May 5, 2026 · 33 min · Ep 232

The Flyers pushed the Carolina Hurricanes to the limit in Game 2… and still came up short.

Scott and Bill break down a heartbreaking 3-2 overtime loss that puts the Flyers in a 2-0 series hole heading back to Philadelphia. Despite jumping out to an early lead and dominating stretches, including overtime, the Flyers couldn’t solve a red-hot Frederik Andersen.

The guys dive into:

  • What the Flyers did right (and why it still wasn’t enough)
  • The difference between a contender and a team still growing
  • Costly penalties and missed opportunities
  • Key performances, including a standout night from the Flyers’ goalie
  • Why this loss might actually be a sign of progress
  • What needs to change in Game 3

Plus: A wild tangent on the Toronto Maple Leafs’ latest front office move and why things might somehow be getting worse up north.
