.200
then it's you know, it's onward and upward from there.
586
00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:36.160
Yeah, no, for sure, And you know it's gonna get
587
00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:38.279
tough for them because you know, you're facing two of
588
00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:41.200
the top teams in the Eastern Conference back to back
589
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:45.519
to finish everything off. So it's definitely tough. It's gonna
590
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:47.039
be a tough stretch for them. So they're gonna have
591
00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:51.240
to They're gonna have to, you know, take advantage, gig
592
00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:53.039
get as many points as it possibly can going that
593
00:31:53.119 --> 00:31:57.519
because the schedule is tough from here because every team
594
00:31:57.559 --> 00:32:01.519
is either trying to maneuver for placement in the standings
595
00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:05.000
or they're moving for trying to play spoiler for somebody
596
00:32:05.039 --> 00:32:07.039
to keep them from hitting a certain point in the standings,
597
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:11.920
playoff positioning, all that stuff. You know, it's it's the
598
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:14.200
NHL and and every game is a battle. But you know,
599
00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:15.920
this is the time of year where we're gonna see
600
00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:19.279
just people. We're gonna see teams just wanted to play spoiler.
601
00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:23.519
And you know, you got teams like like Robbie to
602
00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:26.720
your point in Carolina and Montreal Jets playing for something.
603
00:32:26.759 --> 00:32:28.799
You know, these these guys are all trying to figure
604
00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:31.359
out they're positioning now, so they're all still going to
605
00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:32.920
be fighting, and they're all going to be tough, and
606
00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:35.720
you know, flyers just have to keep rolling and and
607
00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:38.519
you know, trying to get as many points in regulation
608
00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:39.039
as they can.
609
00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:45.480
Absolutely, we got Don don in here saying, Hi, I
610
00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:47.799
feel as my name is Don Dunn and I hate hockey.
611
00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:53.640
Sorry day Yeah, hey, listen brother, it's it's all right man.
612
00:32:55.319 --> 00:32:58.440
It's what they're up three to right now? Right, I think.
613
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:03.359
Was Robert? I think is Robert? Are you talking about
614
00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:06.079
the Red Wings Columbus right now? At to two late
615
00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:06.680
in the third.
616
00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:10.079
Verify? Yeah, I think the Troit just put up a
617
00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:13.880
knocker with forty two seconds left. Oh sure, Okay, So
618
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:15.839
I don't know Dot that's hating hockey now.
619
00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:19.200
Yeah, I mean your team's coming through a little bit here. Yeah,
620
00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:22.119
I'm seeing it yep three two with fifty three seconds
621
00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:22.599
left to go.
622
00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:27.599
So justin Falk scored at the fifteen to fourteen mark.
623
00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:36.559
M all right, all right. And also the Lightning are
624
00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:38.920
getting spanked right now by the Senators five to two,
625
00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:44.359
So like okay, sens are they're refusing to give up
626
00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:46.319
right now as natural.
627
00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:53.519
Wait to take it up back baby, And you know
628
00:33:53.640 --> 00:33:56.319
it's the service too. I in that equation, you definitely
629
00:33:56.319 --> 00:33:59.960
want to see Columbus lose there because even though I did,
630
00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:03.480
you know, identify it out in terms of you know,
631
00:34:03.519 --> 00:34:06.240
your record against Ottawa, you want to take the third
632
00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:09.800
place metropolitan that that's the easier path right now at
633
00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:12.599
this point, especially when you know, I don't know if
634
00:34:12.599 --> 00:34:16.039
the Islanders team was necessarily reeling as if they've just
635
00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:19.440
had enough of Patrick want his attitude and wanted to
636
00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:23.159
get a jump on the Peter de Borg sweepstakes. I
637
00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:25.840
think that was more of the case. Whereas you know,
638
00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:28.639
with Vegas and Bruce Cassidy, both of these guys are
639
00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:31.239
going to get jobs. You know, it's it's without a doubt.
640
00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:33.840
But but that that was more of a head scratcher
641
00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:36.480
for me bringing it towards when you were sitting well
642
00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:39.480
in a playoff spot that early, but sometimes you need
643
00:34:39.480 --> 00:34:40.239
a new voice.
644
00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:44.639
Yeah, to build off what you're saying, the Vegas one
645
00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:47.039
made no sense to me because Twitterell is only there
646
00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:50.119
for the remainder of the year and whatever, however long
647
00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:53.000
they lasted the playoffs, he didn't sign a long term deal.
648
00:34:54.039 --> 00:34:55.920
Now with the board, you brought up a great point,
649
00:34:55.960 --> 00:34:58.119
because he's he's going to be one of those guys
650
00:34:58.119 --> 00:35:01.440
that was going to be sought after by many, many teams.
651
00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:04.119
And that was the mean reason why Islanders jumped on
652
00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:05.679
them now, because they didn't think they were gonna have
653
00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:07.679
a chance at him come to the offseason, so they
654
00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:10.679
had to jump. So to your point, it could be
655
00:35:10.719 --> 00:35:13.360
just you know, change of voice could could do a
656
00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:16.199
lot for a team like the Islanders. And you know,
657
00:35:16.719 --> 00:35:19.320
even if they missed the playoffs, here, this is a
658
00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:22.199
team that has a bright future. And you know Cole
659
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:25.320
Eisman isn't any even in the lineup yet, and you
660
00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:27.559
know there they have a lot to look forward to.
661
00:35:28.840 --> 00:35:32.320
Absolutely, And right now I have pulled up the Boston
662
00:35:33.159 --> 00:35:36.400
Hurricanes game only because the Bruins are in the wild
663
00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:39.039
card standings right now, and that just got tied up.
