This week, what we're throwing down on the Table is an in-depth discussion and interview with Ryan Gilbert from BroadStreetHockey.com about whether or not this Philadelphia Flyers team can be contenders not only in the Metropolitan Division, but the NHL overall. It was a great discussion as this Flyers season has been an interesting one early on!

But first, we dove into the Eagles defense and whether or not Jonathan Gannon is a one and done defensive coordinator. (approx. 6:50)

We then got into a discussion about where this Temple Football program is going in the future after a terrible 2021 season. How can they get out from under this program slump? (approx. 14:15)

From there, we discussed how Dave Dombrowski has been talking up during these winter meetings Bryson Stott as the next shortstop on this Phillies team. (approx. 22:50)

We then discussed the trade rumors surrounding the Sixers and the Celtics. Would the Celtics actually trade Jaylen Brown for Ben Simmons? (approx. 30:30)

What we threw down on the Table was a fantastic discussion with Ryan Gilbert from Broad Street Hockey about how this Flyers team looks after about 10 games early this season. Can they be contenders? We got Ryan's thoughts on the Flyers' goaltenders, Rasmus Ristolainen's defense, and offensive performances throughout the season thus far. All of this and much more during our discussion with Ryan! (approx. 39:55)
