*The Flyers may have looked better than they did against the Blackhawks over the weekend but they still lost. Battled back to get to overtime. Still lost. Recap.
*John was upset:
*You may have noticed that Cam Atkinson drew back in last night and Sean Couturier started the game on a line with actually good players. Torts decided to lean on his vets last night. [NBC Sports Philly]
*Didn’t last long though, as Coots went out in the first period with what appeared to be an upper body injury. Not great! [NBC Sports Philly]
*You may have also noticed that Jamie Drysdale is back! An excellent development; very good for everyone that his injury wasn’t as bad as we all feared. [Inquirer]
*Alright so let’s say the Flyers hang on and get themselves into the playoffs. What would it take for them to actually make a little noise? [BSH]
*Related, kind of, Brent Flahr talks this year’s draft, which he doesn’t seem too impressed with. [Inquirer]
*Really seems like the league is going to try again in Atlanta. Seems like a good place to move the Coyotes if you ask me. [Sportsnet]
*And finally, when Big E talks Flyers, we’re going to listen. Even if we might not agree with him this time. [The Hockey News]
