*Big Game 6 tonight for our boys, back on home ice with their third chance to knock the Penguins out for good. Game 7 would be a bad idea, and it’s easy to be feeling a little negative after two straight losses, but maybe we all need to settle down a little. Maybe. [BSH]

*Did you hear Matvei Michkov was scratched in Game 5? Did you notice this? Anyone you know talking about it? Anyway maybe we need to settle down about that too. [BSH]

*Charlie has some Thoughts on what it is that failed the Flyers on Monday night in Pittsburgh. [PHLY]

*The Flyers are a young team without a ton of playoff experience, so maybe the pressure of all of this is finally getting to them? [The Athletic]

*I suppose you could make that kind of rote argument if you want to, but pressure sure didn’t seem to be a problem for Noted Young Guy Alex Bump. [BSH]

*After two losses that left a lot to be desired about the play of your hockey team, you may want to start thinking about shaking up the lines a little bit, no? Like maybe leaning on this fourth line so much is a bad idea? [BSH]

*And finally, sounds like Rick Tocchet is thinking of throwing Oliver Bonk into the mix in a huge, important, high-pressure home game tonight. Bold move Cotton, let’s see if it pays off for him. If it even happens. Go Flyers! [BSH]
