*Should be an interesting couple of weeks with Sam Ersson out, eh? Anyhoo, the second period strikes again and the Flyers fell to the Knights. RECAP!
*Latest on Sam Ersson is “day to day.” Which, in Flyers parlance, could mean he’s back next game or he’s out for 6 weeks. Who can say. [NBC Sports Philly]
*We have some kids trying for the gold up in Ottawa!! [BSH]
*After last night we are one (1) game into January, and we’ve got some predictions for what’s to follow for the rest of the month. [BSH]
*One thing the Flyers have been consistent with this season? Inconsistency. Guys are up and down, the defense gets good then the offense goes cold, then guys start scoring and the D falls apart… it’s a struggle. Would love that to change. [The Athletic]
*The West Coast road trip is hard on the players, surely. And really hard on us, the fans that are sleepyheads. Know who else it is hard on? All the people that work behind the scenes to keep the players ready to go for game time. [Inquirer]
*Power rankings, in the form of resolutions for each NHL team. [Sportsnet]
*And finally: VIDEO GAMES. We ranked some. Everything is sports. [BSH]
