*As we told you a couple of days ago, the BSH Top 25 Under 25 is about to kick off but before we get into the official results, we decided to give a little love to the guys who aged out of the fun. [BSH]
*Speaking of things that are good, do you ever think about how cool it is that there is such a thriving hockey community in Philly and the surrounding area? The Flyers have tried very hard to ruin it with their on-ice play, but this is still a hockey town. And this charity tournament is a great example. [Inquirer]
*Anyway, big news yesterday! Our long national nightmare* is over(*the one regarding Ryan Johansen. The other nightmares persist.)! [BSH]
*One of John Tortorella’s fun little quirks was his apparent love of going 11-7 with his lineup. Even when he didn’t explicitly need to. Now that we are no longer subject to Torts’ whims, should the Flyers continue to use the extra defenseman? [BSH]
*When I read this piece on ESPN about the Tkachuk brothers, my immediate thought was “oh god, they’re going to make these two into The Hockey Kelces and it’s going to be so annoying.” [ESPN]
*Then I went over to this other website to hunt for links and found that someone else had that idea too. Great minds! [The Athletic]
*Brady Tkachuk (he’s definitely the Jason of this pair, right? Like Matthew is so clearly Travis, no?) is excited about Trevor Zegras being on the Flyers so that’s cool. He’s just like us. [BSH]
*And finally, to bring it all back to the Flyers, Taylor Swift is blessing us all with A New Era Of Orange. Plan the parade. [BSH]
