Listen "O&B Puckcast Episode #279 Flat Flyers, Rising Prospects with Bill Meltzer"
Episode Synopsis
Isaiah, Chef, and Dan return with a new O&B Puckcast as we welcome Bill Meltzer from flyers.nhl.com and hockeyhotstove.com. On tonight's show, we take a brief step away from the Flyers' on-ice storylines to get our first look at how several top prospects are performing almost a quarter of the way into their seasons. From Porter Martone and Jett Luchanko to Alex Bump and Denver Barkey, we dig into Bill's insights on their early progress. (🚨 We also discuss the Flyers trade of Dennis Gilbert for Max Guenette). We then break down why the Flyers seem stuck on a treadmill — hovering just above mediocrity — and what's preventing them from stringing together strong, consistent play. We also dive into key storylines such as Rick Tocchet's usage of Matvei Michkov, the team's struggles in back-to-backs, Sam Ersson's inconsistency, the 4th line's lack of impact, the timing of a Trevor Zegras re-signing, and more!
