Monday Morning Fly By: American (hockey) exceptionalism

*The American kids won Gold last night! That’s two years in a row. Wild stuff. [BSH]

*The Flyers also played in Canada last night, and took the Leafs to overtime. Which, honestly? Not bad. RECAP!

*So we got a look at Ivan Fedotov last night, but that was more out of lack of option than any real plan. Which means the question of “what are we even doing with this dude?” remains unanswered. [BSH]

*The Flyers’ top to priorities as far as fixing things go are the power play and Matvei Michkov. Not necessarily in that order. [Inquirer]

*Despite a mixed bag of results, though, the Flyers are in fact taking some little steps forward on offense. Small victories! [The Athletic]

*Everyone is talking about trading for Elias Pettersson, but what if the Flyers look north for an answer down the middle? [BSH]

*Here’s the rest of what went on this weekend up in Ottawa for the WJC! [BSH]

*And finally, 2025 is an important year for this rebuild, if it’s going to work, and these are the five things we think you should be watching as the new year marches on. [BSH]
