On today’s show, Russ and Rachel recap the Philadelphia Flyers 3-1 win vs Nashville Predators. We get into Dan Vladar’s return to form, Matvei Michkov finally getting on the board, giveaways, the chippy action, and more. Then we look at Saturday’s rematch vs the Ottawa Senators. What’s been leading to the uneasiness with the Senators since we saw them last and what can the Flyers do at home to get the better matchups to win this time around? Finally, we kick off our 2026 NHL Draft coverage with an early look at a WHL standout: JP Hurlbert of the Kamloops Blazers. Why did he make the move from the USNTDP to the WHL? And what could he offer the Flyers?

On today’s show, Russ & Rachel look at the aftermath of the victory for the Philadelphia Flyers over the Montreal Canadiens. How are they tackling the issues that allowed the Habs back in the game? How are they rightly or incorrectly trying to get Matvei Michkov going and is the top power play an option for him? 

Then we preview Flyers vs Nashville Predators in the context of a panic selling mode for Nashville. Could they fire Andrew Brunette? Or is a Steven Stamkos trade in the works and could the Flyers be a partner in such a deal? We also check in on Max Westergard at the Five Nations U20 tournament and Porter Martone’s progress so far.
