*The Flyers are back to practicing over in Voorhees and while they are still thinking playoffs, they appear to be self-aware enough to know that it’s going to take a lot of leveling up in order for them to make it in. [Inquirer]
*Travis Konecny still yearns for playoffs. And seems to believe this team is on its way to getting there. [NBC Sports Philly]

*Speaking of the Olympics, it was a big day yesterday for the men’s hockey tourney. Dan Vladar’s teammates gave a valiant effort against Canada but they were unable to hold on in overtime, so Canada moves on to semis. [AP]
*And Team USA also needed overtime to beat the Swedes. [ESPN]
*Also, don’t forget that Team USA and Team Canada will face off for the gold medal in women’s hockey this afternoon. Here’s hoping it’s a better game than that first one was. [TSN]

*Keeping with the prospects theme, we’ve got part one of Charlie’s big annual Chuck Flahr Interview, which focuses on the center and the defensemen the Flyers currently have in the pipeline. [PHLY]
*We got a little more specific, with a feature on Phantoms’ defenseman Christian Kyrou, who came in hot when he was first traded to Lehigh Valley, but stumbled a bit in recent play. [BSH]
*And finally, a little bit of content on the Big Boys: we think these three Flyers have the most to lose as we head into the home stretch of this long season. [BSH]
