It's a shame for Philadelphia to see Travis Konecny left out, but the addition of Tom Wilson to Team Canada thickens the plot with a new villain who didn't play in the 4 Nations Face-Off

Team Canada does have a "stand-by list" of replacements.
Doug Armstrong didn't openly name any players on it, but Travis Konecny is a logical candidate as an injury replacement

Incredible quick response by the Flyers when they could’ve sat on their heels after the Canucks got life.

Do you give credit at halftime for scoring 72 points or blame the Sixers for giving up 72 points?

Joel Embiid just gave up the opportunity for an easy bucket by going way too far trying to make a highlight reel.
Instead of recovering from the turnover, he stayed at the offensive end and let Memphis get an easy bucket 5-on-4

"Credit and blame is never holistic. However, the cringy offensive game in Buffalo was as drastic of an indictment on the Eagles coaching staff in a December road victory against a playoff opponent that anyone could've realistically imagined."
Offensive Struggles Against Bills Are An Indictment on Eagles Coaching Staff

The Eagles proved on Sunday that scoring 50 points in 2 blowout wins against bad teams meant nothing.
Another smooth game by the 1st-team offense against Washington might help NFC playoff seeding, but it wouldn't impact anybody's confidence.

Denver Barkey has been outstanding generating scoring chances in only 4 games.
He’s earned power play time and trust from the coach in a small sample, which is possible in hockey more than other sports

I don’t care what the yardage stats, points per game stats, or analytics say. The Eagles have the best defense in the NFL.
The Eagles are also an embarrassment on offense with the most expensive offense in the NFL in an era dominated by offense.

The Eagles have gained 17 yards and 1 first down on 5 possessions in the 2nd half.
The 13 points they scored in the 1st half were boosted by the advantageous positions the defense put them in

Left a little meat on the bone with the field goal on the final drive, but still an excellent first half on the road for the Eagles.
