Thank you Jason
Could flyers turn around win cup next year after bad years I seem teams suprise us before I hope flyers do win cup no one expected strangers things have happen before even it not likely.
Ron hextall destroyed this team!
Hey Jason. Love the videos! The one question I have about this team for next year is the possible inability to get a 1C and 1G this offseason. With holes in both of these positions, we could see another bad year from the team. I don’t want this, but if this gives them the chance to get a guy like McKenna (a Crosby esc player), this rebuild will flip within seconds.
Imagine Mich, McKenna, and (whoever they get this year) as franchise players with so much great prospect depth in the organization. Seems fascinating to me.
So sorry about cancer so sorry you going through this so sorry bless you a lot
With Michkov’s elite playmaking but lack of high end speed, what is the ideal centermate for him?
Anthony Stolarz is having a great season in Toronto.
Flyers drafted him in 2012.
Beat those buds tonight Flyers, stay strong and happy my brother. ❤😊
Thank you Jason your looking stronger and sounding better and full of Flyer energy!! Stay positive and strong and you will whip this !! I think tonight the Flyers surprise a few folks, I like them beating Scotty “Hockeys” Leafs 4-3 with TK, MM, Owen and York getting the Flyers goals ! GO FLYERS!!!
I have to say it. Jason – I miss and love your point of view.. your added heavy dose of powerful flavor to us flyers fans. Like real meat in a cheesesteak!!! WE DO love Brian Smith and how he continues the show when you are down for the count and rightfully so, I don't want to know what you go thru. Sending you strength and power for your everyday endurance. Your voice is needed and soothes my pain. Mine isn't anywhere near cancer tho. LOVE YA BROTHER. I love everything you say. Reality is far better than fantasy type of views or microwave. #LetsGoFlyers #SendingHealingPowers #PuckCancer
How much money can we throw at mich marner to come to the flyers and help this power play
This season is only pain.
I hope you are getting better!
Jason, stay strong and positive, fingers crossed! And many thanks for a great podcast 💪
What if we don’t make any big moves this year, then throw a monster offer sheet at bedard next year? Then we have bedard and michkov together forever.
One correction Jason, Rantanan was picked 10th in the 2015 draft which was an extremely deep draft. That's why I mentioned him. Timing is everything.
No Athlete wants to tank. That is out of the question. I' firmly believe that all of the Flyers scouts need to go. Look at what we've done in 5 years for drafting players and what the Habs have done. Our future doesn't look bright.
Due to the recent regular season skid, I started re-watching the 2010 playoff run and the stats comparisons to today are insane.
Huge Flyers fan since 94 when I met Eric Lindros (not having a clue who he was) my family never walked away from something Lindros to send me for most of my childhood. I watched three playoff runs in my childhood vividly but it wasn’t until 2010 when I was living on my own and I watched the entire run. I didn’t watch the flyers regularly until this season began.
Michkov getting drafted and the hype around him definitely peaked my interest and I began listening to the Flyers Talk Pod w/ Jordan (which is great btw) and I just recently found the Flyers Dailies last month. Been loving the content. Keep up the excellent coverage of the Flyers content. Stay Strong Jason!!!

2010 Flyers outperform on almost every single player / aspect of the 2025 Flyers.
2025 Flyers outperform the 2010 Flyers in Penalty Minute discipline, and Konecny slightly outperforms Richards. That’s it.
It’s time to move on from Tortorella and/or his entire coaching staff and replace him with:
Mike Sullivan (Pitt) – Two time Stanley cup winner, four nations head coach for USA, Pennsylvania move would be ideal for him and his family – motivating and not a total over haul moving coast to coast and a fresh start with a talented up-and-coming squad with some changes happening this summer. He wont be taking over the 2024/2025 Flyers – he’ll be coaching the NEW 2025/2026 Flyers squad which has so much potential with Lutchenko, Brink and many more fighting for a spot on an already talented team. This may persuade upcoming FA penguin players/ US born players with depth to sign with Philly.
Thanks for your time. Sorry for the novel. 😂
When do we think Zavragin or Bjarnasson will be able to help us? Luchenko? Bonk?
I think so as well if they had better goaltending and average pp they would be contending for the post season, however Danny B did say the team may take a step back this year.
Everything you say makes sense and I agree with it all. Thanks Jason. Continued good wishes and prayers for your complete recovery. ❤
