*The Phantoms wrapped up their season this weekend to a packed house up in Allentown and it may have been Mike McKenna’s final professional hockey game. He seems like a good dude. [BSH] *Joel Farabee has been impressive as heck all year and now he’s the rookie of the year. [NBC Sports Philly] *Ron Hextall…
*If I could just make an >eyes< emoji here I totally would but I can’t so… might Ivan Provorov be close to a deal with the Flyers? [BSH] *DGB has pinned down the exact game at which point the Flyers ruined their chances at winning the lottery. [The Athletic] *There a bit of coaching speculation…
It’s a loud episode of BSH Radio this week, with Bill going to bat for a decidedly bad coaching candidate, anarchy among the fan base and nothing having actually happened in so long that we’re eating our young. Does Travis Sanheim’s emergence make Ghost more tradable? How do they change the culture of underachievement? Is…
*Turns out Ghost was hurt! Which is good, I guess? Better than just bad? [Philly.com] *This would help explain why his play this season was… sub-optimal.

*Big game seven in Boston tonight, friends! Who ya got? *Not a lot going on in Flyers-ville at the moment, unless you’re super into discussing long-dead singers and statuary removal. Anyhoo, what’s next for Scott Gordon? The Phantoms, one hopes. He was good up there. [NBC Sports Philly] *After being eliminated by the Blues, the…
*The second round is beginning to come into focus for us now, and you’d probably be lying if you said things have shook out the way you expected. These playoffs have been a big steaming pile of parity thus far and oh boy does the league love that. [Calgary Sun] * If you were too…
