The Philadelphia Flyers just could not overcome a special teams deficit on Thursday night in Detroit, giving up three power play goals as well as a short-handed goal in their loss to a desperate Red Wings squad.

Porter Martone showed up, scoring and picking up a primary assist in front of his Michigan State teammates in the crowd, but there weren’t many other bright spots for Philly, outside of the Buffalo Sabres beating the Columbus Blue Jackets in regulation to ensure the Orange & Black hold their playoff spot for another day.

Charlie & Bill discuss the playoff implications of this loss, as well as Dan Vladar getting pulled for Sam Ersson, Travis Konecny’s disappearing act, and much more.

Bill & Charlie discuss Tocchet’s impact, as well as the integration of rookies Alex Bump, Porter Martone and Denver Barkey into the lineup.

The Philadelphia Flyers needed just one point to lay claim to the third seed in the Metropolitan Division, and they got that, taking a 1-1 tie into overtime.

With new additions like Porter Martone, Denver Barkey, and Alex Bump for the Philadelphia Flyers, GM Danny Briere suddenly has his hands full with young, promising talent to pair with Russian phenom Matvei Michkov – who added a goal and 2 assists to his impressive resume against Ilya Sorokin and the New York Islanders.

As these prospects have played in meaningful, playoff-type, championship-level games in their development, Michkov really hasn't due to Russia's KHL rules, thus questioning how much impact and experience Matvei Michkov has in these types of high-pressure situations and preparing for the NHL's Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Bill and Charlie of the PHLY Flyers Podcast discuss the Mad Russian's impact for a young Flyers team, and how this important stretch of this season will not only mean a lot for the team, but for Michkov's offseason as the Flyers fight in the Eastern Conference and Metropolitan Division.
