*You might’ve thought the Flyers were out of whatever funk they’ve been stuck in but one win does not a turnaround make. And last night they could not make it two in a row. RECAP!

*Travis Konecny, much like all of us, was tired of losing when he hit the ice in Las Vegas Monday night. [NBC Sports Philly]

*Speaking of certified Grade A winners, Bobby Brink came back into the lineup and the losing immediately ceased. Coincidence?? PERHAPS. Perhaps not. [Inquirer]

*Ricky Tacos is not very happy about the lack of discipline his players have been displaying of late and he’s going to do something about it! You’ll never guess what the “something” is. [BSH]

*Chuck also has some thoughts on the comments Tocchet made ahead of last night’s game. [PHLY]

*How’s about a little update on how our various prospects have been faring since World Juniors? It’s a mixed bag, folks. See who’s good and who stinks. [BSH]

*Related, it’s very easy to go back and look at any single draft year and wish the Flyers had made a different choice. There’s always a guy that was picked after the Flyers’ pick that ended up a better player. But performing this exercise is only going to drive you nuts and is, in the end, pointless. [BSH]

*Goalies, as we all know, seem to be a little loopy. You gotta wonder how a kid makes the choice to be the guy getting hit with the puck all the time, right? Lucky for us a bunch of NHL goalies are explaining how this happened to them. Which is fun. [TSN]

*And finally, oh baby, you know how much we love a ranked list around here. This one ranks the best 50 players who will be heading to the Olympics next month. Get to arguing in the comments about how wrong this list is. That’s the fun, after all! [ESPN]
