Oh hey, remember hockey? It was that sport that you liked once upon a time, back before some jolly dude dressed in red committed home invasion against billions of people this past weekend.
The world is obviously reeling from this brazen crime spree, but have no fear -- sports are a distraction from the difficulties of life, and the Philadelphia Flyers are here to help you forget.
Since we last saw them, the Flyers have basically held steady in the standings thanks to a league-wide holiday break. They enter tonight’s game in St. Louis, the first of a three-game road trip that will carry them into 2017, seven points up on the trailing Carolina Hurricanes in the Metropolitan Division standings.
