Episode 187: Kevin Kurz on Cutter Gauthier, Flyers Goalies, Power Play + MORE

Riley and Derek start the show talking about their past weekend, mens league, and coffee. Jumping into some Flyers talk, Riles and Nasty discuss the Flyers going 2-1-1 in their recent stretch, Cutter Gauthier’s first game in Philadelphia, the comeback win against the Florida Panthers, the Foerster-Cates-Brink line, shootout loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets, and the Flyers Quarter-Century Team. Moving along they discuss Alex Ovechkin, the Flyers upcoming new arena, and Ridly Greig’s next contract extension with the Ottawa Senators. Flyers beat writer for The Athletic Kevin Kurz joined us in studio! Kevin talks to us about working for the Phantoms, Flyers, and Comcast Sportsnet previously, covering the San Jose Sharks and New York Islanders a few seasons ago, and coming back to Philly to cover the Flyers, how hard it is to be critical but not crossing the line as a writer, and how he became a hockey writer. Jumping over to some Flyers talk we discuss his thoughts on the team at the moment, the power play, and the goaltending. We discuss the Flyers game vs the Ducks and Cutter Gauthier, Noah Cates’ line, what the Flyers may do before the trade deadline, how the Flyers are going to acquire a first line center, how trading a locker room favorite can affect a team, Matvei Michkov’s development, and John Tortorella. Wrapping up the interview Kevin shares his thoughts on the Eastern Conference, Aleksei Kolosov and the Flyers carrying 3 goalies, his predictions for the rest of the season, and his thoughts on the Washington Capitals.
