Today’s open discussion thread, complete with your daily dose of Philadelphia Flyers news and notes…
- Boston won. [SBNation.com] Vancouver burned: [Puck Daddy] [SBNation.com]
- So Ilya Bryzgalov flew in yesterday for the negotiations, which are set to begin today: [Philly Sports Daily] [CSNPhilly] [Daily News]
- Word on the street is that Bryzgalov wants a 5 or 6 year deal, but that the Flyers want a 7 or 8 year deal. You know, to drive the cap hit down. Because long-term deals fix everything: [BSH] [euroflyers]
- An argument to trade Jeff Carter. “Does losing Carter make the Flyers a better team? It’s arguable, but netting the right return definitely makes them a better organization.” Uh, “arguable”? If by “arguable” you mean “No, not in any way”, then sure. [The Fourth Period]
- There will be a live Flyers chat at noon: [Philly Sports Daily]
- A story about hanging out with Corey Perry and Danny Syvret. Happy Prom, kid! [Feels Like ’93]
- Due to a scheduling glitch, the recap for last night’s Game 7 was posted 12 hours early: [Down Goes Brown]
- Remember Janne Niinimaa? Yeah, he had a cool name: [Flyers Faithful]
- Looking for a job? So are some Flyers: [Down Goes Spezza]
- Kudos to Fehr and Balanced for looking at every single Capitals goal against and seeing how many were soft. If a Caps fan can do it, why can’t us? [Japers’ Rink]
