The Pigeon Coop

The Flyers have passed the first round of the playoffs for the first time in eight years, but we didn't know that yet during this episode.

We talk about the power play struggles, goaltending, and what the series had looked like up to game five.

The NHL playoffs are really, actually started now that the qualifying round and round-robin seeding are over. A couple of teams missing out on the playoffs has hockey fans and media reconsidering everything they have said about hockey for forever to make some confusing claims about the playoff format and star players.

The Flyers continue to roll in the Toronto bubble, Rod Brind'Amour gets in trouble, and Connor McDavid might be boring, but that doesn't make him uninspiring. Also, the NHL playoffs aren't uninteresting just because Crosby and McDavid aren't in them. 

Hockey is back and we're talking about the Flyers performance in an exhibition game and going over the Flyers nominees for end of season awards, way after the fact of them being announced. 

New Jersey Native and former ACHL/ECHL player Marc Straub joins us to talk about his experiences as a hockey player, his one-game call up to the AHL, and how he thinks players will be dealing with the season pause going into the playoffs.

We're detailing a few more grudges we've picked up over the past week and talking about hockey before the hub cities.  Aj's social media policies and the Penguins potential bullying issues.

The NHL has finally picked their hub cities and created the most amount of chaos possible with the draft. 

The Flyers are losing a few depth players. Gritty is having his charity run online and we're coming up with ways to make it interesting and more of a team effort.

There are some hockey things happening so we decided to sit down and talk about them. Oskar Lindblom skates with his teammates and that has caused some discourse about the safety of the league and hockey players. There are also repeat incidents of beat writers claiming Lindblom's treatment is done before it actually is.

Aj has a galaxy-brained idea for why multiple sports leagues are insisting on playing in infected hotbed areas, and Brian has an idea for filling a roster when a team is inevitably hit hard by the virus.
