It was going to be a simple job description. We needed a passionate Flyers fan who calls himself Humphrey Flogart and Mr. Casanova Coffee Brown to use phrases such as 'man with the golden gun' and be willing to break down goaltending video. Then Jon showed me this: 'You know better than to drive in a fucking car while half asleep.' Mr. EvenStatus , when our deal comes through we'll be awaiting your call.

Until recently, the defense position has not been regarded as a particular strength of the Flyers’ clubs of the last decade. The perception has often been that the top three or four are decent but the team has lacked solid depth. Even so, there is actually a pretty good field of contenders of defenseman of the decade honors, and a tough choice for the second-team selection if one is to choose on

So my daily visit to the Flyers website revealed an interesting piece of news. Bill Guerin had an informal skating session with our boys, with permission from Paul Holmgren . He downplays the significance, saying that he was visiting family in the area, and just wanted to skate a bit. I call bullshit! I do not want him wearing Orange and Black; he’s not welcome. But I have a sneaking suspicion that he’ll get a chance to earn a roster spot. Yeah, keep looking away. (Courtesy: TSN.ca) It’s not about whether or not he can play and contribute something to the team (he can). It’s about his history, and what he’s been a part of over the years. He’s been a significant part of two franchises that rolled over us in the Eastern Conference Finals en route to a Stanley Cup Championship. And it’s not just any franchises, it’s two out of our biggest rivals of all time: the New Jersey Devils (1995) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (2009)

We've been petitioning the Flyers to allow us to shoot a documentary, much like Jimmy Fallon did with the Red Sox, for the better part of 3 years. And they finally caved in. Kind of. Instead of letting us follow the team around with two cameras for the 2010-11 season, capturing all the tomfoolery of the road, the highs of success, and the lows of defeat, they decided to allow us to film ourselves watching their games as long as we don't mistakenly get any of the actual games in any shots. Which is cool, I guess. But just to make sure that we capture the true emotions of a full NHL season as seen through players' eyes Fran went ahead and greenlit(?) an actual dramadey called 'Flyers! The Movie.' Seeing as you're a paying member of Flyers Goal Scored By Insider, we thought it'd be cool to let you know who's been cast for which roles before the general public finds out. We're sending out the letters today and are fairly sure that these fine actors will be willing to clear their schedules for a Thanksgiving weekend start. We're planning on bringing our team to meet the actual Flyers on Black Friday, but I'm getting ahead of myself.

Talking to Bill Guerin today, I wondered whether the Flyers would have signed Jody Shelley had they known that PGH wasn't going to re-up on Guerin. Guerin is an ideal kind of player who can help any Stanley Cup contender as those of us who were around the Penguins in 2009 during their Cup run can attest to. He's the perfect guy in a room for a young captain like Sidney Crosby or Mike Richard

The off-season of 2010 has been a wild one; many players have found new homes as the NHL looks drastically different then it has last season. Your Philadelphia Flyers have been one of the more active teams so far bringing in forwards: Jody Shelley, Nikolai Zherdev and what many believe will soon be veteran forward Bill Guerin. The blue line has become a lot deeper as well as the most expensive in the league with the additions of Andrej Meszaros, Sean O’Donnell and Matt Walker. But if the Flyers want to repeat the success that they had last season, two things must happen. Continued success must carry over from last season and they must bring that high level of play into the arena every night to win games against much improved teams! So lets look around the NHL to see which teams have improved and which have regressed. The Pittsburgh Penguins have always been a tough team to play and with 6 games against them in the regular season that rough task will continue. Our former friend Arron Asham has joined the Pens this off-season and this gritty 5’11, 200 lb winger will bring a lot more to this team then most people will give him credit for. Ash is a hard-nosed guy with soft hands, and when he is given the room to do so he is actually able to light the lamp a bit

Free agent Guerin in Orange and Black? Unrestricted free agents Bill Guerin and Todd Fedoruk are skating with several Flyers at the Skate Zone in Voorhees but Paul Holmgren tells me today that it does not mean they are campaigning to wear the Orange and Black. "Bill's wife is from around here (Medford) and his agent (Bob Murray) called to see if it was OK for him to skate here a few days and I told him he could. But don't read anything into it. We're happy with our team." Former Flyer Justin Williams, who owns a home at the Jersey Shore, has also skated with the Flyers in recent days. Holmgren said opposing players are welcome to practice at the Skate Zone until Labor Day. After that, the rink will be used only for Flyers players and prospects. Guerin also downplayed his first informal practice with the Flyers.

Hard to believe, but there are just 14 days left before the NHL hits training camp after one of the most exciting seasons in recent memory. The Philadelphia Flyers are coming a season where they won the Eastern Conf. Title and made it to Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals. What will this year bring the orange and black? We have plenty of time to discuss that, so lets save that for a later date. Furthermore, an interesting bit of news came out of the Flyers Skate Zone in Voorhees NJ today. Recently released NHL veteran Bill Guerin, was seen working out in Flyers gear this morning, according to CSNPhilly.com’s Tim Panaccio. Guerin, 39, was surprisingly released from the Pittsburgh Penguins on August 27th when the Pens decided not to bring him back to the team for the 2010-11 season

Guerin looking for tryout offer, players arrive early
The news that Bill Guerin is working out with the Flyers in hopes of landing a tryout is no surprise. It had been rumored for several weeks that Guerin was interested in Philly if the Penguins did not re-sign him. As long as a reasonable one-season contract can be worked out, Guerin is a good fit for the Flyers even at age 39. He still has some scoring pop left, adds some muscle and toughness a

The local TV schedule was released yesterday, following last weeks announcement of the national TV schedule . I noticed that only one of the games will be on Comcast Sportsnet, and two on The Comcast Network. That leaves 5 games without TV coverage. I know all 8 games will be on the radio, but it’s not the same. Baseball and football work well on radio because those sports have a lot of starting and stopping. Hockey, a real man’s sport, is much more free flowing, and just listening to play by play simply doesn’t do it justice. It’s not that preseason hockey is so great and that I can’t stand missing games as if they counted. I like to see the different line combinations, I like to see the players trying to make the team, and I like to somewhat get a feel for how the veterans look. In contrast to preseason football, a preseason hockey game is actually pretty fun. There’s no such thing as vanilla offense, every guy (veteran or rookie) busts his ass on every shift, and the pace is pretty close to how it will be in the regular season.
