It’s been a wild couple of days in FlyersLand, but the show must go on. The Ottawa Senators are in town tonight, and that’s fitting given that the Sens might be the one organization currently more dramatically on fire than ours. They have a front office as messy as ours, a penalty kill that’s sometimes just as bad, sometimes worse than ours, and an uncertain future on a number of fronts, not just on the ice. What a fun time to be a hockey fan! We were joined by the wonderful Micah Blake McCurdy of HockeyViz.com to get a little insight into what the Senators look like since our last meeting with the team. We discussed:The recent great play of Matt Duchene, and if the Senators will even attempt to hold onto him - or the other star players that need contracts like Mark StoneChris Tierney, and if the possibility of a successful future thanks to rookies on cheap contracts playing great hockey is a real oneEugene Melnyk and his insistence on ruining everything he touchesRon Hextall, because we had to Tonight’s game starts at 7PM on NBC Sports Philly. Should be interesting to see what the boys look like now that they know things are going to be different. Let’s go Flyers! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Here’s what Peter and Jay have for you this time (all time locations are without the opening ad): As I said in the quick pre-show audio, we had a connection issue in the non-interview portion, and you’ll hear some clipping in that section. We figured out the cause and fixed it for the interview segment, so that shouldn’t happen again in the future. Global Series: (00:00 - 10:40) The NHL played two games in Finland, following games in other countries earlier this season. Are these games helping? Winter Classic Location Ideas: (10:40 - 32:33) Speaking of playing games in other locales, where would be some fun, if unrealistic, locations for future outdoor games? Interview: (32:33 - 1:08:33) We talk to the person with likely the highest level of math understanding we’ve ever had on, but our guest Micah Blake McCurdy is also very good at explaining what he knows. We talk about his site hockeyviz.com, and he explains fancy terms like line graphs. Suspension Update: (1:08:33 - 1:12:03) It can be hard to keep track of who is suspended in the NHL. We’ve got you covered. Pettersson Earns the Ragnarok Award: (1:12:03 - END) The young Canuck turned in a 5 point performance the other night. We bestow a special award on him.
