*We’ve reached the end of the Flyers After Dark™ road trip, with things finishing up tonight in Seattle. Finally, our bedtimes will be restored. Anyhoo, yesterday was a big day for our boy Denver Barkey:
*Outside of that all anyone wants to talk about is our small Russian king and his first two NHL goals. Chuck broke things down, for his subscribers. [PHLY]
*Apparently Michkov said “I score, I score” before the game?? How can you not love this kid he’s a DELIGHT. [The Athletic]
*John Tortorella is looking beyond just the goals, though. [BSH]
*Have you subscribed to our YouTube channel? You should. Likes and subs help get the machines to suggest us to other people, and that’s neat. Anyhoo, the newest member of the BSH fam, Chris Maher, did some excellent breakdown of Jett Luchanko’s and Matvei Michkov’s first game that’s worth a watch. [BSH]
*Quite a few slow starts around the league this season, but which ones are cause for long-term worry? [Sportsnet]
*Get ready for the second half of October by marking your calendar with these important dates. [BSH]
*What’s that, you say? You would love another ranked list? Well great news, pals! ESPN ranked prospect pools. [ESPN]
*And finally, just in case you haven’t felt Elderly in a little while, have a look at this list of things that are older than Jett Luchanko. And then maybe stretch out your lower back and have a cup of tea, Grandpa. [BSH]
