About this episode

The episode discusses the Flyers' victory over the Penguins and various aspects of playoff hockey.

Tommy and I have a lot of thoughts on the Flyers beating the Penguins, and so we wanted to do a show to spell those out. We did that and more including: 4:30: The Flyers won a series! 16:00: The Flyers did playoff hockey better than the Penguins, and here’s how 20:00: Do they have a decent chance to beat Carolina? 31:00: A respectable Flyers blue line 35:45: The Michkov discourse 50:00: Habs-Lightning talk 1:06:10: Oilers-Ducks talk (are the Oilers out yet? You’ll know when you listen to this!) And much more. Enjoy the show! Thanks for reading Whyhockey Periodical! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.
