Isaiah and the returning Dan Silver are back with special guest Anthony DiMarco from thefourthperiod.com and the Stick 2 Hockey podcast to examine the Flyers organizational makeover so far. With Comcast Spectacor CEO Dan Hilferty taking over for the retiring Dave Scott and the expectation that the Lehigh Valley Phantoms will have a full time GM, the team continues to evolve on and off the ice. We also discuss the ideal candidate for the team's hockey ops job; Draft and trade rumors/scenarios; The success of the kids and more!

Isaiah and Chef are back with special guest Russ Joy from crossingbroad.com and the Snow the Goalie podcast. The Flyers have fired Fletcher, hired Briere - in the interim - and appear to be on the road to making sweeping changes throughout the organization. How far will they go? We break it down and project who survives the shake up in the front office and on the ice.

Isaiah and Chef are back with special guest Eklund from hockeybuzz.com to discuss what Flyers fans are hoping is the start of a new era for the team. With the hiring of interim GM Daniel Briere and the anticipation of further organizational changes predicted, perhaps those hopes will be fulfilled. We reflect back on the early Ed Snider days going back through the Cup years to their close into the Comcast tenure of frustration and team futility, how they got there and the road ahead. Also discussed are what's next for Sean Couturier and Brent Flair; Danny or Daniel?; the next president of hockey ops and more!

Isaiah and Chef are back with Kevin Durso of 973espn.com. The Flyer faithful's outrage almost certainly moved up the timeline of Chuck Fletcher's dismissal as Danny Briere's is named interim GM. We examine the way forward for the organization and what steps could be next in the front office; Briere's inner circle; the plight of Dave Scott and the senior advisors and the search for the president of hockey operations. Finally, we take a quick peek at what players might not be part of the team's rebuild. A packed show!
