*This team was due a stinker and boy oh boy did we get one yesterday! RECAP!
*Saturday’s game was better, but the Flyers still dropped their first game in quite a while to the extremely good Colorado Avalanche. RECAP!
*The loss pales in comparison, in terms of crappiness, to Owen Tippett leaving the game hurt. He apparently skated before the game yesterday, so that’s good, but still no word on how long he’ll be out. [BSH]
*There are a few things we can take away from the loss. As usual. [Inquirer]
*Back to Owen Tippett, man is it going to suck if he is out for an extended time. He’s been so hot out there. [PHLY]
*You may have heard that Tippett’s surge came from the use of a stick that isn’t his own. Finally we’ve got the whole story. [Inquirer]
*Also coming on in a big way lately? Cam Atkinson. You love to see it. [BSH]
*The Flyers definitely have some needs they need to shoot for at the deadline, but that’s not the same as buying. [The Athletic]
*Fans do seem to be itching for Danny B. to get moving on some of these probable deadline moves, but there are reasons he hasn’t done that yet. [BSH]
*Couple of pieces of Big News over the weekend, first of which is that we now have to deal with Patrick Roy being a part of our lives. [Lighthouse Hockey]
*The second bit of news is yet another formerly profitable sports media institution has been destroyed by venture capital. RIP, Sports Illustrated. [Inquirer]
*And finally, as we sit at nearly 50 games into the season with the Flyers knocking on the door of first place in the Metro, maybe it’s time to just accept that sometimes, teams are just a better sum of their special, doofy, himbo parts. And enjoy it. [PHLY]
