The 100th episode of Orange and Backcheck!

The team is such a disappointment this season, is it finally time to accept they have to move on from Claude Giroux?

Scott and Bill discuss Sean Couturier being placed on the injured reserve with an upper-body injury, Ryan Ellis is 'not making progress' according to Mike Yeo when it comes to his injury recovery. The Flyers are just mediocre and it hurts to watch.

Scott and Bill discuss the NHL planning to return to the ice after a pause due to the spread of COVID. Teams are still dealing with a high rate of spread but the NHL is still planning on a return to play, is that the right move? The Flyers year in review. Has this season been any type of success anywhere?

Scott and Bill discuss the breaking news the NHL will suspend operations after tomorrow until after Christmas due to COVID-19 spreading rapidly. The Flyers and Caps will still play tomorrow, pending testing results before the stoppage takes place. The team is on a 5-game point streak, is Mike Yeo getting through to the team in a way AV couldn't?

Scott and Bill discuss the #BagItToBroad movement for Flyers fans and how it's been a microcosm for the franchise for nearly a decade now. The losing streak finally ended in Vegas but nobody should be expecting much from this team at this point. Sell the team!

The Flyers officially fired Alain Vigneault in the middle of an 8-game losing streak. What comes next for the Philadelphia Flyers?

Scott and Bill discuss the Flyers' ugly week that saw their losing streak continue to 6 games and just an ugly performance by the team overall. Is the coaching to blame at this point?

Scott and Bill discuss the past week of mediocrity of the Flyers after a 3-game homestand before setting off for Florida with back-to-back games with both Florida teams before taking on Carolina at home and New Jersey on the road. It's not getting any easier for this team and the injuries are piling up again.

Scott and Bill discuss the Flyers' gutsy, best win of the young season in Carolina and their struggling losses against Toronto and Dallas. Despite the struggling offense, the sky isn't falling yet, but the schedule does not get any easier the rest of the month and even into December. Now with Ryan Ellis out again with an injury, more pressure will be put on the likes of Kevin Hayes to revamp the offense.

Scott and Bill discus the Flyers suddenly having one of the best goalie tandems in the NHL after another dominating performance by Martin Jones in Washington and Carter Hart continuing his strong start to the season. A tandem they'll absolutely need the rest of the month, starting this week

Now it's a major test coming up against Boston and Florida, with Martin Jones starting against Boston. Is it already too early to put Hart on the bench?

Scott and Bill discuss the Flyers' preseason so far as the team prepares for the regular season to begin next week. Is Carter Hart back to his former self? Also, serious accusations were made by Las Vegas' Robin Lehner about prescription medicine in the NHL and called out AV by name. What does it mean?  Subscribe to us!
