*It was, oddly enough, a fantastic weekend for the Philadelphia Flyers organization while also a terrible one for The Hockey Team The Flyers. The final game heading into the break was an ugly one. RECAP!
*But outside of that nonsense on Saturday, it was a good time! Friday night’s alumni game was a huge success, from the crowd to the pregame ceremony to the play on the ice. Wonderful all around. [NBC Sports Philly]
*Joe Watson wore his equipment from the 70s! [Inquirer]
*Mark Recchi’s induction into the Flyers Hall of Fame was also a great time for everyone involved. [Inquirer]
*So right, the Now-Flyers. Things were very good and then got very bad, very fast. Now it seems no one is sure what this team is. [The Athletic]
*Friday we got some good news, though. Owen Tippett decided he wants to be a Flyers! [BSH]
*Tippett says that Philly feels like home now and he can see the vision the front office is trying to execute leading to good things for this team. [Inquirer]
*Charlie breaks down the contract and Tippett’s play for the Flyers thus far. [PHLY]
*Tipp wasn’t the only one, though. Ryan Poehling will also be sticking around for a little while. [BSH]
*Friday was a busy day, we also got our first looks at the Stadium Series jersey. [BSH]
*Charlie’s latest mailbag dropped this weekend; always a fun and interesting read. [PHLY]
*Okay if you had to pick one Flyer currently out-performing his contract, who ya got? [ESPN]
*The first of the five players who took leaves of absence last week has turned himself into London police. So there’s not really much “speculating” to do about Carter Hart at this point. [TSN]
*And finally, let’s wrap on a fun note: we thought back about which former Flyers would’ve thrived under John Tortorella. [BSH]
