*The Flyers have some good goalie prospects, did you know that? [The Hockey Writers]

*Speaking of prospects, Robert Hagg. How's that guy doing? (This is a great article btw) [Highland Park Hockey]

*Sadly, former Flyers great Rick MacLeish is battling an illness. Hopefully he'll be okay. [Inquirer]

*On why we can stop with the Ovie vs. Crosby nonsense now. [Vice Sports]

*Speaking of stupid Crosby, no one likes him but everyone loves Phil Kessel and he is on fire. [Puck Daddy]

*A look into the mind of a hockey player before he plays a big big game. [Defending Big D]

*The puck-over-the-glass rule is dumb and really needs a rethinking. [The Hockey News]
