*A rare two days off for us to enjoy Not The Flyers this week; the boys are back at it ’til tomorrow when they arrive in California. How’s about you use this time to catch up on the Phantoms, who had a good weekend overall. [BSH]
*You may not have realized this, but the Flyers’ power play stinks. That was sarcasm, in case that wasn’t clear. Anyhoo, since the coaching staff doesn’t seem to have any solution to this problem, maybe the beats can find the answer. [Inquirer]
*If you’ve been thinking that you’d like to share your opinions on the Flyers with the failing New York Times, boy do I have some great news for you! [The Athletic]
*Dan Vladar has been… maybe not ALL of the reason that the Flyers are even sniffing the playoffs, but definitely most of the reason, and as such the Flyers owe it to him to end his season the right way. [BSH]
*Got some news yesterday about what the World Cup of Hockey is going to look like in 2028. Some interesting choices made. [Sportsnet]
*PLAYOFF WATCH. Since it’s peak bracket time in the sports world, why not start thinking about which teams will be the bracket busters in this year’s playoffs. [ESPN]
*Related, it’s kinda fun that there are a bunch of unexpected teams making noise this season. The same teams winning every year is boring. To me, a person whose team never wins. [Sportsnet]
*And finally, the POHO himself, Keith Jones, made an appearance on the radio. When Jonesy talks, it’s usually worth listening. [Inquirer]
