Bill Meltzer: Meltzer's Musings: Phantoms, Giroux, Read, Grossmann and more

I'm assuming the Giroux update is that he's (reportedly) down to Klando or Omsk? I'd be pretty surprised if he went to the KHL myself.

Sheesh! No auto-recovery!?

Great blog Bill, I was thrilled when my friend sent me the links to the articles you were referring to. If G does infact play for Kladno, My Friend and I are actually thinking about traveling there sometime this season to watch a game or 2.

Kladno is already cleaning house, its scary to think how good they would be if G went. I also think he would have a blast playing over there.

Sucks that Hovinen got off to a bad start but as you said Bill I think the change of atmosphere had a lot to do with that. I'm looking forward to seeing him develop.

I don't know why, but it really tickles me that Simmonds is an Ice Pirate.

Hey Bill,

Haven't been around too often lately, so I apologize if you've covered this. In light of the lockout and the all time roster you did recently, any chance for a weekly "most memorable flyers game of the week" campaign? Either memorable games you've witnessed that were imapactful personally, professionally or games that were just highly important to flyers history and lore?

Just tossing ideas out there and thanks again for keeping us in the loop with what the players are doing throughout the lockout.

2REAL go crazy with no hockey. At least the Eagles are winning... despite it being very ugly. I nearly had a heart attack or broke something at the end of the game on sunday.

I plan on doing something along those lines once the Phantoms' preseason camp concludes.

Only the eagles can be 3-1, leading the division, but scare the hell out of you at the same time.
