Hey, everybody, how you doing?

Well, that's good.

Welcome to PHLY Flyers presented by Bet365, where winning is everything.

My name is Bill Mats. I'm your director of Funning Games for the evening.

Joining me live in the Xfinity studio,

as he says goodbye to Voorhees for the final time of 2025-26.

Philly's number one hockey beat writer, Charlie O'Connor,

you shed a tear today when you wave goodbye

to the Flyers Training Center.

Not a single tier.

You're getting on 295, like, I'm going to miss this. Also, we're not going to be away from a flight at all. No, it's like two months. It's not even that. It's a month. Oh, right, because the draft is remote again. Yeah. Are they going, are they? So they always do a pre-draft meeting where we get access to both Breyer, but primarily it's Brent Flair who runs the draft. That's always a week and forth the draft and that's only about a month away. So it's really not going to be that long until I'm back in Borees at least for, you know, a couple one-offs. And then there's, what? You know, then there's, then there's the draft, then there's development camp.

And I'll be there.

That's in what?

A month and a half. So, yeah, because that's right after the draft. We're so used to there not being playoffs that I think we still have in our heads. Like, oh, we got a big break. We really don't because they made the playoffs and not only made the playoffs, they lasted two rounds.

So it's mid-May already, Bill.

I got news for it.

Yeah, the draft is, what, June 26th is the first round. Stay tuned for draft party details. All I know is, we're doing one. But I'm looking at the wrong camera. All I know is, we're doing one. I was like, how come I'm not looking at myself? I was like, oh, okay. It's been three years. I'll figure it out eventually. But yeah, June 26th is the first round. So yeah, we're like, what, six weeks away from the draft? Not that far away. That's why? I got news to worry, guys. I'm not going to know that much about these players this year. Who cares? We're drafting it only 22.

And it's pretty far down the list.

You know what? But this is where they do their best work. This draft spot, like Simone Gagne, Claude Jureux, Scott Lawton, what's it? Travis Kineckney. Like, they're awesome in the 20s. it's like the top half of the draft where we're like, what the hell are they doing? It's been better lately. Let's be better later. Yeah. Anyway, before we get into today's show, I have to remind you all, speaking of it being summer already, 1 p.m. shows start Monday, May 18th, this coming Monday. We're on at 1 o'clock, Monday to Friday, 1 to 2-ish.

You know, we like to go to overtime.

But mark your calendars.

Our show no longer at 4.
