Advertise on podcast: O&B Puckcast - A Philadelphia Flyers Podcast

The 2026 Philadelphia Flyers have reached the NHL postseason for the first time in six years. Isaiah, Chef, and Dan are joined by Bill Meltzer (flyers.nhl.com, hockeyhotstove.com) to break down how the Flyers went from a 3.8% playoff probability one month ago to finishing with 98 points and securing third place in the Metropolitan Division, setting up a first-round matchup with their archrival, the Pittsburgh Penguins. The panel examines how the Flyers turned a season that once looked headed for the draft lottery into a remarkable comeback, highlighting key turning points, coaching decisions, and the factors that reshaped expectations for the franchise. Central to the surge were the unexpected return of Tyson Foerster, the emergence of young contributors such as Porter Martone, Matvei Michkov, Denver Barkey, Alex Bump, and Jamie Drysdale, and the steady presence of team MVP Dan Vladar in goal. In the show's final segment, Anthony DiMarco of DailyFaceoff.com joins to provide his insider perspective on how the Flyers pulled it off, the league-wide reaction to their surge, and what to expect in the playoff series against Pittsburgh. He also breaks down the matchups and offers his predictions alongside the panel.   Photo credit: Michael Reaves   Catch the Puckcast livestream on YouTube, X and Facebook, crafted for Flyers Faithful.

Isaiah, Chef, and Dan return with the Flyers riding a 14-4-1 stretch into a playoff spot with five games remaining in the season. The team's improved defensive play, along with an infusion of new faces led by rookie Porter Martone and the return of Tyson Foerster, has pushed the Flyers closer to their first postseason berth since 2020. The panel recaps the three games since the last episode before being joined by Anthony DiMarco of DailyFaceoff.com to assess the team's playoff chances, Martone-mania, the perception of fans being overprotective of Matvei Michkov, the Jiricek signing, the struggling power play, and the offseason implications of a potential playoff berth.
