Monday Morning Fly By: We’re going to be here a while

*Over the weekend, the Flyers allowed Michael Raffl to head over to Europe to play some hockey. Folks, thinking there is no way we are getting a January 1 start on this new season. Sigh. [BSH]

*And when they do get going, should the NHL be doing something like the did in the playoffs, with hub cities and limited travel? Would probably be a hard sell for the players. [Inquirer]

*Anyhoo, did everyone have a nice Thanksgiving weekend? Despite everything being such a mess right now, we do have things to be thankful for. We always do. And especially on the Flyers’ front this year. [NBC Sports Philly]

*Like, for example, Carter Hart. For whom the sky appears to be the limit. [The Athletic]

*Or even Jake Voracek, who once again scored a lot of points for this team. [BSH]

*For JVR? Maybe? Okay we might be pushing it now. [The Athletic]

*Anyone here a collector of hockey things? Many people love cool collectibles, and sharing them with other hockey fans can be fun! [Pensburgh]

*On Gritty, with whom we, as Flyers fans, will have curried favor ahead of his eventual takeover of the world. [SB Nation]

*DGB on this offseason’s Eastern Conference bizarro-meter. [The Athletic]

*And finally, in case you missed it, the latest episode of BSH Radio offers a nice little giving of thanks, mostly for you people. who we love. [BSH]
