Getting Ready For The Flyers' Future (PST Show #373)

The Philadelphia Flyers have resumed play and have taken to the ice! The NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs are right around the corner, as is the round-robin, and Flyers fans are eager to see how this team performs as we get ready for a bright future as well. This week, Charlie O'Connor from The Athletic Philadelphia and the BSH Radio podcast joined us for a lengthy discussion about what we can expect from this team in the playoffs and the team moving forward overall.But first, we talked about what the worst case scenario may be that would shut down sports again as the pandemic persists. (approx. 8:25)Then we dove into some Sixers talk: what we're currently seeing from Ben Simmons and his 3-point shots; how Embiid and Horford will split time in the playoffs. (approx. 16:25)We then got into some Phillies talk as Vince Velasquez's first outing of the year was anything but stellar, and the bullpen struggled mightily against the Miami Marlins. (approx. 25:40)On the Highbrow Segment this week, we discussed and gave our thoughts on how social media and even sports bloggers may become even more dominant in sports media since traditional reporters aren't able to be in the locker room, interview players face-to-face, and have the access they're used to having. How might this continue to shift the way sports are reported in the future? (approx. 35:30)This on the Lowbrow Segment, we've got a brand new top-3 list dedicated to Jason Peters: who are the top athletes, age 35 or older, to play their respective sport to this day. (approx. 42:00)What we're throwing down on the Table this week is an incredible and in-depth interview with Charlie O'Connor from The Athletic and Broad Street Hockey Radio podcast as we discussed the future of this Flyers team. First, we dove into the details of the Oskar Lindblom deal and why it's good for the Flyers and Oskar. From there, it was a dissection about Joel Farabee and Scott Laughton. Which veteran on this Flyers team will truly step it up in the coming weeks? What kind of experience might Yegor Zamula get during the remainder of this season? All of this and much more this week on the Table! (approx. 57:30)Email us at [email protected] to let us know your thoughts about anything and everything Philly sports.
