Bill Meltzer: Meltzer's Musings: Foster to KHL, Tuesday Quick Hits
- bmeltzer

Morning, Bill.

Good post, Bill....

Do NHL teams routinely scout the KHL for talent?

In the 2004 playoff run, despite numerous injuries that destroyed the Flyers' blueline as well as their chances at a title, Markov was an absolute rock and warrier back there! I thought for sure Clarkie would extend him. I'm sure the lockout complicated that a bit. It was a short but memorable stay for Markov in Philly.

I really liked the way Huskins played for us. If we do move a veteran defenseman for salary cap space I wouldn't mind spending the money we have left after signing Gagne on Huskins.

markov is still one of my favorites, even though he was here for 5 minutes. his series winning goal against NJ in 2004 and his kissing primeau after he tied the game against tampa are two of my all-time favorite moments. wished he returned to the flyers after the lockout.

and speaking of former "russian" flyers who had a cup of coffe here, alexei zhitnik was a member of the ukrainian team in the open category at the maccabiah games.

He played with a ton of passion in his short time here.

And we'll always have this goal....beating Marty B in the playoffs (finally):

I remember watching that game in McFadden's at Citizen's Bank Ballpark either during or after a Phillies game that day. The place exploded when Markov scored that goal.

I'll never forget Markov's long range goal on Brodeur that won the 2004 series against NJ. It was really satisfying.

i was at that game (and the entire season for that matter). i literally lost the feeling in my arms after that goal.

Is Medvescak Zagreb the Croatian name for MedEvac? That is a good name for former Flyers...

Malakhov to Zhamnov to Markov. All Russian goal. Wonder how many times that's happened in Flyers history.

Hey Hammar welcome back.

I wanted to ask you, are non Jews allowed to play in the Maccabian games?
What are the qualifications for it?

1 or more

What ever happened to Nik Grossman. Always liked the way that guy plays, how come everyone poops on him these days?

Who is pooping on him? No one poops on him here. Not one poop.

we should have kept Nik Zherdev and built round him



(he wouldn't even be considered Russian now, I think he is Ukrainian)

ever since they added the second N to his name he hasn't been the same

I believe it is open to all Israeli athletes regardless of religion and to Jewish athletes from the rest of the world.

Almost like that extra "N" is weighing him down.....

Nope, we still like him. Dude's a horse.

The only thing to worry about with him is recovery from his concussion suffered last season.

He also may or may not get traded in a salary cap shedding deal, but I don't think Homer is in a rush to trade Grossmann.

He is basically a power play specialist at this point of his career...

Sounds like another old-timer they just signed.

I was there. Place went absolutely nuts. I think maybe Zhamnov scored the EN. I got tix through Rowan for $30. Totally worth missing 2 classes that day.

I heard rumors that the Russian team may have had some ringers in there.
Maybe they made them honorary Jews for the tournament.

Is Vinnie good on the PP?
