Love Philly: Flyers Edge Penguins 3-2 in Game 1, Mark Recchi on Playoffs

Love, Philly is LIVE to celebrate a massive night for Philadelphia hockey! Playoff hockey is back in Philadelphia! The Flyers opened their Eastern Conference First Round series with a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins at PPG Paints Arena on Saturday night. In their first playoff game since 2020, the Flyers showed resilience and poise, with Travis Sanheim scoring the go-ahead goal midway through the third period and 19-year-old rookie Porter Martone netting the game-winner with just 2:37 remaining. Despite Evgeni Malkin's 68th career playoff goal for Pittsburgh, the Flyers held strong, getting stellar goaltending and timely scoring to steal Game 1 on the road. This was a statement win for Rick Tocchet's crew against their biggest rivals. 🏒Special Guest: Mark Recchi! Three-time Stanley Cup champion and 2017 Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Mark Recchi joins the show to break down playoff hockey. Recchi, who became one of the top scorers in NHL history despite being considered undersized and not an elite skater, shares: • What makes playoff hockey in Philadelphia unlike anywhere else • His insights on the Flyers-Penguins rivalry • How young players like Martone and Michkov should approach their first playoffs • The mentality needed to win close games on the road • His own journey from overlooked prospect to Hall of Famer We'll also discuss: • The key moments from Game 1 (Sanheim's clutch goal, Ristolainen's playoff debut) • What to expect in Game 2 (Monday, 7 PM in Pittsburgh) • How Dan Vladar's performance sets the tone for the series • The city's reaction to this huge road win This is more than hockey—it's Philadelphia. The fight, the belief, the never-say-die attitude that defines us. #LovePhilly #Flyers #NHLPlayoffs #MarkRecchi #FlyersVsPenguins #PhillySports #PlayoffHockey #LetsGoFlyers #StanleyCup #HockeyHallOfFame #PhiladelphiaFlyers Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
