*Big weekend for our pals up in Allentown! In case you missed it, the Phantoms put a hurting on the Bears to force a big Game 4 on home ice tomorrow night. Exciting! [BSH]

*If you’re following us over on Twitter, we’re giving away a four pack of tickets to the game:

*You might have forgotten that Rasmus Ristolainen played actual games for the Flyers this season, but he did. And we’ve reviewed them. [BSH]

*Scott Laughton was understandably bummed out when his name hit the rumor mill at the deadline (again). But John Tortorella made sure to let him know that no matter what, the Flyers value him a lot. [NBC Sports Philly]

*This probably won’t be the last time Laughts sees his name on the potential trade lists. Like on this particular list of potential trade candidates. [BSH]

*The Flyers set a penalty shot record this season? That’s wild. What a weird year this was, eh? [Flyers]

*We asked and you answered, and the number one overall pick on the BSH Community Draft Board is… Macklin Celebrini! Whomst could have predicted? [BSH]

*Speaking of draft boards, yesterday you got Pronman’s, today you get Wheeler’s. Mock drafts as far as the eye can see. [The Athletic]

*Around the league, the Leafs finally got around to firing their crummy coach. [TSN]

*Which means that now the hottest coaching job in the league is up in Toronto. But that’s not the only job open which means that the NHL’s coaching carousel is a’spinnin’. [ESPN+]

*One of the funnest things about these playoffs so far is the fact that there is no such thing as a “safe lead” at all. Doesn’t matter how big the lead is, the comebacks have been many. [AP]

*And finally, on two of the most entertaining characters in the sport, facing each other in this round of the ‘yoffs. Lucky us. [Sportsnet]
