    HOPE! The Draft Lottery is tonight and Matvei Michkov is wearing a Flyers shirt! | PHLY Sports

    Man, it’s been rough around here for a while. Flyers fans on social media were whipped into a frenzy on Tuesday morning when Matvei Michkov posted a video to his instagram story deadlifting in a Philadelphia Flyers t-shirt. Yup, we’re a desperate bunch.
    And with the NHL Draft Lottery tonight, and the Flyers holding a slim possibility of nabbing a top-4 pick, it’s a day of hope on Broad Street.
    Charlie, Kelly & Bill discuss the lottery and Michkov, as well as the beginning of the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs and the announced Hart Trophy finalists.

    Sean Couturier hires a new agent, and Steven Stamkos is a free agent!

    Sean Couturier hires a new agent, and Steven Stamkos is a free agent!

    It’s a Tuesday-Newsday for Bill, Charlie, and Kelly on today’s episode, with several different headlines dominating the NHL and the Philadelphia.
    After Sean Couturier‘s agent spoke out against John Tortorella’s treatment of his client, and some pretty poignant words by Torts in response, Captain Coots has now hired a new agent. What does it mean for his tenure in Philadelphia and relationship with his head coach?
    Plus, the speculation begins! The Tampa Bay Lightning were eliminated by the Panthers on Monday, perhaps ending Steven Stamkos’ time with the franchise that drafted him.
    We’ve also got a Stanley Cup Playoff update, and a little Matvei Michkov discussion!

Pretty Good

Casual listener/reader from the BSH but have been impressed with this podcast and the hosts. They’re not perfect but can foresee them getting there and soon. I will continue to listen and engage. Keep it up👍

This show is great for me!

Gave up watching games when they chased out Kate. Mostly because the Organization doesn’t care about hockey. But I love hockey. This year I didn’t watch or listen to a single game but caught every episode of Phly Hockey Podcast. I like the thoroughness . I like the rants. I like the off the wall opinions. Well done.

Charlie O’Connor

The only reason to listen to this podcast is to get Charlie O’Connor’s input and analysis. He’s professional, knowledgeable, and articulate, and he’s bogged down by the rest.
I’ve listened on and off over the years to BSH, and I tuned in most of this year, and the rest of the crew are just insufferable. They’re your basic, whiny fans who are fortunate enough to have a mic in front of them. None of them actually know anything about hockey outside of the Flyers, and it constantly shows. They’ve been doing this or some iteration of this show for long enough, you’d think they’d have grown a bit by now.
Unfortunately, this is where Charlie is now, and it’s the only place to listen to him, so I will continue skipping through each show until he is present.
Oh, and change the intro. Every time I’m welcomed and greeted to the show, I have to stop the impulse to turn it off it sounds so bad.
