TSN's Ice Chips for May 28

A strange moment early in practice on Friday. Jonathan Toews suprisingly nailed Dustin Byfuglien into the corner in a non-contact situation. Byfuglien fell awkwardly and then gave Toews the evil eye. The pair laughed about it a few seconds later. - TSN

Winger Andrew Ladd will take the morning skate on Friday and says there is a chance he'll play in Game 1. Tomas Kopecky had been out with a lower body injury, but took all the line rushes with the 3rd line. Bryan Bickell has also played in earlier in the playoffs and is an option. The club spent a great deal of time on the power play, 5 on 4 and 5 on 3. No changes to either unit. - TSN

The Flyers are trying to become the first team to defeat three straight Original Six franchises in the playoffs since the 1992 Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Rangers, Bruins and Blackhawks - Philadelphia Inquirer
