*The Flyers Charities Carnival was yesterday and, from the looks of it, fans had a fantastic time and the event was a rousing success. Wonderful stuff, one of the best days of the season. And a great way to distract us from thinking about Saturday’s overtime loss, which was not wonderful stuff. RECAP!
*Chuck had some thoughts, as usual, including some on the team’s continued inability to do anything good at all in the 3-on-3 overtime situation. [PHLY]
*Through all of this, poor Travis Konecny is suffering. You really gotta feel for the dude. [BSH]
*Anyway there was some good hockey played this weekend, outside at Beaver Stadium with Porter Marton and Michigan State taking on Gavin McKenna and Penn State. Looked like an incredible scene. [Inquirer]
*And in that very cool outdoor game, your boy Porter Martone SHOWED UP. This kid is so much fun.[BSH]
*While we’re talking prospects, Maddie’s got a look at the latest from Carsen Bjarnason and his recent turnaround up in Allentown. [BSH]
*Oh wow looks like St. Louis forward Robert Thomas is injury prone. Really soft. Unreliable, even. [TSN]
*Related, if Danny Briere has any sense at all he will do everything he can to pry Robert Thomas away from the Blues. [BSH]
*Also related, some thoughts on the biggest need each team currently has ahead of the trade deadline, which is coming up quick. [The Athletic]
*One guy the Flyers absolutely do not need, at all, ever, is Artemi Panarin. No thanks. [BSH]
*And finally, this is fun: the latest power rankings, in the form of a haiku for each of the league’s 32 teams. [The Athletic]
