Bill Meltzer: Meltzer's Musings: Flyers Monthly Schedule Breakdown

Bill, big fan here--do you think the Flyers will still move Coburn if they can't move Mez?

Hate the new Metropolitan division name. I think it's the hardest one out there.

I think if they can't move Meszaros -- and I still they can and will by the end of the preseason, assuming he's healthy -- they would reluctantly trade Grossmann, assuming he's healthy (which I would be opposed to, but understand). The only way Coburn gets moved is if they get a satisfactory return.

I agree. The name is ridiculous. Yay were in the metro division.

Nj devils 22 back to backs

I think it's a travesty. Olympic participation creates such a clusterseravalli of a schedule. To hell with the Olympics, go back to the World Cup

At least they have the goalies for it now.

From here on I am calling it the "Gary Bettman f'n sucks division!"

I just think it's funny that 6 of the Metro division teams are closer to the Atlantic than 6 of the Atlantic teams.

I love Olympic participation and hate the All Star Game. Start a week earlier and end a week later and there's no difficulty with the schedule.

There's another afternoon home game in November:

Sat. Nov. 9th vs. Edmonton - 1:00 PM

That would make too much sense, were talking about the NHL here

It seems that our schedule is much more favorable than other teams for back to backs and 3 in 4s than it was last year. Do people agree? Also, id like to know how many times we play teams on the back end of their back2backs. Last year, it just seemed that we had a very difficult schedule in this regard.

better than the proposed Lemieux division

at least I see the Flyers here in So Fl 2x against the Panthers

so

pens
rags
flyers
caps

wings
bruins
leafs
sens

is that what we're thinking? something along those lines? maybe caps out and isles/jackets in?

I still don't get how they play 8 games in 17 days right off the bat, then have a 6-day break.

Metropolitan is the lamest division title I've ever heard in my entire life.

F u Bettman.

Not taking an Olympic break would be a lot of fun to watch in the NHL. To see a lot of younger guys get a crack at the big team would be fun for everyone.

How dare you propose fewer Pittsburgh/Washington games.

- jmatchett383

Yeah I always enjoy those. I'm willing to bet that of the many back to back games we have, we play the pens multiple times after we play the night before.

I just think it's funny that 6 of the Metro division teams are closer to the Atlantic than 6 of the Atlantic teams.

and those huge metropolitans of New Jersey, Carolina and Columbus

Not possible with a Salary Cap.
