*Turns out if you put the Flyers up against a team with which they are evenly matched, things get really fun! RECAP!
*You may have noticed that last night, Dan Vladar got his second start in a row. Interesting, no? [BSH]
*You may remember Matvei Michkov being benched (again) in the Flyers’ win over the Wild. Rick Tocchet had some Reasons for that, apparently. [Inquirer]
*Rick Tocchet also said he seems some Mikko Rantanen in Owen Tippett. Boy would it be nice if that were true. Even like, 60% true. [BSH]
*Speaking of The Tipp, he’s off to a pretty nice start to this season. Even when he hasn’t been scoring (please score more) he’s looked really good. [NBC Sports Philly]
*Anyway wrapping up what Tocchet went on about yesterday, he wants to see more from Egor Zamula. I would like to win the Powerball, or to wake up and learn that It Happened. We all want things we won’t get, know what I mean? [Inquirer]
*If you’re a subscriber over at Charlie’s website, you can read his very good deep-dive into why Rick Tocchet and the Flyers don’t seem to be as committed to finding out what Trevor Zegras can do at center as we thought they were. [PHLY]
*The Flyers have been playing Travis Sanheim a lot. It would appear they understand that this is suboptimal long term. That’s probably good. [BSH]
*And finally, we’ve got Maddie’s Phantoms update! Looks like it was a good weekend for The Boys up in Allentown. [BSH]
