On today’s show, Russ & Rachel discuss the announcement that Flyers goaltender Carter Hart is on indefinite leave. We talk about the effect his absence will have on Flyers goaltending and how it might have impacted last night’s loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. We also get into the Lightning power play, the game strategy, Olle Lycksell’s efforts, Jamie Drysdale’s first goal as a Flyer, and more! Then we turn to Bobby Brink and what he needs to do in Lehigh Valley to get back up to the Flyers. Plus your mailbag questions on Zayde Wisdom, Flyers college prospects, and more!

Can we get back to the re-build now???
I’d be okay with picking up Xhekaj from the Habs as a much cheaper defensive tough bottom pairing guy if the plan is to move Seeler and eventually Risto.
He’d be fine as a 6 and without Seeler and Risto this is a very soft D group on the smaller side.
To clarify. I didn’t mean Seeler with Bonk as I don’t see Seeler as part of the long term plan. And I think Bonk is a good 2-3 years away.
I meant for the rest of this season have Sanheim York together and Seeler with Drysdale. At least until trade deadline then see who gets moved, who if anyone, comes in and reevaluate the pairs for the rest of the season then.
I meant in the future when Michkov comes over and the team is ready to compete I see Drysdale and Bonk at that time as the top 2 RH D which would require Sanheim to move back to the left side to stay in the top 4.
Is he being investigated for a 2018 sexual assault on Canada jr team ? That’s the rumor
Three Defensemen on the Ice at 6 against 5 🤷
If the Flyers and Phantoms play different systems, there how does sending Brink down help him work on the areas he needs to improve on? Other than a confidence boost I’m not sure there’s a benefit.
Everyone knew or knows why he isn't with the team
Russ you should share your coaching credentials with us since you are so critical of the Flyers coaching staff
The problem with their current D-men is that NONE of them is of true 1st caliber. They have 6 guys serviceable for the 2nd & 3rd pair, and Stall who shouldn't even be on the team. And another half dozen on the Phantoms, maybe a year or 2 away, but no real 1st pair studs.
At 5 ft 6 inches, 155 lbs, Brink is a novelty in the NHL. Smaller than Atkinson, Gaudreau, or Briere so let's not start that comparison. He will have to become a speed or sniper type player to survive getting injured. I'm not sure that will be possible in a Torts' D-first system.
Thanks for getting to my question.
Did not think you would and was a bit shocked to hear my name – thank-you.
Carter hart isn’t leaving because of the flyers it’s because he’s being investigated by London police for sexual assault charges and might get arrested soon.
