It was pretty much over after the first period. Victor Hedman scored 1:50 into the game, and the Tampa Bay Lightning never looked back. After 20 minutes, the Bolts were up 4-0, Sam Ersson had been pulled for Felix Sandstrom, and John Tortorella was ejected after some questionable calls by Wes McCauley & crew that led to a pair of power-play goals in the first.
Bill, JP, and Charlie break down the disaster, which began with only having 5 healthy defensemen due to Egor Zamula missing the contest with an illness, and really never got any better for Philly.

It’s D-Day! As the march towards next month’s NHL Entry Draft continues, we’re breaking down the defensemen on today’s show.
Cam York and Travis Sanheim both had breakout seasons for the Flyers, while Jamie Drysdale, Emil Andrae and others still have the shine of promise and potential. But there are no #1 defensemen on Philly’s current roster, and the 2024 draft has a lot of high-end D prospects.
Charlie & Bill discuss which blueliners might be available for the Flyers at 12, as well as with the other three (maybe) top-51 picks.

PHLY Flyers Podcast | Philadelphia Flyers NHL Draft Preview: Zeev Buium, Carter Yakemchuk and the Defense Prospects

Let’s get into the 2024 NHL Entry Draft! On today’s show, Charlie and Bill are beginning the draft process. The Philadelphia Flyers will draft 12th in the first round, as well as have one of the final four picks in the first round as well, as a result of the Florida Panthers reaching the conference final.
Philly may have a pair of second round picks as well, a compensatory pick (#51) as a result of not signing Jay O’Brien, and potentially #36 from Columbus, but the Blue Jackets have until the end of the first round to let the Flyers know if they’re surrendering this year’s or next year’s second rounder.
With a possible 4 picks in the top 51, Philadelphia has a chance to fill a ton of roster holes, and there isn’t a bigger hole than at center. Today, Charlie & Bill are breaking down the center prospects the Flyers may have their eye on.
