It’s that magical time of year again, you guys! Eurovision! The Flyers may have lost in the first round of the playoffs, but it’s totally okay because Eurovision came early this year! Everything is okay now! (If you don’t know what Eurovision is by now, I’ve written about it here at Broad Street Hockey at…
UPDATE, 5/16, 1:45 p.m.: Via Anthony SanFilippo, the Flyers say they have not heard from Gustafsson and his agent and were not aware that he was planning on making this move, and that they still plan to extend him a qualifying offer to hang on to his rights as expected.

After a schadenfreude-inducing first round loss to the New York Rangers, the Pittsburgh Penguins should give general manager Jim Rutherford the boot.
