*Last night we got the first game out west, and tonight we get the first game of this Montreal Canadiens – Carolina Hurricanes series. Then we can really think about what the Flyers can learn from these four remaining teams. [BSH]
*While we’re all learning lessons, here’s one thing learned from each of the teams eliminated in the second round, including your Philadelphia Flyers. [The Athletic]
*Have we mentioned that Danny Briere is going to have a lot of decisions to make this summer? Have you seen this, have you heard about this? Anyway one of those decisions is going to center on what exactly to do with Sam Ersson. [BSH]
*We’ve also got a bunch of guys losing waiver exemption next season. Going to need to figure out what to do with those guys too. [BSH]
*Erik Johnson is one of the rare NHL players/alums with personality, wit, and charm, so it’s to all of our benefit that he decided that TV was a better idea than working in the Flyers’ front office. [Inquirer]
*Nic Deslauriers was not a good hockey player but he was a good dude and a good person to have in a locker room full of young, new NHL players, so we’ll miss him a bit. [BSH]
*We’ve made it to the third overall pick on the BSH Community Draft Board and we’ve already got our first American AND our first defenseman! [BSH]
*There are few things more fun than watching teammates public roast each other on social media, and boy did Trevor Zegras earn this one. [Inquirer]
*And finally, apropos of nothing, NHL coaching tenures are getting shorter and shorter which is why, in no logical world, should an NHL front office take the side of their coach over the side of one of their more valuable players. [Sportsnet]
