| 0:00.0 | The Olympic break is over for the Flyers. They are back on the ice here in Vorhees, New Jersey. |
| 0:06.9 | They don't have all of their Olympians back, but this week they did have a bunch of |
| 0:11.1 | HL prospects getting an early taste of NHL action. I'm Charlie O'Connor, the PHLY Flyers and |
| 0:16.7 | PHLY Sports. These are your flyers post-practice notes. So this was actually the third day. |
| 0:22.0 | The Flyers have been back on the ice here in Vorhees. They had a full week off last week, |
| 0:27.3 | but this week, even though they don't play in games until next Wednesday and Thursday, |
| 0:32.2 | they were back on the ice for practice. They're just back getting in the swing of things and |
| 0:35.5 | getting ready for that final third of the NHL season. Now, none of the Olympians were on the ice today. The Flyers have quite a few of them. |
| 0:42.0 | Travis Sandheim, Dan Vladar, Rast was the rest of the line and then head coach Rick Tocke. All of them were |
| 0:47.6 | absent again today. Dan Vladar's Chequia team actually did lose yesterday to Team Canada in a devastating overtime loss. They really played them tough. |
| 0:57.4 | But Vladar is not back yet. I assume today's probably a travel day. We were told by Flyers |
| 1:02.3 | assistant coach Todd Reard and that Vladar almost certainly will be on the ice for one of the weekend |
| 1:06.1 | practices, whether that's Saturday or Sunday. They're not practicing on Friday. They're going to be off |
| 1:09.9 | that day. But it'll just depend on whether they feel like Vladar needs a day off after travel or if he's ready to get back on the ice. Aside from the Olympic absences, though, everyone else was on the ice with one exception. Garnet Hathaway and Todd and told us that Hathaway is just a bit under the weather. He's sick and they don't want him infecting the rest of the team going into this final third of the season. |
| 1:31.1 | So he was told to stay away from the facility. But the expectation is he'll be back this weekend as well. |
| 1:35.8 | The rest of the team, though, was out there. And it was a very fun, active, spirited, energetic practice from the group. |
| 1:43.6 | Denver Barkie was flying around in particular. But really just seemed like the guys are happy to practice from the group. Denver Barkey was flying around in particular, |
| 1:45.6 | but really just seemed like the guys are happy to be on the ice. It kind of has served as |
| 1:49.5 | something of a mini training camp as they prepare for that late stretch of games. But as noted, |
| 1:55.1 | the guys were keeping it light. New housemates, Denver Barkey and Trevor Zegers were doing |
| 1:59.5 | some post-practice work together. |
| 2:01.3 | A lot of guys were laughing it up. |
