*Despite giving up the first goal last night, the Flyers really took it to San Jose and came away with a nice decisive win for Matvei Michkov’s birthday. We love to see it. RECAP!
*Big story heading into yesterday’s game was, of course, Ty Murchison making his NHL debut, which is always cool. And we got a rookie lap!
*If you want to know a little bit more about Murchison after watching last night’s game, good news! We have the best Phantoms coverage in the world right here. [BSH]
*With debuts we always get great stories about how these kids got to this point, life-long dreams and such, and it’s a joy to read. [Inquirer]
*Everyone is always emotional! It’s very sweet! [NBC Sports Philly]
*Big story during last night’s game was Travis Konecny hitting the 500 point milestone! Here’s to 500 more, TK. [BSH]
*Anyway, the Flyers. The 4th line stinks and that needs to change. As we learned last night, all you need to do it put Not Plugs on that line and then they might do stuff! Wild concept. [The Athletic]
*Jett Luchanko seems to have settled in with his new team and is looking pretty darn good up there! [BSH]
*Wysh takes a look at all 32 teams to see which emerging trends are real, and which ones are just smoke and mirrors. [ESPN]
*Using your access to ask NHL players “who has the most punchable face” is, quite frankly, tremendous content. [The Athletic]
*And finally, because everything is sports and sometimes you just need a little break from talking about the Flyers, we ranked every episode of the very good television series “Black Mirror”. You’re welcome. [BSH]
