1) Team USA Blue, featuring Flyers prospect Tanner Laczynski routed Team Finland, 8-1, at the WJC Evaluation Camp game in Plymouth, Michigan earlier today. Laczynski assisted on a Jeremy Bracco goal.



Team USA White dropped a 6-3 verdict to Sweden. Flyers goalie prospect Felix Sandström started for Sweden, stopping 44 of 47 shots. Flyers defense prospect David Bernhard also suited up for the Swedes. He did not get on the scoresheet.



2) I apologize for the lack of a blog earlier today. I spent all day and the evening working on projects related to the Flyers' 50th Anniversary season. Normal morning blogs will resume tomorrow morning.

3) Today in Flyers history: July 31

On this day in 2001, the Flyers traded defenseman Andy Delmore to the Nashville Predators in exchange for a 2002 third-round pick (later dealt to the Coyotes). Delmore was originally an undrafted rookie free agent from the OHL's Sarnia Sting. The biggest highlights of his career in the Flyers organization were being a key part of the Phantoms' 2007-08 Calder Cup championship team and scoring a Stanley Cup playoff hat trick against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2000 postseason. In Nashville, the offensive-minded Delmore had seasons of 16 and 18 goals.
