*First game of the road trip sure was a burner huh?? Thrilling stuff. Recap.

*Much like most of us, John Tortorella is wishing for a reliable goalie who could regularly take some starts away from Sam Ersson, who he does not think is a #1 NHL goaltender. [Inquirer]

*Speaking of things being bleak, the reality of being a rebuilding team is starting to hit the Flyers down the stretch. [BSH]

*That said, there are still some things to play for in this last bunch of games before we all hit the golf course. [Inquirer]

*Have you been wondering where the Flyers’ ownership might rank against the folks running the rest of the league? No? Well, someone asked, so… [The Athletic]

*The GM meetings kicked off yesterday and first on their list of requests was some clarity on what, exactly, is goaltender interference. They don’t know either. [Sportsnet]

*Is anyone still wishing the Flyers did a full tear-down rebuild? Anyway here’s a thing on how the Sabres will probably never make the playoffs again in our lifetimes. [ESPN]

*Round 1 of the ‘yoffs is usually pure chaos and these are some of the best of the possible matchups we could end up seeing. [Sportsnet]

*And finally, Nikita Grebenkin is here (in Allentown) and he’s spectacular (he looked pretty dang good in his first game with the Phantoms). [BSH]
