We are at the mushy middle of the NHL regular season. Not yet getting excited by transactions or realistic rumors within the weeks prior to the trade deadline, but already past the part of the season that has enough runway for a team to change the direction they are going. Everything has been pretty much decided right now, so we’re just coasting and biding our time until we can think about those damn things we love so much but they don’t typically love us back: trades.
Enough overarching narratives, the Philadelphia Flyers are playing a hockey game tonight and whether that makes you want to tingle with fear or turns you inanimate, it will be happening in Motor City against the Detroit Red Wings.
