MICHKOVMANIA!

Matvei Michkov, for the 3rd time as a teenager, scored the overtime winner for the Flyers to cap off a game that went from boring to dramatic very quickly.

Michkov set up Owen Tippett to open the scoring and that’s all we saw until a busy 3rd period, as the standouts in the game were goaltenders Jordan Binnington and Aleksei Kolosov. That is, until OT.

Charlie & Bill break down the win and the tremendous play of the Russian Rookies.

The Philadelphia Flyers scored a couple of goals on Igor Shesterkin before 4:30 had elapsed in the first period, and they didn’t score again until the Rangers star netminder was on the bench with 28 seconds left, but it was enough to earn the victory!

Bill, Kelly & Charlie break down the win and appreciate Travis Konecny.

I can’t believe what I just saw. The Flyers win in overtime after doing pretty much nothing all game.

Morgan Frost tied the game with 11 seconds left and Sean Couturier won it in overtime, tapping a puck from Travis Konecny by Juuse Saros for the win.

Charlie & Bill discuss the game, and the news and trade rumors swirling about.

Morgan Frost and Sean Couturier gave the Flyers a 2-0 lead in the first period and Emil Andrae netted the first goal of his career before the 30-second mark of the 2nd to put Philadelphia up 3-0 on the Pacific-leading Golden Knights.

But Vegas made the game 3-2 before Matvei Michkov restored the 2 goal lead, but before the 2nd expired Vegas was once again within a goal, trailing 4-3.

Vegas tied it in the 3rd, and despite a ton of late chances for the Orange & Black in the 3rd and throughout OT, Jack Eichel and Ilya Samsonov were too much to overcome in the shootout.

Charlie, Bill & JP break down the loss and the efforts of Michkov, Frost, Farabee & Fedotov.

Matvei Michkov certainly has a flare for the dramatic, scoring the OT winner against Connor Bedard’s Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday afternoon in South Philly.

Bill, JP & Charlie break down the comeback win and the returns to the lineup for the Flyers.

Twenty games into the 2024-25 season, the Philadelphia Flyers are 8-10-2 (.450). Matvei Michkov is leading all rookies in goals and points. Travis Konecny is continuing his scoring pace of the previous 2 seasons. Travis Sanheim looks more and more like a top-pair defenseman. Ivan Fedotov has had his ups and downs.

Beyond that, it feels like we need a lot more time to figure out exactly what to make of some of this team’s younger players.

Charlie & Bill debate passing judgements on Tyson Foerster, Noah Cates, Aleksei Kolosov, Morgan Frost and more!

The Philadelphia Flyers played a fairly solid first 40 minutes against a very good Carolina Hurricanes team, but failure to pull the trigger on some chances came back to bite Philly in the 3rd, as the Canes surged for 3 goals in the first 7 minutes of the final frame to put the game on ice.

Charlie, Bill & Steve break down the loss, and how John Tortorella can use this game to reset his lineup and move forward.

Philadelphia Flyers fans and analysts came into the season with high expectations for a lot of individuals. Most of those individuals were wingers- Matvei Michkov, Tyson Foerster, Joel Farabee, Owen Tippet, and Bobby Brink.

Those wingers have had varying degrees of success, but one constant in Philly’s lineup is the inability of any center to generate any offense.

Charlie, Kelly & Bill discuss the lack of centers in the organization, as well as the injuries and roster questions that have come up over the last few weeks.
