*Noted Very Good Hockey Team™ the Nashville Predators are in town tonight and it’ll be very interesting to see if the Flyers can repeat their strong performance from Tuesday night against some much tougher competition.

*Charlie’s also got Ten Things for you. If you subscribe, that is. If you don’t you should, it’s good stuff. [The Athletic]
*Perhaps the most important thing we learned is that Carter Hart did not crumble under the pressure of the NHL, and also he has a very adorable family. [Philly.com]
*Have you been wondering what John Boruk thinks of Carter Hart’s debut? No? Well here it is anyway. [NBC Sports Philly]
*Chaz is still getting to know his new organization, and apparently no one told him there are more than one Skate Zone location. Which lead to a lot of driving for this poor guy. [NBC Sports Philly]
*So how about those Phantoms?! [BSH]
*There’s some weird stuff going on with Buffalo’s Patrik Berglund [ProHockeyTalk]
*You may think that the NHL having a terrible playoff format is a recent development, but nope. DGB looks back at all of the dumb ways the NHL has structured the most exciting part of their product. [The Athletic]
*It’s almost World Juniors time!! Which is extremely fun, if you ask me. And Team Canada is predictably stacked, including our boy Morgan Frost. [Sportsnet]