664
00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:45.559
Avozaka just tied it up. So yeah, right now things
665
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:50.039
are a little crazy, Robert saying, oh my Columbus going down. Yeah,
666
00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:52.719
Columbus is currently on the outside looking in. They are
667
00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:54.880
at eighty eight points. The Red Wings are at eighty
668
00:35:54.880 --> 00:35:57.760
eight points. Well, with their win tonight, that's a little
669
00:35:57.760 --> 00:36:00.719
bit of a different story. They're Islanders are at eighty
670
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:05.559
nine points, and then the sensor a nineties. So I
671
00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:08.239
mean the race is not over by any stretch of
672
00:36:08.239 --> 00:36:09.840
the imagination, but.
673
00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:14.679
They have opportunity, and I mean I wouldn't necessarily say
674
00:36:14.679 --> 00:36:16.920
it collapse. I mean they kind of came from so
675
00:36:17.079 --> 00:36:20.519
far low to begin the season, had the coaching change,
676
00:36:21.239 --> 00:36:24.760
and then eventually, you know, when they've been playing playoff
677
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:26.880
hockey for the past month and a half, you know
678
00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:28.639
what I mean, you're gonna hit a little you know,
679
00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:31.159
like you know, run a little low on gas. But
680
00:36:31.559 --> 00:36:34.519
they're right there, absolutely Like did they get one one?
681
00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:37.000
I mean I don't obviously as a Flyers fan, I
682
00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:39.480
don't want to see it, but it definitely makes you
683
00:36:39.559 --> 00:36:41.199
nervous heading down the road. I want to see the
684
00:36:41.199 --> 00:36:45.119
rest of their remaining schedule. They're the team that worries
685
00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:47.599
me the most in this equation. And by the way,
686
00:36:47.639 --> 00:36:49.079
that's tied up three to three.
687
00:36:49.239 --> 00:36:51.000
Now yeah, what.
688
00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:53.480
Seconds left?
689
00:36:54.159 --> 00:36:54.480
Wow?
690
00:36:55.480 --> 00:36:59.360
Jack, never say die. They play the Sabers, the Canadians,
691
00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:05.960
the brow and the Caps playing three. Like I said,
692
00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:07.480
to the point where it's like a lot of these
693
00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:10.719
teams facing off against the same same opponents as well
694
00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:19.320
as uh people. Uh well that's that's been the thing
695
00:37:19.320 --> 00:37:21.519
that's been goaltender for Detroit, right.
696
00:37:23.159 --> 00:37:24.480
Yeah, that's been that's been.
697
00:37:25.800 --> 00:37:32.280
Yeah, I mean I've been The game's not over. I mean, yeah,
698
00:37:32.440 --> 00:37:36.159
obviously you don't want to give the person you're in
699
00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:39.199
the race with a point, but you still have an
700
00:37:39.239 --> 00:37:43.000
extra point that you could snag from them. So yeah,
701
00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:46.039
so both have a point, but there is an extra
702
00:37:46.119 --> 00:37:49.360
point available. So and keep in mind the Blue Jackets
703
00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:52.599
and the Red Wings are tied on points, so whoever
704
00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:54.880
wins an overtime is still going to be one point
705
00:37:54.920 --> 00:37:58.159
ahead of the other. So again, don don you're not
706
00:37:58.280 --> 00:38:01.639
dead yet, just saying you're not. Yeah, there's still a
707
00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:04.360
chance the Red Wings could cut out a point ahead
708
00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:05.239
of Columbus here.
709
00:38:05.719 --> 00:38:08.320
Yeah, but I don't blame him. And to Robbie's point,
710
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:10.480
you know, he brought up the goaltending to Detroit and
711
00:38:10.519 --> 00:38:13.559
they they've been struggling a lot lately, especially John Gibson.
712
00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:17.800
Give you had a great, real, real kind of sour
713
00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:20.119
start to this season and then he really found his groove.
714
00:38:20.440 --> 00:38:22.320
But I'd say over the like the last month or so,
715
00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:25.760
he has just not been to John Gibson that people
716
00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:30.280
expected him to be. He just absolutely just has fallen off.
717
00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:33.039
He I don't know what happened, but he's got the
718
00:38:33.119 --> 00:38:36.320
yips or something, but you know, he's just he has
719
00:38:36.519 --> 00:38:39.440
not been good in the last month or so. Yeah,
720
00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:41.400
he's got to figure it out if Detroit wants to
721
00:38:41.440 --> 00:38:42.960
shot at get in a wild card spot.
722
00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:45.679
I mean, the shot that went in from Fantilly doesn't
723
00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:47.679
look all that great. I mean, he got it on
724
00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:49.760
his arm, but then it just fell off into the goal.
725
00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:52.840
You know, it's like he probably should have loved that.
726
00:38:53.159 --> 00:38:58.920
But you know, Don has been good. Donna's saying, I'm
727
00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:02.199
rooting for the Ducks to win Cup. Now, dude, they.
728
00:39:02.159 --> 00:39:04.679
Got a tough, tough path ahead of them. They're gonna
729
00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:06.079
be They're gonna be lucky to get out of the
730
00:39:06.119 --> 00:39:07.920
second round. If I'm gonna be perfectly honest with you,
731
00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:11.239
they're still tough to get out of the first round
732
00:39:11.280 --> 00:39:12.559
two depending on the matchup.
733
00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:15.400
They're still looking at a Mammoth matchup, so and the
734
00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:19.800
Mammoth are a dangerous team, so, you know, yeah, but
735
00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:22.000
I mean the Ducks are too to an extent, I
736
00:39:22.039 --> 00:39:24.920
mean both are kind of playing with house money. Weird
737
00:39:24.920 --> 00:39:27.440
to say that for yeah, but you know.
738
00:39:28.039 --> 00:39:30.360
Yeah, sort of. Yeah, they're they're dealing with the same
739
00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:33.920
ship that Detroit's dealing with right now, and that's faulty goaltending.
740
00:39:33.960 --> 00:39:36.480
It's nothing against Lucasto Stall at all, but you know,
741
00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:40.599
he's just he's looked very human in the last i'd
742
00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:44.400
say two to three weeks. Defense does not look good.
