The Hey, everybody. Hey, everybody, how you doing?

Well, that's good.

Welcome to PHLY Flyers live at the flyers charity carnival

we are presented by bet 365 we are in the xfinity mobile studio in the xfinity mobile arena it all

works out today my name is bill mats I'm your director of Fun and Games.

Joining me here in the Xfinity Mobile Studio, it is Broad Street Hockey Zone Kelly Henkel and

Philly's number one hockey beatwriter Charlie O'Connor. And joining us at the table as we speak.

It is Flyers president, president of Comcast Spectacore. Dan Hilfordi, always a pleasure to see you,

Dan. How are you today? Well, Bill, it's good to see you guys, and Kelly, I'm really happy to see you

again, and I run into this guy all the time. There's nothing I can do about that. I'm sorry.

He's so happy every time he sees me. I am. I am. There's no reason not to be, right? Exactly. Well, thanks for having me. Of course. Absolutely. Absolutely, Dan. We love talking to you every year. We love getting to participate in this every year. It's for a great cause and it is a great

legacy. And that's always, I think, how I like starting this conversation with you. Putting your

own stamp on things versus continuing the legacy of Ed Snyder started this event so many

years ago. How do you feel about that? Well, I'll tell you, it's, I don't look at it as putting my own stamp on. I look at it as

coming at it from my perspective, but building off the incredible foundation that Ed Snyder started

and all of us have continued over the years. I think my stamp is more about making sure that we go at this with a spirit of

enthusiasm, spirit of excitement, and always trying to entertain and be close to the fans that we

serve day in and day out. Is it, we're riding the roller coaster of the season this year.

Are we?

Oh, we're on it, Dan. We're riding it. I'm trusting. I get it. I'm sorry, Bill. On the show yesterday, I said, like, in between the first and second, there was like a clear change in the way the team was playing. And we were joking around. You know what they said? What was said in the locker room is, we got to talk to everyone tomorrow. We got to be up and close. Do you feel a pressure like around the team when this

is coming or is it kind of two separate entities? It's today's a fun day and the season is what it is

on the other side. Today is a fun day. And yes, the season is there, but, is there, but it's never far away from the surface.
