*Can you believe next week is September? It feels unbelievable. The unrelenting passage of time, amirite? Anyhoo, as we inch closer to things like training camp and preseason and such, have a look at this dive into the Flyers as a whole and how they plan to take a step forward after finally getting back into the playoffs last season. [Flyers]
*One guy in particular that we’re looking forward to seeing take a step forward during this upcoming season is Denver Barkey, who impressed the heck out of coach Rick Tocchet and just about everyone else when he joined the Flyers last year. [BSH]
*As you may recall, the Carolina Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup thanks exclusively to Broad Street Hockey dot com (parody), and the way the Canes were built should really serve as evidence to you, dear reader, that Danny Briere’s plan can absolutely work. [The Athletic]
*And finally, if you were putting together an all-star under-25 Team Canada, would any of our boys make the cut for your roster? Seems like at least one guy ought to make it on. [Sportsnet]
