Bill Meltzer: It's All Relative: Flyers Edition

as Whitey Ashburn used to say...."oh brother"

I don't know how you do it. There really isn't anything about this team you don't know. That's an impressive list. Hockey seems to be the one sport that is instilled from one generation to the next more than any other.

Philly is the city of brotherly love

Thanks Bill. That's a lot of information, and players to keep track of. I bet that there are a lot of sticky notes on your desk. Once you retire, how do you plan to pass all that information down? Does your son have the same passion for the Flyers that you do?

Benji is getting there

Dont say it much, but thanks for the work throughout the year Bill. In particular your pieces on prospects are always a good read.

Keep on keepin' on.

Does your son play ice hockey?

Me too. Counting down the days till the Flyers return. 36 days till the first preseason game. 53 for the regular season opener.

NFL coverage is beating me into the ground already.

Pretty much have to, if you want anything Flyers related. Give props to Bill for not only the quantity of the output, but the quality given the utter lack of news.

Of all the young prospects expected to return to their junior teams, who could you see making the leap and not be sent back if this were possible?

A) Travis Sanheim

B) Ivan Provorov

C) Travis Konecny

Provorov, but he can still get even better & he'll be back with the Wheat Kings.

The Jaaemieies Winston coverage yesterday was just....it was insane.

The dude played 15 minutes of preseason football and thet showed his ENTIRE interview- 20 mins- and took 15 to analyze his play.

Wow.

Provorov, but he can still get even better & he'll be back with the Wheat Kings.

If Provorov is this good or expected to be this good, Sanheim and Provorov coming in together is very interesting. Should be a Black Hawks like game changer

Provorov fills a bigger need and is more NHL ready than the other two. Still feel he goes back to Brandon.
