*God August is so boring. Nick Foles decided not to wear #9 again to honor his time in Philly, I’m sure you’re all pretty emotional about that. Yay. [NBC Sports Philly] *Charlie on JvR, and why the Flyers might do well to look North for some advice on how to get the most out of…
The 25 Under 25 party continues to roll, and we’ve got a little bit to say about numbers 24 through 20. In honor of Carter Hart’s birthday, we run through a fun look back at the Flyers’ rather wacky goaltending history and think long and hard about whether or not a rookie might have a…
*Did you know that every day the sun is setting two or three minutes shorter than the one before? Winter is coming. Happy Monday! *One of the newer prospects that hasn’t garnered a ton of attention yet is Ronnie Attard, but you’ll probably start hearing more about him as the pool in front of him…
*Friends, after weeks of absolutely agonizing lack of Flyers hockey articles, we were blessed by the gods yesterday. It was Flyers day on NHL.com. [NHL.com] *And not just NHL.com. It was also Flyers day at ProHockeyTalk! They started off by taking a look at the overall status of the team. [ProHockeyTalk] *Then they took a…
*Since nothing continues to happen, here’s a link to a tweet with some absolutely wild speculation about Ivan Provorov.

*Rumors are starting to kick around about Travis Konecny being possibly maybe sort-of close to signing a deal. No one has written an actual journalistic article about these rumors just yet, they only exist in the ephemeral world of Twitter. But something happening would be nice! In the meantime, check out Bill Matz’s wrestling podcast…

*Everybody have a good weekend? Maybe we’ll get a Konecny contract this week? Hopefully? Anyhoo, this is from last week’s Flyers day on PHT but it’s worth its own link because a) it reminds us how good our top line is and b) confirms they need a bottom nine that can get things done. [ProHockeyTalk]…
