Danny Briere has said that the Flyers are still in the rebuilding phase. That’s how the front office is going to proceed. But with 28 games down in the 2023-24 regular season, the Flyers have performed, to this point, like a team deserving of a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.And since we know the front office will never orchestrate a “tank,” even if they’re keeping an eye on the future, the fans (and whatever we are) have begun to look at this more than a meaningless season in terms of wins and losses.Charlie, Bill & Kelly debate how we should evaluate the Flyers on a game-to-game basis, and if suddenly a new standard should be applied to the coaching staff’s decision making.
