Meltzer’s Musings: 9-8-10
September 8, 2010
I remain in favor of the Flyers signing Bill Guerin to a one-year contract. From what I gather, the team would prefer to bring him in on a "tryout" basis (although there's nothing they can learn about him that they didn't already know) while evaluating their roster and salary cap situation. The Guerin camp wants a deal in place beforehand. One possibility if the club is unwilling to waive seven

Mike Richards Fight Fest
September 7, 2010
One of the features of the newly released NHL '11 that we're most excited about here at Flyers Goal Scored By is the inclusion of all 3 junior leagues that make up the CHL. We've always loved the culture of the CHL - the teams, the towns, the fights, the townies, and the fights. Also, we like the fights. So in lieu of actually thinking of something creative to write on this breezy Tuesday night in September, I'm going to post a clip of what might be the best fight of Mike Richards' hockey career. If you haven't seen this one from the 2005 OHL playoffs then shame on you.

10 Days Until Training Camp
September 7, 2010
Photo: 
Labor Day Weekend has passed, grilling season has ended (for most people), pools are closing, and school is in full swing for the kids. The weather is starting to turn crisp, and leaves will soon shrivel up and cover the streets. And finally, after a few agonizing months of waiting, HOCKEY IS BACK! Another season of crushing the Devils? I hope so! (Courtesy: SB Nation) As usual, the Flyers have plenty of questions heading into the new season, along with high expectations.

Flyers vs. Caps Rookies: Commercial
September 3, 2010
So in 13 days the Flyers are going to take the ice and play another NHL team. Granted, the casual fan won't know many of the players on the ice for the Flyers, and even the most obsessed fan won't know much about the opposition, but it's hockey. And thank G-O-D for that. I can't imagine how long this hot, hot summer's been for fans that didn't have games well into June. That's not even a shot at anyone, that's just me truthin'.

Opening for Host of Show We Don’t Have Already Filled
September 2, 2010
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.

Meltzer’s Musings: 9 -2 -10
September 2, 2010
Until recently, the defense position has not been regarded as a particular strength of the Flyersâ 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

Guerin, No Thanks
September 2, 2010
Photo: 
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)

Flyers! The Movie Coming to Theatres Near You in 2012
September 2, 2010
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.

Would Guerin Work Here?
September 1, 2010
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

New faces in New places, who challenges Flyers in the East in 2010-11
September 1, 2010

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
