Bill,

I can't adequately express in words how much your work will be missed. Every morning for the last 10 years before my teaching day would begin, I would look forward to reading your blog about the Flyers. Your honest assessments and thoughtful insights were always appreciated. Thank you for everything and I wish you all the best with whatever avenues you choose to pursue beyond this site. Cheers!

I have been on here for 15 plus years. Believe this is the third time I have posted anything. Every morning one of my rituals has been to read what Bill had to say. I'll still do it but obviously elsewhere. There have been a few others that I found adding to my knowledge such as Karine. Bill was always at the top.

I wish Bill only the best.

Thank you Bill! Another long-term reader here who never posts replies. Your hard work and dedication is GREATLY appreciated. I am also happy to hear you’re moving on and I look forward to reading/listening to your analysis and insight in whatever venue is next.

Bill, I just now read your personal note with the sad bombshell announcement of your departing HockeyBuzz.. I've been reading your blogs from the very beginning and have learned so very much from you... as well as enjoyed the ride along the way... I have been so happy to say that my thinking on a vast majority of the time has been in line with yours (albeit at a much lesser level, of course)... We met but once personally at BuzzGate'08, but have corresponded many times over HB as well as Twitter/X... I have enjoyed every minute, and learned so much from you... I have been in awe and amazed by your dedication to us, while still greatly dedicated to your wonderful Family... how do you do it with the travel? You will be sorely missed... and will be irreplaceable in my Flyers/Hockey life on HB... and I'd bet the farm that thst is the case with countless others on here. Of course, I will continue to follow you on your other sites Flyers.com/X/MwithM... but miss your daily HB Blogs... An end of an Era. 😪

EDIT PS: with all that said... Bill, I failed to say what I wanted to say when I came on here to respond... Best of luck going forward in your other outlets, as well as in all things going forward.

Seems odd that both joined Ek in a management role. And after one month both threw in the towel??

Wow I did not expect this today, very heartbreaking news. The only reason I even have HockeyBuzz bookmarked is 100% to read Bill's blogs.


Bill, Best of luck and look forward to following your writings where ever you land in the future.

I can't believe I have been using this website for 18, 19, almost 20 years now. So best of luck to everyone else, even to the official troublemaker, and may real life be filled with happiness and joy.

HockeyBuzz is officially dead.

Well if the amount of people I see asking for a blogger for their team is any indication...then probably not.

Good luck and hopefully you get it.

Only thing would be the high expectations would have after Bill. Even if it's just a "lineup" blog, these animals in here will eat up every typo and mistake and won't let you forget it.

The plus side you might be able to tell people to shove it up their BuzzHole.

Bill, I will miss your writings and concise analogy on hockey matters. You deserve the best as you have outgrown this blog long ago. You won't need much luck with all your skills!

Wow, this was quite a surprise today! Bill, most of it has already been said but I can't thank you enough for your hard work and dedication. I'll miss your insight regarding the Flyers as well as the off-times like summer when you do things like TDIFH. I found out about your blog a little over 13 years ago (Jagr trade day!) and while I'm not a regular poster, I read your blog every day. You will most certainly be missed.
Thank you again for everything and best of luck in your future!

Best wishes for your future endeavors Bill. I'll miss your writing here, though as others have said, your thoughtful opinions on where the Flyers were or were going had largely disappeared in the last while.

You have your reasons, but it seems what isn't said speaks loudly in both yours and Mikes' statements. The wizard isn't as powerful once you see behind the wall.
