  • Almost perfect

    This show is awesome except for the episodes where you have to listen to Kelly give the most casual takes of all time. Every other host is great.

  • Editing a previously bad review

    Charlie isn’t letting X get the best of him anymore, and leaves random societal and political remarks out of everything. Being more offline (so to speak) sounds like it’s done him a bit of good. 5 star show for me fam.

  • Dump the babe

    I have not listened to this show in a while. This Kelly is really terrible and a total downer. Her insight of the sport is deplorable. Her voice is beyond obnoxious. It’s hard to believe she draws a paycheck for her content or lack there of. Bill is your basic babbling clown who rumbles on about ridiculous theories. However, every show needs that an imbecile. Outside of Charlie O’Conner there is really not much substance to this show. Charlie is knowledgeable and provides consistent storylines a... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NHL DRAFT EVE! Garnet Hathaway TRADED To Panthers, Alex Appleyard on Flyers Draft Options | PHLY
Q: How does the retention impact the Flyers' cap and potential moves around Ristolainen and future acquisitions?
The retention slots are limited; with Hathaway, Lawton, and Hayes already retained, any new retention would require July 1 timing and could constrain future negotiations, but the team still has flexibility with calendar-year planning.
NHL DRAFT EVE! Garnet Hathaway TRADED To Panthers, Alex Appleyard on Flyers Draft Options | PHLY
Q: What are your initial thoughts on the Hathaway trade?
The trade is a balanced deal that provides Florida with a veteran in Hathaway's role, while Philadelphia gains additional draft capital and reduces future cap stress by retaining part of Hathaway's salary.
Danny Briere Q&A Reactions: Trading Tippett and Ristolainen, Signing Carlson, Offer Sheets & More
Q: How important is it to add to the new roster to move the team forward without mortgaging the future?
Briere emphasizes adding players smartly, prioritizing long-term fit over short-term fixes and avoiding large, cap-heavy moves that jeopardize future assets.
Mailbag Monday: Rick Tocchet’s Future, Ristolainen/Tippett Trade Proposals, & MORE! | PHLY Flyers
Q: Tim OC asks, why is it portrayed that the Flyers must trade Risto and or Tippett?
The speaker argues that Risto's expiring contract and age make him more tradable for future assets, while Tippett has long-term, cost-controlled value; the Flyers need to consider asset gain and center depth, and there's a preference to move Risto rather than Tippett unless a broader roster upgrade is possible.
POSTGAME: Flyers ELIMINATED From Playoffs In Overtime Despite Foerster & Bump’s Clutch Goals
Q: What stood out most from this series and season for you?
Both hosts and Charlie emphasized Carolina's superiority, but highlighted Flyers' youth movement, Foerster's emergence, Bump's clutch play, and TK's leadership as bright spots; the power play and injuries were major issues that likely shape offseason decisions.
