This week in Flyers talk

The shows spent the week following the Flyers' turnaround from a rough start, focusing on their young core stepping up during a winning streak. The talk keeps coming back to Matvei Michkov's hot stretch, Oliver Bonk's rapid rise to top-pair minutes, and how Hunter McDonald and Cole Knuble have contributed to the turnaround. Porter Martone's slow start drew some concern despite his preseason hype, though the hosts urged patience given his youth.

In this week's clips: Matvei Michkov, Porter Martone, Oliver Bonk, Hunter McDonald, Sean Couturier, Christian Dvorak, Travis Sanheim, Dan Vladar.
