*Sharks tonight! How exciting! Guessing we’ll see a lot of the 4th line because SOMEONE heard you complaining about overuse of the 4th line and turned into the “…and I took that personally” meme. [BSH]
*Yeah so Ricky Tacos was big mad about having to answer questions about how he deploys his lines. Using bad words and everything! [NBC Sports Philly]
*What you clearly don’t understand, dear reader, is that trotting out a line with one single point on the season when your team is down one goal with five minutes left in the third is called CULTURE. Look it up. [Inquirer]
*But anyway….TRADE ALERT!!!!! [BSH]
*Anyhoo, if we learned anything from Sunday’s game against the league’s best team, it is that the Flyers can hang with the best. It’s a step in the right direction. [BSH]
*Matvei Michkov and Sean Couturier have been scoring. That’s good. They should keep doing that. Maybe more minutes would help there? Just spitballing. [The Athletic]
*Speaking of finally scoring, Travis Konecny is coming back to himself and leads this week’s Three Stars. [BSH]
*If you’re a subscriber over at Charlie’s website you can check out Maddie’s first quarter Phantoms report. She’s the best in the biz, folks. [PHLY]
*And finally, while we’re talking prospects, looks like we’ve got a couple of kids headed to the WJC! Merry Christmas to all of us, really. [Inquirer]
