*Big news!! Not one, not two, but THREE of our boys will be heading to Europe to play for Team Canada at the upcoming IIHF World Championship! [BSH]
*The Flyers heard us speculating that they were spearheading a media campaign to sell us on Rick Tocchet and said “oh no, can’t have that.” So they called their pal Kevin Weekes and let him know that they interviewed Alex Bump’s former coach, Pat Ferschweiler. Do not fact check the premise of this blurb, thank you. [BSH]
*Fershweiler is, without question, the most interesting of the probable frontrunners for this coaching job. [NBC Sports Philly]
*Jett Luchanko’s been a part of the Flyers organization for about a year now, and here’s how he’s felt about things since being drafted last summer. [Inquirer]
*In addition to a coach the Flyers should probably consider bringing in a goaltender, and here are a few UFAs that might be a good short-term solution for the Goaltending Problem. [BSH]
*Obviously the Flyers aren’t the only team in need of a coach; Anaheim is looking too and their search seems to be earnestly underway. [TSN]
*For the Rangers, it looks like they have secured themselves the bag. The bag is Mike Sullivan. [ESPN]
*Related, it did not take John Tortorella long to find himself another job. [BSH]
*And finally, a bit of sad news yesterday as we learned that we’ve lost another Broad Street Bully: Ed Van Impe passed away this week, surrounded by his loved ones. Our thoughts are with his family. [Inquirer]