743
00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:48.440
Offense is there, but you know, it's just the Eastes
744
00:39:48.559 --> 00:39:51.000
is so dominant. And then on top of it too,
745
00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:55.840
it's you're looking at the Central Division. That's another really
746
00:39:55.880 --> 00:39:58.320
deep division. I might be the best division in hockey
747
00:39:58.320 --> 00:40:01.880
if you're gonna ask my opinion. They're just so deep
748
00:40:02.119 --> 00:40:04.079
and everybody's for the most part, I feel like he's
749
00:40:04.119 --> 00:40:09.840
in it. So you know, definitely the cards are stacked
750
00:40:10.159 --> 00:40:12.840
and not in their favor. So I would love to
751
00:40:12.840 --> 00:40:14.639
see it, obviously, he's a Ducks fan. I would love
752
00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:17.960
to see it, but I just don't think it's happening right.
753
00:40:18.559 --> 00:40:21.480
I mean, right now, OT just started between the Blue
754
00:40:21.519 --> 00:40:24.320
Jackets and the Red Wings. Red Wings had a little
755
00:40:24.320 --> 00:40:27.719
bit of some dangerous possession there, so I.
756
00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:28.840
Had to turn the baseball game on.
757
00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:31.760
That's all right, it's understandable.
758
00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:34.679
Phillies Giants. I think Sanchez is on the mount for
759
00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:38.559
the Phillies tonight. Yeah.
760
00:40:38.599 --> 00:40:43.639
The East is a war zone. Yeah, absolutely do I
761
00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:46.119
Chris saying I might take the Mammoth over the Ducks,
762
00:40:46.119 --> 00:40:48.000
but Ducks over the Kings and Predators.
763
00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:52.079
Yeah, I'd be happy if they just won a couple
764
00:40:52.119 --> 00:40:54.000
of games in the series. I'm gonna be perfectly honest.
765
00:40:54.239 --> 00:40:55.960
They still have a lot of they still have a
766
00:40:55.960 --> 00:40:57.880
lot to work on and a lot of growing to do.
767
00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:02.280
But I don't think they're They're They're definitely, you know,
768
00:41:02.719 --> 00:41:04.559
the future is bright in the futures now for them,
769
00:41:04.559 --> 00:41:07.199
So I'm not I'm not too worried about what happens
770
00:41:07.239 --> 00:41:08.920
in the playoffs, just as long as they get there
771
00:41:09.039 --> 00:41:09.880
this year at least.
772
00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:14.639
Oh okay, so it's it's Ducks in Vegas. Okay, So
773
00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:16.320
Vegas and Ducks, which is.
774
00:41:16.559 --> 00:41:18.760
Oh, that's right, Emonson sitting in first place right now.
775
00:41:19.079 --> 00:41:23.199
Ah, and then Chris saying, right now it's Ducks Vegas.
776
00:41:23.280 --> 00:41:29.119
I take Ducks over Vegas. I would agree, would too. Yeah,
777
00:41:29.719 --> 00:41:33.519
let's see here, and Rob saying we handled our business
778
00:41:33.559 --> 00:41:36.079
five to one for two points. What's the ninety two
779
00:41:36.159 --> 00:41:39.360
points now for the Flyers? I know, right, it's crazy
780
00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:41.599
after the last few years of rebuilding.
781
00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:44.360
And that's that question just after I close the standings.
782
00:41:44.360 --> 00:41:49.320
Thanks Rob. Yes, it's ninety two.
783
00:41:52.159 --> 00:41:56.880
Yes, and you're right, Rob, Vegas does have goalie issues.
784
00:41:57.280 --> 00:41:59.400
They have a few other issues too. The other issue
785
00:41:59.400 --> 00:42:01.960
is is that for some reason their offense hasn't exactly
786
00:42:02.000 --> 00:42:05.679
been sparkling like it had been earlier on in the season.
787
00:42:06.280 --> 00:42:09.320
So yeah, yeah.
788
00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:11.920
To say, I mean, you have to run the table here.
789
00:42:12.199 --> 00:42:14.360
But if you run the table, you're looking at one
790
00:42:14.440 --> 00:42:15.280
hundred point season.
791
00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:17.760
That's crazy.
792
00:42:18.119 --> 00:42:20.880
And I mean, you know what, I'm just gonna say
793
00:42:20.880 --> 00:42:22.840
this right now. If they pull off one hundred points
794
00:42:22.840 --> 00:42:24.800
and they're in the playoffs, I don't give a shit
795
00:42:24.840 --> 00:42:28.760
what the result is in the series. You have to
796
00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:31.079
give you have to put Toackett in there for the
797
00:42:31.159 --> 00:42:35.199
Jack Adams. You have to, like for a team that
798
00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:38.920
had no expectations on it and was looking at being
799
00:42:38.920 --> 00:42:42.320
a bottom feeder. Again, if they pull off one hundred
800
00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:44.559
points and take on the Penguins in the first round,
801
00:42:44.760 --> 00:42:48.159
no matter what the outcome is, Tockett has to be
802
00:42:48.199 --> 00:42:49.880
a nominee for the jack Adams.
803
00:42:50.159 --> 00:42:51.800
He has to be agreed.
804
00:42:51.880 --> 00:42:54.639
You know what's the craziest part. I just looked at
805
00:42:54.639 --> 00:42:58.480
the standings, the way the things are going right now.
806
00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:04.800
If Philly, Pittsburgh, and Boston all went out the rest
807
00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:09.280
of their games, that's ten ten teams I think, to
808
00:43:09.360 --> 00:43:11.960
my account, ten teams with one hundred points or more.
809
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:20.920
Damn Jesus, Tampa, Buffalo, Montreal, Carolina already broke a hundred
810
00:43:21.559 --> 00:43:23.360
and then on the other side on the West you
811
00:43:23.440 --> 00:43:26.679
have basically Colorado, Dallas, Minnesota.
812
00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:29.920
It's crazy.
813
00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:31.599
That's ten teams. That's ten teams that would have a
814
00:43:31.719 --> 00:43:33.079
hundred points. It's insanity.
