He's another Swiss D man (see a trend here?) Here's the Flyers announcement Thoughts? Eminger, as you have heard gets the one year deal @ $1.2. Again, with a new start on his second team with players now having gone through a full year on a 'system' I'm excited to see what this guy can do. I remember picking him his rookie year in m Mon, 30 Jun 2008 12:15:38 -0400flyers flames http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=15853 It was a wonderful Spring at the Russell household for a couple of reasons. First, the Flyers run was an unexpected surprise and gave us 5 more weeks of Philly hockey. Which, of course, now makes the 'off season' that much shorter. Training camp doesn't seem SO far away as it did the previous year. Second, during these playoffs, I finally was able to have my 3 year old son "watch" hockey. A Tue, 24 Jun 2008 12:02:32 -0400Flyers blue jackets http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=15384 Today at the SkateZone in Voorhees, Coach John Stevens and GM Paul Holmgren met with we the media at noon to reflect upon the year that was and the moves needed for the season ahead. Stevens opened the his comments saying the loss to Pittsburgh "is still stinging," and that he realizes "there is a lot of work to be done to close the gap with the teams ahead of us." He implied that though teams Tue, 20 May 2008 14:06:50 -0400flyers http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=15358 The Pens did everything better than the Flyers today. They deserved to move on, no question. No need for a eulogy right now. There will be time enough for reflection and analysis. Our own Bill Meltzer always covers that with great aplomb. Game Bullets: 2nd goal was the killer. Marty needs to reassess his puck handling decisions.

From yesterday's presser: “I think I'm ready to go. Now it's up to coaches,” said Timonen, who missed the last four games with a blood clot in his left foot. “I haven't talked to John [Stevens] yet, but personally, I'm ready to go tomorrow. “I felt pretty good today, and that's why I'm pretty confident to say I'm rea Sun, 18 May 2008 13:22:31 -0400Flyers http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=15345 According to the Flyers website, Kimmo’s a go and Coburn had a good practice. Sounds like Braydon is a game time decision. Just in time, as the “Home Malkin Show” will surely be center stage… “I think I'm ready to go. Now it's up to coaches,” said Timonen, who missed the last four games with a blood clot in his left foot. “I haven't talked to John [Stevens] yet, but personally, Sat, 17 May 2008 16:35:44 -0400Flyers http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=15324 Ah yes, in this day and age of instant video one can find all sorts of goodies out there. Here's one sent to me by a HB reader from the other night for your enjoyment. Entitled: "Penguins taunt Flyer Fans." I will say, Malkin's English is improving... As we know Coburn's out, Thoreson's in, and line changes abound. Check out Brian Metzer's Pens blog today. It's a good one. Da Thu, 15 May 2008 12:54:05 -0400Flyers http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=15308 Meltzer and Ek had some pretty thorough analysis of last night’s tilt. Some bullet’s from where I was: Obviously the two best puck moving D are out, so guys like Richards find themselves coming all the way back to start a rush, wingers mostly stationary, and the centers reaching full speed at their own blue lines, falling into the trap. Officiating. Not why the Flyers lost. Wed, 14 May 2008 14:16:19 -0400Flyers http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=15293 Thanks for all the welcoming words, people. What a great time to be a Flyer fan, no doubt. If you are like me on game days, you wonder why the clock moves so slowly. Every task you attempt to accomplish that day is only to kill time before the puck drops. Here a couple of tidbits for those of you heading to the Wach tonight: Tonight I am told there will be a moment of silence in honor of sl Tue, 13 May 2008 15:27:33 -0400Flyers http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=15268 Hey all. I'll be adding some additional Flyers comments/notes as we roll along here. BTW, how good have Bill Meltzer's Flyers blogs been this year? The guy is amazing and I enjoy sitting and talking hockey with him. Thanks to Ek for allowing me to post. First off, a rant. Throughout the year I've read comments in the Morning Bytes column by Frank Fitzpatrick of the Philadelphia Inquirer. In Mon, 12 May 2008 15:33:21 -0400penguins flyers
