The Philadelphia Flyers are certainly making waves in the hockey world and within the Metropolitan Division. Why? They're actually winning games now! This week, Bill Matz from the Broad Street Hockey Radio podcast (BSH Radio) jumped on to talk about this Flyers season and what we can expect from the team over the next couple of months. It's a great interview you won't want to miss!
Plus, this week we first discussed the huge trade made by the Sixers front office to acquire Tobias Harris and how it will propel the team in the East. We also talked about how the Porzingis trade affects the Eastern Conference. (2:35)
And we also dove into Eagles safety Rodney McLeod's restructured contract, and how important that is for the team in 2019. (17:15)
We received listener feedback this week about NFL quarterbacks who may be heading to the Hall of Fame, and were asked how we'd rank those players. (20:40)
This week on the Highbrow Segment, we got into a discussion about free agency contracts and why athlete's performances usually decline after signing a huge multi-year deal. (26:25)
On the Lowbrow Segment, we've got another list for you! We gave our top-3 most hated athletes of all-time outside the city of Philadelphia. This is definitely a list that will continue to grow, and we're sure it won't be the last time we do this segment. (39:10)
What we're throwing down on the Table this week is a fantastic interview with Bill Matz from the BSH Radio podcast. We first discussed with Bill how it appeared a tank job was in the works for the Flyers, but that apparently has taken another direction with the team's recent winning streak. Then we discussed Carter Hart's performance in front of the net and how the defense has or has not affected his development. Who might the front office be looking at as the NHL trade deadline looms? Should the NHL get involved with hazing issues within the lower-levels of the hockey world as more news of this becomes prevalent? All of this and much more Flyers talk this week! (58:35)
