During the 2009-2010 season, goaltending coach Jeff Reese got a ton of credit for the team’s success. We started the year with Ray Emery, and finished it with a rotation of Brian Boucher, Michael Leighton and Johan Backlund. All season long, somebody would get hurt, and another guy would step in. Then he would get hurt, and replaced by the next guy. Throughout this rotation, the Flyers put together a run that saw them go from 14th in the Eastern conference in January, to 2 games short of the Stanley Cup. When the Flyers acquired Leighton out of nowhere, and he just started winning games, Reese got the credit for making various adjustments.

Due to this, many believed that our beloved Flyers were the team to beat in the 2010-11 season. Unfortunately, we fell short of that lofty goal, causing our GM to start making changes. So here we are, 13 months away from our Finals appearance. And here is what’s left of that roster: … [visit site to read more]

Free Agency Approaching

Oh man, two more days and the market bell will ring. The landscape has changed ever since the NHL instituted the salary cap. You could never accuse the Flyers of being cheap; they always threw dollars at top free agents. Unfortunately, those days are gone forever. So while Ilya Kovalchuk is the top name, there’s no chance he’ll be wearing orange and black any time soon. Of course, offense isn’t the biggest issue for the Flyers. Instead, for the 100th time in the last 20 years, we’re looking for a goalie.

Be vewy, vewy quiet. We're hunting goalies!
