The playoffs are underway, so the gang takes this golden opportunity to talk less about the Flyers and more about everybody else. The Flyers can't totally be avoided, though, and so the gang weighs in on Briere and Tortorella's recent media availability and what kind of hints we might be getting about how their dynamic as coach and GM will work.
The Flyers are boring and will do nothing and the gang has really said all there is to say about Chuck & The Boys' offseason. So instead it's the return of Ice Sport Radio, with a full rundown of the Eastern Conference as currently constructed -- who got better, who got worse, and how things can be expected to shake out during the 2022-23 hockey season.

In light of the NHL making itself the biggest news in sports this week, the gang has resurrected Ice Sport Radio to dive into the league's plans to return, the draft lottery format, and how Gary Bettman's lockout-riddled tenure as GM has robbed us of, perhaps, seeing the greatest of all-time get his due.

The season is in full swing -- well, unless you're the Flyers or the Rangers -- and the gang kicks things off by taking a look at our very own Metropolitan Division. Are the Penguins cooked?

We're three games into the the Stanley Cup Playoffs, so it's time for some takes. But not before some initial thoughts on new Flyers head coach Alain Vigneault. Once we get to the teams actually playing games we discuss if the Islanders are #ActuallyGood, what kind of abject failure the Lightning are about to be considered, and whether Ovechkin did anything wrong by fighting a teenager. There's some other good stuff in there too, so much that I can't even remember it all. So check out the brand new Ice Sport Radio for all that hockey goodness. Learn more about your ad choices.

There's a week to go before the trade deadline, and the biggest move to discuss is Cam Talbot for Anthony Stolarz.

After the obligatory Flyers update, we dive into the Metropolitan Division, which doesn't seem to be settling out the way we all expected at the start of the season. With this summer's stacked free agent class, it's worth wondering why NHL GMs simply refuse to utilize the offer sheet process, but they do. Always. Additionally, we talk about Alexander Ovechkin's continuing dominance, the floundering Pittsburgh Penguins, the Patrik Berglund drama in Buffalo, and the (possible?) end of Jeff Carter's career.
