July 25, 2017 03:55 - 52 minutesWith the dog days of summer in full swing, the BSH Radio crew turns their focus towards the future. The status of Wayne Simmonds is the big debate, and whether the Flyers should plan to re-sign him after the 2018-19 season at age-31, or possibly trade him for a haul before his current contract expires. Steph and Kelly lean towards the "trade him!" camp, Bill is all about a new contract for Mr. Train, while Charlie provides the "wait and see" perspective. Then, the conversation moves towards t...

July 04, 2017 04:39 - 1 hourAfter a relatively uneventful July 1 for the Flyers, BSH Radio is back to evaluate whether the team was right to largely stay on the sidelines.

BSH Radio #110: No, the Flyers are not trading the #2 pick or Sean Couturier, probably
May 09, 2017 02:25 - 1 hourBSH Radio welcomes Kurt R. to the show as the post-lottery victory hangover is finally starting to wear off. Bad trade ideas are the topics of the night, as the gang rails against the unlikelihood of the #2 pick being shopped, and the misguided theory that winning that pick allows the Flyers to trade Sean Couturier. Steph also vehemently expresses her belief that the word "elite" is overused in describing hockey players, while Charlie rails against the World Championships. The show ends on a ...

BSH Radio #108: Our goalies are all cursed, this is Philadelphia
April 25, 2017 02:19 - 1 hourIt's been weeks since the Flyers' season ended, but the BSH Radio gang is as passionate as ever. Joe Thornton's decision to play through a serious knee injury, the demise of the Maple Leafs, and the cautionary tale of Justin Williams are key topics of conversation, in addition to Carter Hart's Hinkie-esque admission that he "trusts the process" when it comes to his development.

April 18, 2017 02:19 - 1 hourAs week two of the Flyers' offseason begins, BSH Radio is still playing meaningful games, with special guest Travis Hughes joining the show.

April 04, 2017 02:00 - 1 hourThe Flyers' playoff hopes came to a merciful end on Sunday night, and the BSH Radio gang is back in full force give it the Irish wake that it deserves.

Done with positivity, th...

March 28, 2017 02:25 - 1 hourOnly a handful of games remain in the disappointing 2016-17 Flyers season, but the weekend brought a rare occasion of pure happiness -- a 6-2 blow out of the rival Pittsburgh Penguins. Bill, Steph, and Charlie discuss the win, and whether it was still fun despite the Flyers' place in the standings. The gang tries to make sense of Travis Konecny's current place on the fourth line and if it's just another example of "Dave Hakstol, what are you doing?" or if there could be legitimate justificati...
BSH Radio #103: Even rooting for the Flyers to win is in question now
March 21, 2017 02:08 - 1 hourWith the playoffs now a near-impossibility, the BSH crew takes on the question of whether fans should be rooting for a strong finish to the season anyway, or just unapologetically pull for the tank.

Things get heated when Bill, Steph, and Charlie go back and forth on how much blame the coach dese...

March 17, 2017 03:25 - 1 hourRecorded during the Flyers-Devils game on Thursday 3/16, the BSH crew does their best to ignore the inevitable travesty of Philly playing in Newark and discuss what they want to see from the hockey team the Flyers for the rest of the season. Neuvirth over Mason in the Toronto game, Bellemare's fight against Buffalo, Wayne's 200th goal in the Pittsburgh upset and Ghost's resurgence are all better topics to discuss than whatever the hell went on in the Devils game. Learn more about your ad choi...
BSH Radio #101: Does anyone think this feels like a playoff team?