815
00:43:33.639 --> 00:43:34.039
Just to ma.
816
00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:41.719
Let's see here, I'm saying different team post Olympic break,
817
00:43:41.800 --> 00:43:45.599
especially defensively. Absolutely, the break was everything the doctor ordered
818
00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:49.119
for this squad. Absolutely, that's what they needed. They needed
819
00:43:49.119 --> 00:43:52.760
that break, they needed to recenter and refocus, and that's
820
00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:58.400
exactly what they did, and the results have been have
821
00:43:58.480 --> 00:44:02.199
been beautiful. Have they been perfect? No, They've had some stumbles,
822
00:44:02.360 --> 00:44:04.960
but for the most part they have been on fucking
823
00:44:05.199 --> 00:44:10.079
point since that break. And then let's see as Jams
824
00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:12.960
saying flyers are scorching hot at the right time, fellas
825
00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:17.119
Forrester's return is only adding fuel. Never know, and you're right,
826
00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:19.239
you never do know. At the end of the day,
827
00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:23.000
hockey is a funny sport, like that Chriz saying, weren't
828
00:44:23.000 --> 00:44:26.719
there flyers fans wanting Talcket fired? Where are they at now? Oh? Well,
829
00:44:26.719 --> 00:44:31.119
we call those the the the overreactors, the ones who
830
00:44:31.159 --> 00:44:36.760
are not fair weather, but they are the uh, the
831
00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:40.559
hot takers, the ones who think that they're being bold
832
00:44:40.599 --> 00:44:44.880
by saying something that is clearly stupid to say out loud,
833
00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:46.599
but apparently they think it's brilliant.
834
00:44:47.199 --> 00:44:49.760
Well, I mean to your point, Maddie, if that did
835
00:44:49.800 --> 00:44:52.639
come to fruition now, I mean, Rick Taker will have competition.
836
00:44:52.840 --> 00:44:56.199
I mean, after all, you have VINDI Rough returning to
837
00:44:56.239 --> 00:44:58.280
the Sabers and bringing them into the playoffs for the
838
00:44:58.280 --> 00:45:02.119
first time since twenty twelve. That's gonna be hard to top.
839
00:45:02.159 --> 00:45:04.760
For John Cooper with the Lightning Dan Muse with the
840
00:45:04.760 --> 00:45:08.239
Penguins as well. It could all be considered. But if
841
00:45:08.280 --> 00:45:11.760
Tackett were to win it, that would be twice since
842
00:45:11.800 --> 00:45:15.320
twenty twenty three that he's tooken home the hardware after
843
00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:17.960
taking it in his first year of Vancouver. Will that
844
00:45:18.119 --> 00:45:21.920
finally quiet the doubters in terms of the level of
845
00:45:21.960 --> 00:45:24.679
coaching that Rick Talckett offers.
846
00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:28.920
That's a good point. That is a good point. It might,
847
00:45:29.000 --> 00:45:35.960
It might, it might, and I mean you'd have to
848
00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:38.440
think that, it would have to. At that point you'd
849
00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:40.840
have to say, like, hey, listen, look at what he's done.
850
00:45:41.000 --> 00:45:43.360
I mean, even like, even if he doesn't take home
851
00:45:43.360 --> 00:45:46.719
the hardware, he might not. I mean, like you said, Robbie,
852
00:45:46.719 --> 00:45:49.960
you brought up a great point. I mean, Lindy Ruff
853
00:45:50.039 --> 00:45:52.440
may very well have it easy as a shoe win
854
00:45:52.599 --> 00:45:56.199
honestly because of how the Sabers have played in this game.
855
00:45:56.280 --> 00:45:58.440
I mean, I mean, look at the season the Savers
856
00:45:58.440 --> 00:46:00.639
have had. I mean, it's been a it's been a
857
00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:06.079
beast this year. I would say, though, I would not
858
00:46:06.119 --> 00:46:08.159
want to be facing the Sabers in the first round.
859
00:46:08.400 --> 00:46:10.360
I absolutely don't want to be facing them in the
860
00:46:10.360 --> 00:46:16.039
first round. Yeah, yeah, I feel bad for whatever team
861
00:46:16.079 --> 00:46:23.360
has to face them. But with that though, let's see
862
00:46:23.440 --> 00:46:30.800
here Rob saying got four yards actually getting back now okay,
863
00:46:31.639 --> 00:46:34.239
oh forwards. I think that's what he meant, getting forwards
864
00:46:34.280 --> 00:46:38.800
getting back now playing defense. Yes, yes, that's true. S
865
00:46:38.880 --> 00:46:43.840
Jam's saying, PRIs we love Uncle Rick, and he was
866
00:46:43.840 --> 00:46:46.679
also saying prison are saying great points on you there, Brob.
867
00:46:49.079 --> 00:46:51.599
And then the other Rob, the one in the comments
868
00:46:51.760 --> 00:46:53.440
part of the fans saying I wouldn't want to face
869
00:46:53.480 --> 00:46:57.199
the Flyers. Look out Pittsburgh. Yeah, Pittsburgh would be wise
870
00:46:57.239 --> 00:46:59.000
not to sleep on the Flyers, which I don't think
871
00:46:59.039 --> 00:47:02.679
Pittsburgh is because this year's season series went to the Flyers,
872
00:47:03.199 --> 00:47:07.000
so I think Pittsburgh would take them seriously. But all
873
00:47:07.079 --> 00:47:09.000
the same, even if you take them seriously, the Flyers
874
00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:12.840
still might have something that the Penguins don't, possibly, possibly,
875
00:47:14.280 --> 00:47:16.639
So it's an even playing field. So you don't know.
876
00:47:16.920 --> 00:47:18.679
And it's still crazy to me right now that this
877
00:47:18.760 --> 00:47:22.639
is what we're talking playoffs. You know, I heard Boosh
878
00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:25.840
and and JJ on the broadcast saying in the second period,
879
00:47:25.880 --> 00:47:27.639
like are we really talking about the playoffs right now?
