*Go time on what, you ask? Well, dear reader, we have elected to use this nice long Olympic break productively by running through a winter edition of the BSH 25 Under 25! LET’S GO! [BSH]
*Also great news, everyone: people are still weighing in on the Matvei Michkov/Rick Tocchet… situation. Great. Surely you were wondering what Chris Pronger thought of all this. [Inquirer]
*Otherwise it’s All Olympics in the hockey cinematic universe, and these are the things we’re going to be watching for when we tune in to see our three Olympians hit the ice. [BSH]
*The men’s tournament hasn’t even started yet and already we are asking if Team USA can beat Team Canada for gold. Maybe let’s see what happens first, hmm?? [ESPN]
*If Team Canada is going to do it they’re going to have to overcome what is some objectively sus goaltending. [TSN]
*Looks like Team USA are the party boys and Team Canada are the quiet nerds around the Olympic Village so guess we’ll see how that affects things. [Sportsnet]
*It’s not a tournament without predictions, so here’s some of those. What are yours, dear reader? You got a dark horse to medal? [The Athletic]
*The latest power rankings, in the form of each team’s most underperforming player who really needs to step it up when we come out of this break. [The Athletic]
*And finally, with nothing in the way of Current Flyers Events to speak of, we’re looking to the past for funsies. And these are the three best brawls in Flyers’ history, if you ask us. [BSH]
