For the first time since the 2020 bubble, the Philadelphia Flyers are in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and will play in front of real crowds home and away post-game 82 for the first time since 2018.

How did the Philadelphia Flyers get here after finishing 4th worst in hockey a year ago, losing all but 3 of 15 heading into the Olympic break, and the season-long drama between head coach Rick Tocchet and sophomore winger Matvei Michkov? Charlie & Bill look back on the regular season and discuss how it was Tocchet and Michkov together who led this team out of their January slump and into the postseason.

Plus, a look at Porter Martone, Dan Vladar, and revisiting our preseason predictions.
