Is the Philadelphia Flyers Five Forward Power Play Working? Plus, Our Lehigh Valley Phantoms Report!



On today’s show, Russ & Rachel discuss the five forward power play the Philadelphia Flyers have been running recently. Is the unit of Matvei Michkov, Travis Konecny, Sean Couturier, Tyson Foerster, and Bobby Brink working? What could they be better at, and would we keep it going?

Then we give our Lehigh Valley Phantoms Tuesday report, including how the team clinched the playoffs, the overall team performance and standout players for the week including Alexis Gendron. We look at Jett Luchanko’s second week in action, the debut of Alex Ciernik, the continued stellar work by Parker Gahagen in net, and the march to the AHL playoffs.

  1. 5 years no playoffs ridiculous this is the second time I've gone thru this crap COME ON DANNY SHOW ME SOMETHING POSITIVE

  2. No, the 5-forward idea is just a gimmick. Assume they win the face-off & get puck possession. They SHOULD have it for almost the entire powerplay with that king of manpower advantage. BUT NOT THIS TEAM. They still get out hustled, out possessed, out shot, & out scored. POWERPLAY & GOALIE ARE TERRIBLE

  3. Rachel and Russ — I was at the Phantoms and Hershey game… Gendron is extremely good. Top notch speed, elite shot… He'd have the best shot on the Flyers if he was on the team. The goal he scored was unreal. Skated past the d-pairing, and sniped it top corner… Could we have our own Jesper Bratt type of steal here? I think so, he is electrifying. We can forget about Tuomaala now, Gendron has left him in the dust.
