*The “it” referred to in today’s headline is Matvei Michkov. “Home” is Philadelphia. He will be coming back here. Our long national nightmare is over etc. [BSH]
*Also got some insight into Michkov’s summer training, and various and sundry other Hot Topics in the mailbag over at The New York Times. [The Athletic]
*”Whither Matvei Michkov?” isn’t the only question one could ask of the Flyers right now. There are a few pretty important ones the team is going to have to answer as the preseason festivities get underway. [BSH]
*Speaking of questions that need answering, how about answering the question “which NHL team is going to be the most interesting (derogatory?) this year?” [Sportsnet]
*The Phantoms will be getting underway ’round about the same time as the big club here in Philly, so we’re going to take a look at what to expect from the boys up in Allentown. First on the block, one of the Flyers’ less buzzy prospects on defense, Ty Murchison. [BSH]
*And finally, summer is long. It’s a lot of time without hockey. Especially August, which after (what felt like) 532 days and nights is finally over. Anyhoo, maybe all this time away from the NHL has made you forget some stuff. Not to worry. The Internet will remind you. [Sportsnet]
