*Before we turn to the weekend’s hockey happenings, there was some sad news out of the Czech Republic yesterday, as we learned that former Flyers’ goalie Roman Cechmanek passed away at the way-too-young age of 52.
*So the hockey… the Flyers started the weekend with a much-needed, solid win against the Ducks Friday night. Recap, if you missed it. [BSH]
*It was a very good game from an offensive perspective, but the defense was looking a little sus Friday night. [PHLY]
*They followed that up with another win on Saturday, getting a little revenge on those Kings after they throttled them at The Farg a few games back. [BSH]
*The big news ahead of that game was that Carter Hart, who was slated to start the game in L.A., was still too sick to play. [NBC Sports Philly]
*The big news after that game was that Morgan Frost really turned it on. [Inquirer]
*One hopes that his two-goal performance is a step in the right direction when it comes to winning John Tortorella back. [PHLY]
*The Edmonton Oilers fired their coach this weekend, predictably, and now our old pal Kris Knoblauch will be behind the bench. [Sportsnet]
*And finally, speaking of old pals, Ken Hitchcock is going into the Hall. Turns out he’s got a bit of regret about his time in Philadelphia. Not surprising to a fan who lived through it, honestly. [Inquirer]
