The Hey, everybody, everybody, how you doing?

Well, that's good.

Welcome to P.H.L.Y. Flyers presented by Bet365.

My name is Bill Mats.

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

Joining me on this beautiful Friday to kick off our 19-day break between Flyers games.

It is Philly's number one hockey beat writer Charlie O'Connor.

What's going on today, Chuck?

William, I think we all.

And by we all, I mean, the players, the coaches, the fans, everyone in the Flyers ecosystem,

we all need a break.

We all desperately need a break.

Other than the people who just like actively enjoy just stirring

crap up and being angry. Like for them, like they wanted to be this unhinged all the time.

But the rest of us like normal people, we need a break. No, Kelly and I were saying last night,

like the only thing that could have made this better is if it was a week earlier. Yeah, exactly.

Like we have all just needed a break from each other. And like not us, me, Charlie Brennan, we're good. But, like, the fan base, the players, the organization, the coaching. Everyone just needs to go away for a little bit. Yes. Like, I feel bad for, for Travis Sandheim. Like, oh, so you and talk are going to be like together.

You know, it's just like, and like not even saying like to disparage either one of them.

Just like everyone needs to be away from each other for a little bit.

And those two actually are going to be together.

So that's kind of funny.

But this leads us right into Charlie, the big takeaway presented by Xfinity.
