I'm I'm Hey, everybody, how you doing?

Well, that's good.

Welcome to P.H.L.Y. Flyers presented by your local Ford store and Bet365.

My name is Bill Mats.

I'm your director of Fun and Games, and I am live in the Xfinity Studio this afternoon,

and I am joined today on the Xfinity Mobile Call-In line by former NHL video coach star contributor here all across the All city network and the host of inside the coach's

room on YouTube it is steve peters what's going on today piti well i i guess bill this is it

we're we're getting closer and i i always want to spend my summer's productive getting as much

things done you know around the house and i didn't do that because rookie camp has started and all the to-do list is still there. But I guess I've got two weeks, two weeks to get it done now. But no, it's good. It's good. Things are good out here in Arizona. No, it's a, every offseason, every summer, I'm like, oh, okay, I'm going to read these books. Yep. I'm going to catch up on these shows. I'm going to get these other things done. I did like a third of it, maybe. It's just the way it goes. When it's the off season, you just have this great inclination to do nothing. Yeah, it sneaks up on you. It sneaks up on you really quick.

And now, like, Charlie's on the road.

He's got to overnight. That budget of PHLY, by the way, if he stayed overnight. Did he get a motelers in his car? But the back-to-back games, and it just happens. And they just hit the ice yesterday. Like, dude, they were just on the ice yesterday. Now we're playing a game.

Unbelievable how quickly that's always like just thinking of and I want to get into some of the coaching stuff and aspects of training camp with you. Sure. We were talking about this a little bit yesterday. They report to rookie camp, do all the flyers, prospects and young guys who are still, you know, called her eligible and all that stuff. They hit the ice for the first time with coaches yesterday.

A couple of hours.

Now tonight, they had a morning skate today,

and now tonight they're going to play in a game against another team,

and they'll do the same thing tomorrow.

Like, how does these guys even know, like, okay, this is the forecheck we're doing.

This is what we're doing in the neutral zone.

Like, this is who goes when we say change.

Like, how do they get this information to the players?

It goes beyond that. And first of all, you don't.

Like, it is such simplified hockey.
