*The boys are heading to Chicago for tomorrow’s game against the Blackhawks, and it’s an excellent opportunity for them to leave Saturday well behind them. Particularly because if history is any indication, the Flyers do pretty well after losing an outdoor game. [BSH]
*Speaking of the outdoor game, did you know that was the forty-first outdoor game the NHL has held? That’s so many? [TSN]
*Sam Ersson had a less-than-stellar game on Saturday. Can’t deny it. But does that mean we need to worry about what he’s going to be for us long term? [BSH]
*Looks like John Tortorella did a bit of yelling at the boys at practice yesterday. [NBC Sports Philly]
*It’s not been many games since Sean Couturier was named captain, but it seemed obvious to all of us that it is a role he’s pretty much made for. [The Athletic]
*Nick Seeler’s road to “actually pretty useful defenseman” is an interesting one. [Inquirer]
*And finally, the 2018 Hockey Canada case is awful on a lot of levels, and it is without question a black mark on the NHL’s overall reputation. That said, there is an opportunity for the league to make some changes that will be positive in the long run. They need to do that. [Inquirer]
