"I think he had like six breakaways today, like, it's crazy. He fell down on the 2-on-0 that we had, and he was still skating faster than me. It's wild, it's wild...amazing." – Trevor Zegras

When Owen Tippett gets skating downhill like he did tonight, good luck.

On the Barkey-Michkov wing duo...
Alex Bump's deceptive shot...
Missing Tyson Foerster badly...
And maybe Alex Ovechkin's last skate in Philly.
Some loose thoughts on the Flyers:

new story… spoke to @dsaraiya.bsky.social about thriving in the Philly sports community as an artist, the use of AI as “art,” and, naturally, the Phillies. open.substack.com/pub/broadstr...
Seeler said Monday's faceplant was "a focus thing."
Couturier said "we pissed away a game."
Tocchet said "guys looked nervous."
They're saying this in March, and after crumbling to one of the NHL's worst teams.
Tells you everything about the Flyers.

"We pissed away a game here tonight...just awful." - Sean Couturier
The Flyers lost to the Rangers.
It was pretty bad.
They're still technically alive, but you can't say the rest of this season is going anywhere with duds like this.

On Alex Bump's call-up, the nerves, and leaving them behind to make an immediate mark:
www.phillyvoice.com/flyers-alex-...
Absolutely!
I do think a lot of us weren't fully prepared for how slow and methodical Briere was actually going to be.
I'm guilty of it too. It's easy to get anxious and apathetic when you're still here in March with another season fading.
When he said they were gonna take their time, he wasn't kidding.
The Flyers' wing logjam is here.
Bobby Brink was the first casualty of it with his trade to Minnesota.
But it might be Alex Bump's turn, and Porter Martone is on his way, so they need the room.
Danny Brière's starting to make it:

The initial reaction to the Brink-Jiříček trade from earlier today:
www.phillyvoice.com/flyers-trade...
Ristolainen is still here.
Brink went to the Wild, and the Flyers got the guy who went one pick after you know who.
A recap of the moves and rumors from what ended up a pretty tame deadline day:

Matvei Michkov looked like Matvei Michkov again.
"He looked fast," Travis Konecny said. "He looked confident with the puck. It was good."

It's back to reality and to a key decision for the Flyers the rest of the way.

Quietly, Travis Sanheim proved he belonged right there with Canada's best.
On the Flyers defenseman's silver medal run at the Olympics:

Wrote way too much about the Flyers while this Canada game is going crazy:

• On Sanheim and Ristolainen in the Canada-Finland semifinal...
• Macklin Celebrini's insane international heater (sure would be nice for the Flyers to have a center like that)...
• And the Golden Goal for the U.S. women:

And for the record: I believe Hurts is elite in his own distinct way.
He lost the first time, but he's the only current QB to keep the promise of coming back to win a title.
That ring, that parade mean so much.

On Feb. 4, Matt Selman, The Simpsons EP, texted Christine Nangle with an idea.
Their friend, Dan McQuade, planned to write about their Philly-themed episode. But he passed away before he could do so.
Selman and Nangle decided to add him to it — days before it aired www.inquirer.com/sports/dan-m...
You can argue about elite QBs until you're blue in the face.
But your team really doesn't need one to win.
Good is more than good enough with the right fit.
Just look at the Eagles and Seahawks:
www.phillyvoice.com/eagles-jalen...
Rasmus Ristolainen, Olympic +/- leader lol.
Plus, Travis Sanheim rotated in for Canada a bit, Dan Vladar got one odd start for Czechia, and a former fan favorite took his career victory lap with France.
A Flyers Olympic check-in:

Bryce Harper seemed irritated about the "elite" thing not being kept "in-house."
But he and the Phillies should probably get real about their situation, and get uncomfortable.
It might be their only path forward.
www.phillyvoice.com/bryce-harper...
"He'll be back."
It was said about Joe Burrow, Brock Purdy, and now Drake Maye after they each lost in the Super Bowl.
But it's so much easier said than done, rare even.
Only one active QB has actually made the journey back to win it: Jalen Hurts.
