On the latest WhyHockey show, Matt and Tommy look at the Flyers post firing Chuck Fletcher and what their next organizational structure should look like, whether the Panthers have changed all that much for the better even as they're closer to the playoffs than ever, and Matt spends timing talking about the James Reimer fiasco from last weekend and what it says about him and hockey.
Timecodes for the discussions:
8:15: On James Reimer and not wearing the Sharks Pride jersey
40:15: What to make of the Flyers firing Chuck Fletcher and how they should structure their organization from here?
1:20:00: The Panthers are making a run, but how much better are they than they have been?
Apologies for some audio feedback and static issues from about 10-23 minutes into the podcast. It was an issue with the recording process and no amount of editing could fix it. The discussion was too good to cut out from the show, my (Matt's) apologies. We'll have that rectified for the future.
