Friday Morning Fly By: Just play, babies

*Without even having a start date yet, it would appear that some NHL teams are kicking around the idea of playing a bunch of games outside. Not like, one per team. A bunch of them. Per team. It is, as they say, an idea. [The Athletic]

*In the meantime, the NHLPA is starting to think about what they’re going to do if the owners cancel the season altogether. [TSN]

*James van Riemsdyk has no time for this ownership nonsense. Good man. [Inquirer]

*Anyhoo, Meltzer has some thoughts on the return to play scheme, among other things. [Hockeybuzz]

*We’ve talk about how the Flyers-Penguins rivalry might be dimmed a bit if they aren’t in the same division this season. So let’s look back at the good old days. [NBC Sports Philly]

*Speaking of the good old days... Shayne Gostisbehere. Come back, old Shayne. ‘Cause we didn’t really seem him this season. [BSH]

*It’s kind of easy to forget how many games Michael Raffl has played with this team, while simultaneously being unable to remember a time when he wasn’t on this team. [NBC Sports Philly]

*The World Juniors just got a little less exciting, since the stupid jerk Rangers aren’t going to let Alexis Lafreniere play for Team Canada. [Sportsnet]

*And finally, Friday’s are for BSH Radio. This was a fun one. You’ll laugh, I promise. [BSH]