880
00:47:27.679 --> 00:47:27.760
Like?
881
00:47:27.800 --> 00:47:32.159
How free is this? This is fantastic I know, but yeah, yeah,
882
00:47:32.199 --> 00:47:33.760
there's a couple of teams right now that I won't
883
00:47:33.760 --> 00:47:36.239
want to play in the playoffs right now. Flyers are
884
00:47:36.280 --> 00:47:39.880
one of them, Sabers or one of them. Minnesota would
885
00:47:39.920 --> 00:47:41.760
be one of those teams that I'd be a little
886
00:47:41.760 --> 00:47:47.000
scared to play right now. Colorado, But there's it's just
887
00:47:47.000 --> 00:47:50.400
just showing you just the depth of this of this
888
00:47:50.480 --> 00:47:53.559
team right now and how important you know, playing for
889
00:47:53.639 --> 00:47:57.320
each other is referring to the Flyers, you know, they
890
00:47:58.400 --> 00:48:01.800
they're rallying around each other, and ever since forrest Are
891
00:48:01.880 --> 00:48:04.880
came back, see a little bit of extra jumping Zegres,
892
00:48:05.119 --> 00:48:07.719
you see a little extra jumping, jumping tipp It, and
893
00:48:07.760 --> 00:48:10.199
Tippet's playing more of a two hundred foot game recently,
894
00:48:10.239 --> 00:48:14.239
where he's getting back, he's playing physical, he's getting he's
895
00:48:14.280 --> 00:48:17.840
he's basically he's dialing into aspects of the game you
896
00:48:17.840 --> 00:48:20.800
don't necessarily see from him. And you're seeing that from
897
00:48:20.840 --> 00:48:24.679
a few different people on the roster. But to me, yeah,
898
00:48:24.800 --> 00:48:28.079
this this team is just they're they're buying into everything,
899
00:48:28.639 --> 00:48:30.920
and I think that's so important, and the fact that
900
00:48:30.920 --> 00:48:34.239
they're buying into each other. This is just an absolute
901
00:48:34.320 --> 00:48:36.400
dangerous team and I love the way that these guys
902
00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:37.599
are rallying around each other.
903
00:48:38.119 --> 00:48:38.280
Uh.
904
00:48:38.679 --> 00:48:42.920
Biggest point is Porter Martine's goal. I mean, how often
905
00:48:42.920 --> 00:48:44.639
do you see Trevor Ziegers put somebody in a sleeper
906
00:48:44.679 --> 00:48:48.000
hole just to celebrate? You know, you see you saw
907
00:48:48.079 --> 00:48:53.079
that against uh Boston the other day, and you know,
908
00:48:53.280 --> 00:48:56.280
Porter scores and Zegres has them holding on to them
909
00:48:56.320 --> 00:49:00.320
basically like this, and you love it. You just love see.
910
00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:02.320
You love the camaraderie, you love the team like this
911
00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:05.000
is this. We've been saying this for a few years.
912
00:49:05.039 --> 00:49:06.679
He seemed to such a bright future and we're starting
913
00:49:06.679 --> 00:49:10.400
to see what such great energy, great energy.
914
00:49:11.639 --> 00:49:14.079
I agree one hundred percent. Speaking of great energy, I
915
00:49:14.079 --> 00:49:16.639
just watched Patrick Kane absolutely make Graves with like a
916
00:49:16.760 --> 00:49:21.559
fucking idiot our grieves on that shootout on a shootout goal.
917
00:49:21.920 --> 00:49:26.079
But anyway, he might be old, but he isn't withered.
918
00:49:27.719 --> 00:49:28.719
He still got it.
919
00:49:30.199 --> 00:49:33.559
Showtime can still put up a nice little main event
920
00:49:33.599 --> 00:49:39.800
every now and again. Let's see here Jason A Teams
921
00:49:39.840 --> 00:49:44.000
saying let's go Flyers. Hell yeah, brother, hell yeah. Person.
922
00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:47.760
I'm saying, watch all this parody and some other fucking
923
00:49:47.800 --> 00:49:50.519
way we get kings Oilers Part fifty seven.
924
00:49:51.039 --> 00:49:54.880
Oh God, did you imagine that? Put that out there?
925
00:49:55.440 --> 00:49:58.559
I mean, well, here's the thing. If currently with the
926
00:49:58.559 --> 00:50:01.360
way this bracket is looking right now, if we were
927
00:50:01.400 --> 00:50:06.239
to see that happen, it would mean that the Kings
928
00:50:06.280 --> 00:50:10.440
would have to beat the Colorado Avalanche and the Oilers
929
00:50:10.440 --> 00:50:12.679
would have to beat the Mammoth. And I'll be brutally
930
00:50:12.679 --> 00:50:15.920
honest with you, I actually see the Mammoths beating the Oilers,
931
00:50:16.280 --> 00:50:19.599
and I see the Colorado Avalanche beating the Kings. That's
932
00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:21.639
how I'm looking at that right now, looking at those
933
00:50:21.639 --> 00:50:22.320
two matchups.
934
00:50:22.480 --> 00:50:25.039
Depending on how the Pacific minds up, we might still
935
00:50:25.079 --> 00:50:25.480
get that.
936
00:50:26.199 --> 00:50:30.360
Yeah, yeah, possibly possibly. I mean, the Kings are not
937
00:50:30.440 --> 00:50:32.360
out of it by any stretch of the imagination in
938
00:50:32.440 --> 00:50:36.199
terms of division spots. Oh and I just saw an
939
00:50:36.199 --> 00:50:39.400
even sicker move being pulled by the Jackets to even
940
00:50:39.480 --> 00:50:42.039
up their shootout. Man, this game has just turned into
941
00:50:42.039 --> 00:50:47.480
a freaking gun show right now. Freaking coil fucking Charlie Coyle.
942
00:50:47.599 --> 00:50:50.039
When the fuck does he get the fucking hands like that?
943
00:50:50.119 --> 00:50:50.679
What the hell?
