Thursday Morning Fly By: Looking forward to break time.

*What a fun game that turned out to be. None of us saw that coming. RECAP!

*You may have noticed that Steve Mason is injured and out of the lineup. Not the greatest thing. [BSH]

*BUT! Mason himself says everything is cool and he's taking advantage of the rest heading into the All-Star break. [CSN Philly]

*R.J. Umberger is bad and he makes everyone else bad and he shouldn't be playing. Here's why. [Sons of Penn]

*The Flyers have had problems all year in the goal scoring department and Ron Hextall could probably make some moves to fix that. But is it worth it? [Inquirer]

*Speaking of goal scoring woes, starting better would help. [NBC Sports]

*Revisiting the Sean Couturier extension. [Pattison Ave]

*The Flyers defense is improving. Which is weird for us. [Flyerdelphia]

*The Phantoms recently got some bad news about veteran forward Tim Brent. [Highland Park Hockey]

*So with last night's game in the books the league is into the All-Star break...what are you excited about seeing this weekend? [Puck Daddy]

*And since the general consensus is that the All-Star Game kind of sucks, DGB has a radical plan to save it. [Down Goes Brown]

*TSN's annual poll of NHL coaches has been done; check out the results. [TSN]

*On redefining shot quality. [Hockey Graphs]

*And finally, remember when the NHL was supposed to deploy player tracking technology? Whatever happened to that? [Puck Daddy]
