It's Up And Down For The Flyers (PST Show #337)

The Philadelphia Sports Table | Philly Sports News & Views

The Philadelphia Flyers are off to an interesting 2019-202 season. We've seen the good. We've seen some bad. It's been up and down for the new head coach, but there are still positive signs that this will be a successful Flyers season. Joining us this week to get into it is Brooke Destra from NBC Sports Philly. We discussed expectations and more surrounding the Flyers' up and down season.
But first, we dove into a ton of Sixers talk as the team has dropped two games in a row. Ben Simmons is injured. Tobias Harris has been consistently...good. And should the Sixers pay the luxury tax next season? (approx. 4:00)
We then discussed how the Eagles are brining back Jordan Matthews, waived Andrew Sendejo, and what has happened to talent evaluation within the Eagles front office. (approx. 16:00)
This week on the Highbrow Segment, we continued with Eagles talk, and how we have questions concerning the Eagles medical staff and how they have handled players' injuries over the years. To what extent should medical staffs on professional sports teams be scrutinized when pro athletes play at an intense and high level?(approx. 27:15)
Then on our Lowbrow Segment, the guys gave each other "Cohost Questions" where they asked each other random sports and non-sports related questions. (approx. 38:20)
What we're throwing down on the Table this week is an interview with one of the most positive and optimistic Flyers fans out there, Brooke Destra from NBC Sports Philly. Have we actually seen a positive start and spark to the Flyers season, and what affect does the new coaching era have on these players? Why do the bottom six continue to struggle? How can Shayne Gostisbehere get back to his normal style of play? And what should expectations be for Carter Hart in front of the net during his sophomore season? All of these topics and much more this week on the Table. (approx. 50:30)
