*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…
