Flyers Daily with Jason Myrtetus: Back for the Holiday week with a Monday with Bill Meltzer visit. We discuss a bunch of timely topics including:
-Denver Barkey call up and debut
-Return of Risto
-Waive and demotion to the Phantoms for zamula
-is Jamie Drysdale the most improved Flyers player year to year?
-considering where the organization is, what it has coming, is the 1C more important if an add than the 1D?-Sabres could be open for business with Jarmo now in charge. Who do you target? Obviously Dahlin. But what about Tage Thompson, Byrum or maybe even Owen Power?

That legendary puck hound shift Barkey had a week or two ago was one of the best shifts of any level of hockey ive seen in atleast a year. Barkey earned his cuppa, and stoked to see up to the task. I do think he's better off in the AHL getting top 6, pp, pk minutes every game. Is there a situation where Barkey plays to a level that makes it the right move to keep him up? Yea. With Tyson done for the year, there's a middle 6 role available. I don't think Grebenkin or Grundstrom have earned their spots yet. I'd rather see both on the 4th line with Abols and actually get some production from the 4th line, while giving Hathaway and Deslauriers situational or earned starts.
FREE TIM SAUNDERS!!!!!! First off the context is everything, but Im assuming he was saying that to fridge after the big goon dropped something. Also insane that he is in trouble while guys like Biz- who i love- talk about the most inappropriate sex and drug stuff on his podcast while rocketing up in (inter)national broadcast prominence. I've heard Biz tell his co hosts to do despicable things to every part of his body. Saunders has been the flyers guy for nearly 30y and has one joke on a hot mike and he is in hot water. If he gets fired, I will never listen to the flyers on the radio again…sorry Jason..with the previous caveat of context, like if he said this to an 18yo female intern who he has no rapport with while the kid's fixing cables under the desk..that would be a baaad look. But I can't imagine this is anything other than Saunders just busting balls of a buddy
Hey Jason, you guys talked about the fact that the acquisition of a 1C or 1D is pretty rare these days. Do you think that this relative dearth of talent is an Indication that there are too many teams in the league? Not enough top talent to go around. It seems to me that in the old days, (I’ve been watching hockey since 1973) practically every team had at least one or two really great players. Now with 32 teams, there just isn’t that much talent out there to make that happen. What are your thoughts?
Briere will be forced to make a major move….and trade these assets he has stockpiled. He has to give up quality and get a top pair D man and at least a young C with promise.
Get the top pair d man…Byram…..trade for Brad Lambert…young C on the Jets
Free agency option is gone must happen thru trade
Saturday's loss vs Rangers is very unacceptable.
Hope Vladar is ready & plays vs Vancouver & Chicago before the Christmas break.
Injuries have been a part of the losses lately. Not having Forester playing, not to mention Vladar as well, means we are bound to lose games.
Frustrating to be stuck in this sinking situation, but we just dont have the high end talent contributing consistently, or at all. No 4th line scoring from Dlo and Hathaway also stinks.
sad thing is sam errson is alot like swiss cheese full of holes also they need to play 60 minutes 3rd period should be your best period
No comments on Errson???
The goalie with a grand total of one regulation win this season.
He aint it.
Also Ritso has the hockey IQ of a frigging rock.
Its coaching for MM. Just like its coaching for players that are doing well. Just like the players with the ducks better players playing better with a different coach and the leafs good players playing worse with a new coach
