Flyers Daily with Jason Myrtetus : We drop the puck on another week of Flyers hockey but not before looking back on a fascinating week that was as Bill Meltzer joins for his weekly visit. We discuss how the Flyers have been able to win games in a variety of different ways with a detailed look at the play of Dan Vlader, Sean Couturier, Matvei Michkov, Trevor Zegras, Cam York and more. We also discuss the identity of the team through a quarter of the season and how this Flyers team has turned the shootout into a winning formula.

Bobby Brink's experiment with Coots and Mish didn't work; I'd like to see him on the 4th line to bring some speed and energy… Foerster ,Michkov and Couturier could be an epic line…i hope Taco will try this combinaison at some point… i dont know if you notice but Brink has been removed from the shooter's list in the shootout, maybe it mean nothing, but maybe it mean something…will see…
It's slowly getting better.
Happy with the job Tocchet is doing and happy with the way the team is playing.
They don't get rattled getting down 2 goals.
And the biggest thing…
Goal Tending is there.
Sorry to hear about Kevin Dineen.
Get well wishes to the Dineen family.
Great discussion gentlemen.
I’m excited about this team !
Best Flyers show on YT. Especially Mondays w Bill.
I needed this episode. You fellas made me feel a bit better about Michkov turning the corner defensively. I thought he buckled down after his line lost the trailer on the Devil's first goal.
You can not understate how important SC14 and CD22 are to this team. These smart 2 way centers allow 39 and 46 to go out and do their thing and the Flyers team defensice structure will remain intact. Our offense is going to be generated from our wings. Martone and Bump are coming to join 39,46,11,and 71. We need SC14 and CD22 to continue to do what they are doing AND the kids like Jett and Nesbitt need to develop into their replacements.
Love my Mondays here.
Good thoughts out to Kevin Dineen. He is a very nice man and was one heck of a fierce hockey player.
Couturier on the 4rth line is completely asinine on this team. They dont have good enough centers. Is he a 1 or 2 center on a cup contender ? Hell no, but on this team he has to be in the top 6. Its not even a question. They have a bunch depth centers right now and no top ones so it is what it is until they upgrade
Loveeeee Jason giving these miserable fans a talking to!!!
The rebuild is going fine. And we did not have to go through the seasons of total points in the 40's and 50's that the Ducks and Sharks fans had to endure. Tocchet is surprisingly a cerebral coach that can communicate. Take a quick stock of what we have and what's coming and you cannot help but be excited.
I noticed with Michkov that he seems to take shorter shifts than his line mates. I have a feeling this might be personal preference to stay fresh and not the coach telling him to get off the ice first. Everyone crying about his ice time should instead look at his shifts per game. Of course there are some games where it's the coach's decision and he'll get less shifts but just look at Saturday's game vs the Devils: 19 shifts for 12:57 TOI compared to Konecny's 19 shifts for 17:27 TOI. I know some of that is because of the PK but I'm curious if Michkov is strategically conserving energy right now. It appears to be working as he's been looking stronger for the full game.
Put brink back with cates and tk back with Michkov and coots, I don’t love Michkov and coots together but I think that trio makes sense with how the zegras line has played. But brink fits better with cates than with the coots line
I’m loving this! Rick Tocchet and his special team coaches are really bringing great strategies to the team. Last season was rough, so I love seeing this young team grow their skills. Trevor Zegras is on fire and is a genius at the Shootout. Sean Couturier has 4 goals, and it looks like he's defending as well as he was after his back injury.
Forester looks like legit 35+ G guy and michkov has 5pts in last 5 games.
Let's go flyers! Beat the penguins tonight
this team is really fun to watch right now and I fully welcome any "fans" with insane views like "fire the coach" or "WhY aRen'T tHeY tAnKinG?1" to start watching the buffalo sabres. at least the outrage will make sense if you are watching that team.
They to give Garnet Hathaway some healthy scratches.
Kevin Dineen, you do not walk alone in this battle my friend Elbows up to you and your family, Go Flyers go 😊
When was the last time The Flyers won on The Wednesday before Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and The Saturday after Black Friday?
Only thing I want them
To try is Mitch and z on the same pp just to see if it works out but also there power plays been decent so I wouldn’t touch it
Maybe we shouldn't be reading the comments. Whats been happening the last few episodes is a mischaracterization of arguments with no chance for rebuttal. It might be more useful to maybe address the argument, but not the individual. Too emotional recently
Flyers family all of us the Fans!!! Be 💪 Mr. K. D. ❤❤🙏🙏🙏.
