*The Flyers are back at it again tonight, kicking off a little two-game road trip in St. Louis. Before tonight’s game, some takeaways from Wednesday’s annoying loss to the Oilers. [Inquirer]
*And if you’re a subscriber over at Charlie’s website, you can read his Observations on that Oilers game. [PHLY]
*Wednesday’s loss was frustrating, not only because of how it played out but because it seems like it played out in a way that way too many games this season have played out. [The Athletic]
*Anyway let’s talk about something awesome: Noah Cates. And the fact that his dominance so far this season, if continued, might make Sean Couturier’s remaining time with this team a little easier for all of us. [BSH]
*Denver Barkey is also pretty awesome and you can read all about him and some other guys playing well up in Allentown in Maddie’s latest Phantoms report over at the other website. [PHLY]
*There were some pretty big trades this offseason, including one of our own, and seems like a good time to take a look at how they’re working out for the teams involved. [Sportsnet]
*Speaking of big offseason changes, here’s a little vibe-check on the nine new head coaches working in the NHL this season. Well, the guys with new teams. None of these guys are ever “new”. [The Athletic]
*And finally, are you a fan of jam bands? Being chill while live music plays, perhaps? Well do the Flyers have a special night just for you! [Inquirer]
