*Happy Deadline Day, friends! Last year was boring as heck so we’ll see how spicy the GMs get this year. If Chuck makes any moves, you have to assume it’ll involve at least one of the prospects, right? So who is expendable? [Courier-Post]
*The deadline can be confusing. [Hockeybuzz]
*You have to wonder how Nolan Patrick’s progress might impact the Flyers’ trade plans. [BSH]
*Soooooo Ghost trade? Nah. Probably not. [Inquirer]
*And with Saturday’s win over the Jets we are on a proper winning streak. And it’s been fun. Here’s what we learned from that well-fought win. [BSH]
*The boys got a boost after the game too, from a surprise visit from Oskar Lindblom. [NBC Sports Philly]
*Have the Flyers finally found a killer instinct? Saturday’s game showed some promise there. [Courier-Post]
*Joel Farabee is learning lessons too. No repeating past mistakes for this kid. [Inquirer]
*The Flyers’ third pair hasn’t been great, but they’re holding it together for the most part. It’ll be interesting to see what happens with Ghost back in the mix. [BSH]
*Might the Flyers knock on Kyle Dubas’ door today and try to pry one of the young guns away from the floundering Leafs? [NBC Sports Philly]
*Speaking of the Leafs, in their game against Carolina Saturday night we got a rare EBUG experience, and, despite having an entire period to score on a 42-year old zamboni driver, the Leafs lost. It was fun. [Canes Country]
*The Leafs fans are, naturally, melting all the way down. It’ll be interesting to see what that team does today. [Pension Plan Puppets]
*And finally, after a week or so of trying, Alexander Ovechkin finally hit 700. And was, deservedly, showered with praise. [ProHockeyTalk]
