Quick Hits: March 18, 2024

1) Coming off Saturday's 6-5 loss in Boston, the Flyers return to practice on Monday at the FTC in Voorhees. The posted schedule for the week:

Mon -- Noon practice at FTC
Tue -- 10:30 a.m. morning skate at FTC, 7:00 p.m. game vs Toronto at Wells Fargo Center
Wed -- Noon practice at FTC, Flight to Raleigh
Thu -- 11:30 a.m. morning skate at PNC Arena, 7:00 p.m. game vs Carolina
Fri -- Noon practice at FTC
Sat -- 1:00 p.m. game vs. Boston at Wells Fargo Center
Sun -- 6:00 p.m. game vs. Florida at Wells Fargo Center

Note: I would be quite surprised if the listed practice for Friday -- amid a slate of three extremely tough games in a four-night span -- actually takes place. With a road game on Thursday, I'd be mildly surprised if there's a practice on Wednesday rather than everyone simply meeting up before the flight. This time of the season in particular, rest takes priority over practice. Monday's practice, however, is a certainty.

2) Yesterday, overlapping with St. Patrick's Day, the annual Flyers Charities Carnival was held at the Wells Fargo Center. It's always a good time. Mostly, I took pictures at the Flyers Alumni autograph station for use on the Alumni's social media and website. I did, however, have an opportunity to walk around the concourse and the event floor. Participating Alumni included Bernie Parent, Jimmy Watson, Bob Kelly, Brian Propp, Brad Marsh and Ed Hospodar in the first session and John LeClair, Dave Schultz, Joe Watson, Doug Crossman, Andre Faust, and Neil Little in the latter session. Dan Hilferty and Lindy Snider stopped by as well.



3) Flyers Daily: On the weekly Monday's with Meltzer edition of Flyers Daily, Jason Myrtetus and I dissect what (apart from how depleted the Flyers blueline is right now) has been the cause of the Flyers hemorrhaging goals against of late. We talk about Saturday's game in Boston, what makes the Carnival a special event and the upcoming games against top competition. To listen to the 25-minute episode, click here.
