We're back from an extended vacation, shaking off some rust and warming up for the season by talking about some stuff we missed while we were away. We make fun of Seattle's Draft Day and their failure to save Marc-Andre Fleury from becoming a villain once again. And we have some fun with the Flyers scheduled giveaways for the season while Brian que…

The Flyers probably aren't worth watching anymore so we're gonna talk about what would make them better in the future. Questions about the coaching staff, goaltending, and who needs to be moved in the off-season fill this one up. It's hard to grit your teeth and sit through another season of patient front office guys, especially after Hextall, but …

You can hear Ryne exasperatedly rubbing his temples while talking about the team in this one. There are so many things to complain about, which makes this team the same as it's been for far too long.

Ryne gets mad at the league's use of points percentage to determine standings. The Flyers record is good, but they don't look good at all. In fact, they've looked so bad that Alain Vigneault decided to bench Travis Konecny to send a lesson to the underperformers. Aj misses a reference, we talk about the physicality of the lineup with Sam Morin on t…
