This week, what we're throwing down on the Table is an in-depth discussion with Bill Matz (@BILLadelphia1) from BroadStreetHockey.com and the BSH Radio podcast about this current Philadelphia Flyers season, and where this team prepares to go into the future. It's the Claude Giroux show from here on out, so let's enjoy the rest of our time with him. It was a great discussion!

But first, we gave our thoughts after the Sixers recent press conference were James Harden was introduced to the media. (approx. 4:45)

Then we segued into an interesting topic: what does the "long-term" even mean in sports anymore? In the "win now" culture, do teams even plan for the future? (approx. 15:47)

From there, we had a discussion about how Minor League Baseball players will likely be screwed within the next collective bargaining agreement, and how they get the short end of the stick. (approx. 26:00)

This week, we brought back our Up or Down segment. Are the follow trending up or down: MLB Players Union and the overall NHL product? (approx. 34:40)

What we threw down on the Table was a great discussion with Bill Matz from Broad Street Hockey as we all continue to watch the doom that is this Flyers season. Tons of losing, the inevitable Claude Giroux trade, and the process of retooling and rebuilding a professional hockey team. Who's to blame for all of this, and where did it start? All of this and much more this week on the Table! (approx. 45:50)