944
00:50:51.159 --> 00:50:57.559
Anyway, here, it's it's all hands on deck right right.
945
00:50:59.519 --> 00:51:03.159
You see the fierce battle for like, uh, the remaining
946
00:51:03.239 --> 00:51:07.119
meat off of off of a gazelle from from a
947
00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:10.119
line pride or something like that. Just trying to scrap
948
00:51:10.119 --> 00:51:12.639
on that ship, like I get off the rib bone,
949
00:51:12.840 --> 00:51:14.280
like I get off the leg bone.
950
00:51:15.039 --> 00:51:20.119
Right, I'm hungry, Charlie something.
951
00:51:24.519 --> 00:51:30.960
Oh man, h so this has been all hit the post?
952
00:51:31.159 --> 00:51:35.920
Oh heartbreaker? Right there, he hit the post. The goal
953
00:51:35.960 --> 00:51:40.440
would have wanted to Damn, that's a rough one. That's
954
00:51:40.440 --> 00:51:43.559
a rough one right there. That was fantilly too, even
955
00:51:43.639 --> 00:51:45.599
worse than he tied the game up.
956
00:51:47.480 --> 00:51:50.079
I'd say that's kind of a really important goal though, Maddie.
957
00:51:50.400 --> 00:51:53.679
Yeah, it's still still it's just tough when when you
958
00:51:53.679 --> 00:51:55.960
get that moment in the shootout and team right off
959
00:51:55.960 --> 00:52:01.119
the post. Oh Trevor Van Riemsdyke. Oh no, no goal,
960
00:52:01.400 --> 00:52:04.320
no goal for TVR there. Oh no, I'm sorry it's JVR.
961
00:52:04.480 --> 00:52:08.519
I forgot. TVR is not on that team. He's yeah,
962
00:52:08.559 --> 00:52:09.760
he's on the Canucks.
963
00:52:10.440 --> 00:52:11.480
Grab the umpire.
964
00:52:12.719 --> 00:52:18.480
Yeah, to see JVR is a fourth liner for Detroit.
965
00:52:18.559 --> 00:52:22.199
I'm like, oh man, you're right, but you know he's
966
00:52:22.239 --> 00:52:23.559
hanging on hey, you know.
967
00:52:24.280 --> 00:52:31.360
Yeah, and that does it. The Blue Jackets just won it, Flyers,
968
00:52:32.880 --> 00:52:35.679
they did. I just I was just watching for Dondon's
969
00:52:35.719 --> 00:52:40.239
sake there, but uh yeah, zach Arwinsky coming through with
970
00:52:40.320 --> 00:52:43.719
a snipe and that takes care of that. So there
971
00:52:43.719 --> 00:52:49.039
you go. All right, So Robert saying, I've seen Tocket
972
00:52:49.079 --> 00:52:51.880
since he was in Arizona. He's an okay coach. They
973
00:52:51.920 --> 00:52:56.920
are buying in finally about getting forwards back into play
974
00:52:57.239 --> 00:52:59.320
s JM also saying the Flyers path of the playoffs
975
00:52:59.360 --> 00:53:01.599
has that same when the Eagles made the playoffs the
976
00:53:01.639 --> 00:53:05.800
first time under Reid and McNab. From an excitement standpoint,
977
00:53:06.119 --> 00:53:08.320
that's an interesting comparison right there.
978
00:53:09.039 --> 00:53:10.800
Yeah, but I can see it though, because you know,
979
00:53:10.840 --> 00:53:13.719
it's the first time in a long time. It's i mean,
980
00:53:13.880 --> 00:53:15.960
five years is really that long compared to some of
981
00:53:16.000 --> 00:53:18.480
these other teams. With Detroit, I think it's at seven years.
982
00:53:19.119 --> 00:53:23.599
Buffalo snapped fourteen years, Montreal had like a seven six
983
00:53:23.679 --> 00:53:27.000
or seven year stint, So it's really realistically, it's really
984
00:53:27.039 --> 00:53:31.639
not that long, and it's just it's just good. It's
985
00:53:31.679 --> 00:53:35.599
good to potentially have it back. And to SGM's point, yeah,
986
00:53:35.639 --> 00:53:37.480
it's it really is super exciting.
987
00:53:38.960 --> 00:53:47.400
Yeah, absolutely absolutely, And let's see here, Oh, I might
988
00:53:47.400 --> 00:53:49.519
as well turn on the oilers in Mammoth law mat
989
00:53:49.519 --> 00:53:54.880
it since that might be a first round matchup. Possibly Anyway,
990
00:53:56.159 --> 00:53:59.000
we got Chris saying did Montreal play Washington in the
991
00:53:59.000 --> 00:54:02.800
playoffs this year? Yes? Did, and Montreal did give them
992
00:54:02.800 --> 00:54:05.000
a run for their money. But Washington I think ultimately
993
00:54:05.039 --> 00:54:09.599
won that series in six. If I remember correctly, I
994
00:54:09.639 --> 00:54:12.840
think it wasn't six. That could be wrong on that.
995
00:54:13.840 --> 00:54:15.800
Is it bad that I have feels like the first
996
00:54:15.880 --> 00:54:18.559
time from Foreigner stuck in my head from that last comment,
997
00:54:23.400 --> 00:54:23.960
we can make that.
998
00:54:24.880 --> 00:54:26.800
We're not gonna put that earworm in my head. So no,
999
00:54:26.880 --> 00:54:28.239
I'm gonna be thinking about.
1000
00:54:27.960 --> 00:54:34.320
It going on six years. Boys, it's time that I'm
1001
00:54:34.360 --> 00:54:38.079
telling you this can only be good. I heard a
1002
00:54:38.159 --> 00:54:41.840
quote earlier today, I believe from in Bill Meltzer's group.
1003
00:54:43.320 --> 00:54:45.159
I'm gonna look that up, give them a shot out.
