*Matvei Michkov scored a Michigan in a charity game and now he can’t stop talking about it. We love a laser-focused king, don’t we folks? [BSH]
*Evidently Matvei passed up vacation to focus on his training and some Noted Experts seem to think that ought to be enough to get Rick Tocchet off his back. Maybe. We’ll see. [Yahoo]
*Now what do we always say summer is for? That’s right, class. Summer is for lists. Like this one, of guys we think the Flyers should consider bringing in on a PTO. [BSH]
*What else is summer time for? If you said “ranked lists” you get a gold star! You’ve been paying attention! Here’s a ranked list of the best under-25 cores in the NHL. You might enjoy this one, because — SPOILER ALERT — the Flyers are on it. [Sportsnet]
*Here is a list ranking each team’s two top centers. You may not enjoy this one. You will also not be terribly surprised by it, methinks. [The Athletic]
*Speaking of rankings, Brek Liske just made it on to this year’s 25 Under 25 list, but with the work is putting in we bet he’ll be moving up the ranking pretty quickly. [BSH]
*And finally, it’s always fun when The Big Name picks one of our teams, isn’t it? It’s happened a bunch. It could happen again, too. Connor. You could come here if you wanted to, Connor. Bet you really enjoyed that private plane huh, Connor? [Inquirer]
