*Hey, the Philadelphia Flyers are finally done the preseason. It was a long and grueling six exhibition games that didn’t matter besides getting to watch some young players get on the ice in the correct sweater. It all finished with a 5-4 win over the New Jersey Devils at home. [BSH]
*Noah Cates is in a precarious position. He is one of the best defensive forwards in the game, but this training camp and to start the season, he is hoping to provide more offense than his lackluster sophomore year. [Inquirer]
*Some parts of the lineup are still in question, despite the season opening next week and there is a spot that is “wide open”. It might be an interesting couple days as we start to see more cuts made and the final roster take shape. [NBC Sports Philadelphia]
*While he is certainly in the lineup, Scott Laughton needs to bounce back from a disappointing 2023-24 season. He was not what he was once before and he should really step it up. [BSH]
*New Flyperbole and it features Hinkle! [BSH]
*Oh, yeah. The season technically starts tonight. The Devils and the Sabres are gearing up for what should be a fun and special Global Series game over in Czechia. [NHL.com]
*It’s sad. Ten years ago, if you said you were jealous of the Florida Panthers, it would be a joke. Now, they’re the toast of the NHL. How exactly did they get here? [ESPN]