1004
00:54:47.320 --> 00:54:55.960
But talking about the Flyers in terms of this rebuild,
1005
00:54:56.079 --> 00:54:58.639
and it's like you want to see them playing for
1006
00:54:58.800 --> 00:55:04.159
meaningful hockey. This particulate, you know, analysts didn't really see
1007
00:55:04.280 --> 00:55:07.199
the benefit of a total rebuild, you know, sort of
1008
00:55:07.239 --> 00:55:10.280
not that in terms of what is involved with it,
1009
00:55:10.360 --> 00:55:14.840
where you purposely lose in order to increase your draft
1010
00:55:15.119 --> 00:55:19.960
you know stock right, once you have enough guys under
1011
00:55:19.960 --> 00:55:22.760
the hood like the Flyers have, and we're seeing now
1012
00:55:23.119 --> 00:55:28.000
with Barkie bump Uh, you know Porter Martone around the
1013
00:55:28.039 --> 00:55:31.800
horizon of the Oliver Bank, jack Nesbeth. You need places
1014
00:55:31.800 --> 00:55:33.679
for these guys to play. So how many people are
1015
00:55:33.679 --> 00:55:37.480
you gonna draft? It's time to build and see what
1016
00:55:37.480 --> 00:55:41.239
we're seeing right now, And that's that's the credit. And
1017
00:55:41.280 --> 00:55:42.960
like I said, I'm gonna look up who said that
1018
00:55:43.199 --> 00:55:46.719
and the group uh to give credit to because it
1019
00:55:46.800 --> 00:55:49.039
was such just such a fine point and it's just
1020
00:55:49.079 --> 00:55:52.119
so akin to what you want to see. If you're rebuilding,
1021
00:55:52.280 --> 00:55:56.199
you're not just rebuilding the roster, you're rebuilding that hunger
1022
00:55:56.239 --> 00:55:59.639
to win, and you're seeing that and guys playing for
1023
00:55:59.719 --> 00:56:03.119
each there and defending each other, and and it's just
1024
00:56:03.440 --> 00:56:07.320
it's great to see. You're seeing Mitchkoff really ever since
1025
00:56:07.360 --> 00:56:08.840
he got moved back to the right, a lot of
1026
00:56:08.840 --> 00:56:11.320
people have made them seem like right. But I think
1027
00:56:11.719 --> 00:56:14.480
this whole journey of season has been good for him
1028
00:56:14.519 --> 00:56:18.639
because I've this is the hungriest I've seen MM so
1029
00:56:18.719 --> 00:56:21.760
far in his NHL career, and especially we saw that
1030
00:56:22.280 --> 00:56:25.039
in tonight's game as well as against the Bruins. Over
1031
00:56:25.079 --> 00:56:28.920
the weekend. So it's just really encouraging to see I
1032
00:56:29.119 --> 00:56:31.960
challenge these boys to step up and see what you're
1033
00:56:31.960 --> 00:56:36.159
made of in crunch time and win or lose. Man.
1034
00:56:36.440 --> 00:56:38.000
You talk about a team that had what I think
1035
00:56:38.039 --> 00:56:40.239
they were down to three point two percent to make
1036
00:56:40.280 --> 00:56:44.719
the playoffs and they're currently I I you would have
1037
00:56:44.840 --> 00:56:46.559
to think, I don't know what the current is, but
1038
00:56:46.639 --> 00:56:49.039
you'd have to think they're in the sixties by holding
1039
00:56:49.079 --> 00:56:52.079
that spot as well as uh, you know a game
1040
00:56:52.079 --> 00:56:52.880
in hand.
1041
00:56:54.719 --> 00:56:57.199
And yeah, I think you're right. I think it's got
1042
00:56:57.239 --> 00:56:59.519
to be in the sixties for sure. He's always the
1043
00:56:59.559 --> 00:57:01.280
first time I that kind of popped into my head.
1044
00:57:03.320 --> 00:57:06.840
But you said a lot of great things there. You know,
1045
00:57:07.280 --> 00:57:09.880
this is a team where you know they are playing
1046
00:57:09.920 --> 00:57:12.840
for each other. The thing that I will always credit
1047
00:57:13.920 --> 00:57:17.639
John turderelat to doing with this team is creating a
1048
00:57:17.760 --> 00:57:20.719
culture in that locker room that they currently have. They
1049
00:57:20.719 --> 00:57:23.559
are playing for each other. They know, they understand what
1050
00:57:23.599 --> 00:57:25.960
it's what it means to wear the jersey, They understand
1051
00:57:25.960 --> 00:57:28.840
what it means to play you know, flyers hockey and
1052
00:57:28.840 --> 00:57:31.360
and what it means to be a part of this
1053
00:57:31.559 --> 00:57:36.840
organization going out there giving for that effort creating these bonds,
1054
00:57:36.880 --> 00:57:40.840
these brothers, these brotherships that you know that are never
1055
00:57:40.960 --> 00:57:42.800
going to be broken. You know, you you hear guys
1056
00:57:42.800 --> 00:57:45.360
say all the time when guys are traded. We'll use
1057
00:57:45.400 --> 00:57:49.079
Bobby brinkas example. Since Robert brought up David Airchak, who
1058
00:57:49.159 --> 00:57:52.760
is playing fantastic for the Fandoms. By the way, happy
1059
00:57:52.800 --> 00:57:58.000
he signed his two year extension. You know, these guys,
1060
00:57:58.480 --> 00:58:01.880
they understand the roles, they understand what they're supposed to
1061
00:58:01.920 --> 00:58:05.440
do out there. They play for each other. That that
1062
00:58:05.960 --> 00:58:09.159
continues to create a culture, a locker room that players
1063
00:58:09.199 --> 00:58:11.920
want to be in, an organization that's going to draw
1064
00:58:12.039 --> 00:58:16.039
free agents. You know, when they see players like this
1065
00:58:16.320 --> 00:58:20.199
and how they're playing that way, you're gonna have to
1066
00:58:20.239 --> 00:58:22.719
create room. Unfortunately, you're gonna have to see guys go.
