*There’s no sense burying the lede here: the Flyers are moving on to the second round! It took a weird and wild overtime game to get there, but they pulled it off. [BSH]
*Defenseman Cam York was the overtime hero, and he celebrated it in probably the funniest way possible. [BSH]
*Of course, there’s a whole lot to dig into after a win as big as that one. [NBCSP]
*In fact, we’ve got takeaways from both sides of the matchup. [The Athletic]
*One of the bigger bits of news heading into that game was that after one game as a healthy scratch, Matvei Michkov was back in action. [BSH]
*It all worked out just fine for them, but The Insiders are left wondering if other teams are wondering what’s up with Michkov and how the Flyers are handling him, and if that might move him onto some trade boards. A lot to unpack in that one. [BSH]
*Speaking of youngsters, the Flyers are getting good contributions from Alex Bump and Denver Barkey, and they have their retooled development infrastructure to thank for that. [BSH]
*This is certainly not where we expected the Flyers to be when we started this season, but this exceeding of expectations sure has been cool to watch unfold. [Inquirer]
*And finally, after testing our luck, we made things right with the hockey gods before last night’s game. So, you’re welcome for that. [BSH]
