*Alright let’s get the compulsory game stuff out of the way… the Flyers started the home-and-home with Carolina at home, took them to overtime, and then to a shootout, and then walked away with a loss. First time all season; that’s wild! RECAP!
*Then yesterday evening the took the ice in Carolina and decided to do the same exact thing all over again. Gotta love commitment to a bit, huh? RECAP!
*If you’re a subscriber over at Charlie’s website, you can check out his thought’s on Saturday’s game. The ones for last night’s game are probably there now too. [PHLY]
*Was a solid one for Sam Ersson, despite the loss. He’s better than his numbers, folks! [The Athletic]
*Big news, though? Huge news? THE HUGHES NEWS. It was clear that Quinn Hughes was going to be traded but the landing spot was still a question mark. And he’s landed in Minnesota. Just as we all predicted. For a little bit of cope, here’s why this is actually good for us. [BSH]
*Really though, there was no shot the Flyers were going to get him, looking at what Vancouver received from the Wild. So no need to be upset about it. [BSH]
*Have you considered that this trade might impact every single team in the league? No? Well, [The Athletic]
*Anyway, back to the Flyers. Cam York is back! Great news. [Inquirer]
*Well not really great news for Ty Murchison, who played well but is out with York back in the mix. He looked good enough to earn himself regular consideration for the lineup though. [BSH]
*More great news, Rick Tocchet, who is a great coach, is considering that maybe Matvei Michkov should get some overtime minutes! Wow! [NBC Sports Philly]
*Related, we took a little dive into the difference between the first 30 games of Michkov’s rookie year and the first 30 of this year, usage-wise. [BSH]
*Back to the positives, Carl Grundstrom, huh? [Inquirer]
*While we’re talking dudes from the Phantoms… Prospect Report! [BSH]
*And finally, the latest power rankings. Everyone loves a list. [ESPN]
