*It’s Flyers At The Olympics Time! We (and by we I mean me, the person writing this, who is technically sort of in charge, and I did not consult anyone else so the views expressed here may not reflect the views of Broad Street Hockey as a whole) are rooting for Team Czechia around here, and our boy Dan Vladar is pumped and ready to go! [Inquirer]
*Presumably Rick Tocchet is also pumped and ready to go. [Inquirer]
*In fact it’s probably safe to assume that all of the NHLers competing in Italy are super, super excited about this, as most of them have been waiting most, if not all, of their careers waiting for this opportunity. [TSN]
*All the boys have to wear neck guards during this tournament, and naturally there seem to be some mixed reviews on this mandate. [Sportsnet]
*The Beanpot was also happening this week, and unfortunately the two Flyers Kids involved did not come away with the title. [BSH]
*While we’re talking Flyers, this break is a good time for some reflection on this season so far. One thing to note is that Jamie Drysdale has really taken another stop forward this year, and that’s very good for the Flyers. [BSH]
*And finally… let the 25 Under 25 content begin!! First up, as is tradition, are the honorable mentions. You almost made it, boys. Maybe next year. [BSH]
