With no live hockey for us to watch right now, we’re going back in time and rewatching classic playoff games from the past instead. In Part 4 of the PDOcast Quarantine Rewatchables, Charlie O'Connor helps deep dive the 2012 first round series between the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins, which has all of the goals, fights, and action you could ever possibly ask for from a playoff matchup.
