Yeah,

and Hey, everybody, how you doing?

Woo!

Welcome to PHLY Flyers Postgame presented by Bet365.

My name is Bill Matts.

I'm your director of Funning Games for the evening.

Joining me live in the Xfinity Studio.

It is Mr. Flyperbole, Steve Jekko.

Steve, you said right before we went live, was this the first easy one this season? It has to be. It really might have been. It has to be. It's never been easy. Even the ones where they've been up big time, it's still been incredibly hard. Like you mentioned the Avalanche game that they impressively won and you shaved your beautiful locks. Yeah yeah and they win seven to three and it was in doubt the whole way yeah i i felt in doubt until

the last second of that game because nathan mckinon is basically a hockey god so this was nice i

mean it was just relaxing and i really think you know so number one, what a day. What great day in South Philadelphia.

Beautiful weather, an opening day win, and a nice encore from the orange and black.

A 5-1 win over those dastardly Chicago Blackhawks.

I returned to the scene of the crime 16 years later.

We got our revenge, damn it.

They're a little bit different these days.

And a little different.

Just a little bit different.

But you want, I mean, I really feel like these last two games sums up exactly who this

Flyers team is because you have that game against the Blue Jackets.

It is an opportunity for the Flyers to catch up in the standings, maybe give you a real chance at making the playoffs. And it's got a little bit of it. They had some buzz. People were talking about them. And of course, they have one of the flattest efforts of the season. And then tonight, when everybody kind of slept on them, they all had a Phillies hangover.
