*Boys are in Colorado tonight to play the league’s best team, so this should go well. Honestly, just don’t embarrass yourselves again. That’s enough for this one. Anyhoo, here’s Charlie’s thoughts on Wednesday’s huge embarrassing failure ahead of tonight’s… very good game? [PHLY]
*Okay yeah so that loss in Utah was an ugly one and it is hard after seeing that kind of performance not to make a bunch of huge sweeping judgements about the state of the team. But if you think about it rationally, that loss doesn’t change a single thing. [BSH]
*It was a real, real bad loss though! And the boys are going to have to really work tonight to get over it. Here’s hoping they give a full 60. [The Athletic]
*Rick Tocchet certainly had some Thoughts about the loss. And he said a lot of them out loud. [BSH]
*Not a single of your Philadelphia Flyers is on the latest Trade Bait list. Makes you think. [TSN]
*The latest power rankings, in the form of the assist machines on each and every team in the league. [Sportsnet]
*And finally, yes. Like we said up there, one loss doesn’t change much. But a string of bad performances really does get you thinking about stuff, you know? Like where exactly is this team in the rebuild process? What are we doing here? Fair questions. We tried to answer some of them. [BSH]
