*The Flyers had an opportunity Saturday night, to come home to The Farg and capitalize on the fact that every other sports team in the city is a big ol’ disappointment. Get everyone excited about the new players, the New Era of Orange™, etc. They did not do that. They did the opposite, in fact. RECAP!
*The team was pretty flat, start to finish. Top to bottom. [NBC Sports Philly]
*Once again, no one could hit the net. It was remarkable, really. [Inquirer]
*At the end of the game, the remaining fans gave the Flyers the welcome home they earned. [Inquirer]
*One of the guys continuing to do all of that aforementioned missing the net? Owen Tippett. It’s very frustrating. But also we should probably chill. [BSH]
*Jamie Drysdale, on the other hand, has looked good in spots. Not so good in others. That’s an improvement though! [The Athletic]
*We’ve seen Ivan Fedotov in two starts now. Neither of them were good. One of them was an abject disaster. So what are the Flyers to do about this big giant problem? [BSH]
*Is it… is it time for Nic Deslauriers to make an appearance? [BSH]
*This week’s power rankings, in the form of one player from each team that will probably help your fantasy hockey team. [ESPN]
*And finally, speaking of fantasy hockey, if you haven’t noticed, each Sunday we’ll feature a full rundown of the upcoming week’s fantasy hockey options. We hope you like it! [BSH]