1067
00:58:22.840 --> 00:58:24.559
I think Cristo is gonna be an odd man out
1068
00:58:24.559 --> 00:58:26.519
over the offseason. I think there's gonna be a few
1069
00:58:26.559 --> 00:58:29.400
other guys that are gonna be odd man out. But
1070
00:58:29.920 --> 00:58:35.360
it's definitely the culture goes back to Torts and I'm
1071
00:58:35.360 --> 00:58:36.760
always gonna be able to give him the tip of
1072
00:58:36.760 --> 00:58:38.159
the cap. And now I'm gonna always say that this
1073
00:58:38.199 --> 00:58:42.000
is a guy that got this started, and I don't
1074
00:58:42.000 --> 00:58:43.840
think you can really deny it. You know, I think
1075
00:58:44.679 --> 00:58:46.960
I think Tocket's done a solid job. I don't think
1076
00:58:46.960 --> 00:58:48.480
he's been great. I don't think he's been bad. I
1077
00:58:48.480 --> 00:58:53.599
think he's been solid. But you know he's This team
1078
00:58:53.679 --> 00:58:59.800
is created through John Torderella and it's it's it's showing
1079
00:58:59.800 --> 00:59:02.880
in in a locker room, and it's starting to really
1080
00:59:02.880 --> 00:59:05.639
show on the ice too. How these guys really really
1081
00:59:05.639 --> 00:59:06.639
have each other's backs.
1082
00:59:07.960 --> 00:59:15.559
Absolutely absolutely, And we've got Jonathan Harvey saying a great
1083
00:59:15.639 --> 00:59:19.119
job by Flyers, but must win remaining games to secure
1084
00:59:19.159 --> 00:59:22.760
playoff spot. Flyers have least amount of regulation wins among
1085
00:59:22.760 --> 00:59:25.119
the teams behind them, which again was something that you
1086
00:59:25.159 --> 00:59:29.079
were bringing up earlier, Robbie. So yeah, very good point.
1087
00:59:29.719 --> 00:59:31.639
Yeah hit that, liking that. Subscribe to the guys who
1088
00:59:31.719 --> 00:59:37.639
were just charming in tonight, Robert Jonathan, I saw what
1089
00:59:37.800 --> 00:59:39.559
was his gym. I think I saw his name was
1090
00:59:39.559 --> 00:59:42.000
in there, said let's go Flyers. Everybody hit that, like,

Let's go absolutely absolutely love to have you. Oh no, So,
1098
01:00:02.639 --> 01:00:06.519
right now as it stands, gentlemen, you know, this is
1099
01:00:06.760 --> 01:00:10.719
what the playoffs currently look like, obviously barring the results
1100
01:00:10.760 --> 01:00:13.480
of games like between Edmonton and Utah that are currently
1101
01:00:13.639 --> 01:00:17.480
tied at one goal apiece in the first period. The
1102
01:00:17.519 --> 01:00:21.559
playoffs right now in the West, Colorado up against the Kings,
1103
01:00:22.039 --> 01:00:27.000
Dallas and Minnesota, Edmonton and the Mammoth Anaheim and the
1104
01:00:27.039 --> 01:00:30.559
Golden Knights, and McDavid just scored, so the Oilers are
1105
01:00:30.599 --> 01:00:35.800
up to one now in that game, yep, power play goal.
1106
01:00:36.639 --> 01:00:42.079
Tampa Bay and Boston are meeting each other, Buffalo and Montreal,
1107
01:00:43.119 --> 01:00:48.239
and Carolina and Ottawa and the Battle of Pennsylvania Pittsburgh
1108
01:00:48.280 --> 01:00:51.679
and the Flyers. That is the current outlook of the
1109
01:00:51.800 --> 01:00:55.559
NHL bracket. Will that be the same by next week?
1110
01:00:55.800 --> 01:00:59.079
I can almost guarantee you no, because the elites are
1111
01:01:00.400 --> 01:01:03.119
are very tight, so I highly doubt we'll be having
1112
01:01:03.119 --> 01:01:10.119
the exact same looking bracket by next Tuesday. Anyway, So
1113
01:01:11.760 --> 01:01:14.599
is there anything else, gentlemen that you guys wanted to
1114
01:01:14.639 --> 01:01:17.360
throw out there before we signed off for tonight.
1115
01:01:19.480 --> 01:01:23.760
Nope, all right, yeah, I got that information on board.
1116
01:01:23.800 --> 01:01:28.440
Right now, the Flyers are forty eight percent odds to
1117
01:01:28.480 --> 01:01:32.480
hold on to the third seed in the in the
1118
01:01:32.480 --> 01:01:36.559
Metropolitan and then what's funny is that they have a
1119
01:01:36.639 --> 01:01:39.639
six percent chance I believe, or let me get back
1120
01:01:39.639 --> 01:01:42.440
to that this is be a playoff status dot com.
1121
01:01:42.679 --> 01:01:45.519
They have a four percent chance at the eighth and
1122
01:01:46.480 --> 01:01:49.559
eighth seed wild card, and then forty six percent for
1123
01:01:49.679 --> 01:01:51.800
no playoffs, so forty eight So the odds are in
1124
01:01:51.840 --> 01:01:54.519
their favors still for that third slot at forty eight
1125
01:01:54.559 --> 01:01:59.480
percent after tonight's win. And then in terms of the
1126
01:01:59.800 --> 01:02:02.639
high hockey group that I was quoting before, that's Bill
1127
01:02:02.679 --> 01:02:06.599
Meltzer's group, Hockey hot Stove, and they're on Hockey hootstove
1128
01:02:06.679 --> 01:02:10.760
dot com. The article I read today was by Anthony Minngioni,
1129
01:02:11.400 --> 01:02:14.599
and I just love that fresh perspective of where within
1130
01:02:14.639 --> 01:02:18.480
a rebuild rebuild, you rebuild the culture of winning, not
1131
01:02:18.679 --> 01:02:21.880
just the roster. So I love that group. Go follow
1132
01:02:21.960 --> 01:02:25.760

1133
