Episode 215 featuring Alex Lyon

Riley Cote and Derek Settlemyre start the show discussing their men’s league game, our recent tailgate, and the Flyers Warriors Gala. They also dive into the Flyers recent stretch of games, Trevor Zegras performing above expectations, Owen Tippett’s slump, and Deslauriers’ fight against Xhekaj. Before our interview, we discuss the crazy no-goal call between the Predators and Wild, The Swede of Philadelphia documentary, and Alex Ovechkin scoring his 900th career goal and Jordan Binnington trying to keep the puck. Current Buffalo Sabres goalie and former Flyer Alex Lyon joined us! Alex gives us his thoughts on the skill in today’s game, the wake up call changing teams provides, dealing with pressure as a goalie and facing adversity as a young player. We go on to talk about how he’s enjoying playing in Buffalo, playing for Lindy Ruff, and the young core of the Sabres. Moving along we discuss his first NHL win and starting his NHL career with the Flyers, Michal Neuvirth’s injury history and how good he was when he was healthy, making 94 saves in the legendary Phantoms 2018 5 overtime game *longest game in AHL history*, and winning the Calder Cup, flipping off the camera, and getting suspended from the incident. Wrapping up we talk about his 2023 Stanley Cup Finals run with Florida losing to Vegas, playing with Sergei Bobrovsky, playing for Paul Maurice, playing in Detroit, being teammates with Patrick Kane, and Dominik Hasek being Lyon’s favorite player growing up.
