Adam French: Draft Spotlight : Flyers
There was some good feedback for the last one of these so Iâm committed going forward to do the Oilers, Sabres and Canadiens after this one at least. Like I said in the Leaf one, this is my own opinions and they certainly have many flaws, so feel free to spout your minds.
The Flyers are in an interesting place. They are loaded with young talented forwards who have graduated...
Bill Meltzer: Meltzer's Musings: Hartnell's Down Season in Context, Memorial Cup
Expect a Bounce-Back from Hartnell in 2013-14
There's no two ways about it: Scott Hartnell had a miserable 2013 season. He was not in top game shape at the start of the season, sustained a broken foot in the third game of the regular season and struggled mightily to catch up for the next six weeks. By the time he started to look like even a semblance of the player he was...

Bill Meltzer: Meltzer's Musings: Briere, World Championship QFs
Is Briere Tradable?
It is almost inevitable that Danny Briere will not be a member of the Philadelphia Flyers next year. The only question is whether he will be bought out or traded. The former is the more likely scenario.
Briere has a no-movement clause in his contract, which includes an all-inclusive no-trade. As such, Briere does not have to accept any trade he doesn'...
Bryzgalov praises Stalin in interview
To most people, former Russian dictator Joseph Stalin is remembered as a man responsible for the deaths of tens of millions, a reviled figure who saw no need for human rights.

Ilya Bryzgalov Says Very Ilya Bryzgalov Things
Ilya Bryzgalov is more than just a grossly overpaid goalie. He’s an existential stormtrooper, an avid Angry Birds player, and apparently a big Josef Stalin fan. Whatever your thoughts on his play may be, it is hard to argue that Bryz is an absolute treasure trove of quirk and is fun to listen to. Whether it be his dislike for the weather in Edmonton: or this unbelievably smooth...
The Thrill Of Victory, The Agony Of Defeat And The Sanctity Of Game 7
On April 24, 2011 – my 24th birthday – the Philadelphia Flyers gave me a gift. A 5-4 win over Buffalo sent the teams’ first-round playoff series to a seventh game. Rooting interest didn’t make the win gift-worthy. At that point – like now – the winner was of little significance. Game 6’s result held [...]The post The Thrill Of Victory, The Agony Of Defeat And The Sanctity...
