* How do you know things are getting rough in Flyerland? Ed Snider is not only talking, but he’s saying that what he sees — in particular, in regards to the team’s utter lack of depth scoring — is unlike anything he’s ever seen “in all the years I’ve been in hockey.” Now THAT is terrifying. He had some other thoughts, too. [Philly.com]
* Anywho. Game tonight against the Shorks of San Jose. 10:00 p.m. start so take a nap when you get home today. Preview: [Flyers.com]

* Some good news! Both Travis Sanheim (10 goals and 15 assists in 27 games this year with Calgary) and Samuel Morin (2 goals, 6 assists in 9 games with Rimouski) are part of the 10 defensemen invited to Canada’s World Juniors camp. They’ll know if they’ve made the final cut by Christmas: [Flyers.com]
