Adam French: Draft Spotlight : Flyers

There was some good feedback for the last one of these so I’m committed going forward to do the Oilers, Sabres and Canadiens after this one at least. Like I said in the Leaf one, this is my own opinions and they certainly have many flaws, so feel free to spout your minds. The Flyers are in an interesting place. They are loaded with young talented forwards who have graduated...

Bryzgalov praises Stalin in interview

To most people, former Russian dictator Joseph Stalin is remembered as a man responsible for the deaths of tens of millions, a reviled figure who saw no need for human rights. To Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov, however, there's a "logic" to the plans of the man who instigated several "purges." Suffice it to say, Bryzgalov is a weird guy, and...

Ilya Bryzgalov Says Very Ilya Bryzgalov Things

Ilya Bryzgalov is more than just a grossly overpaid goalie. He’s an existential stormtrooper, an avid Angry Birds player, and apparently a big Josef Stalin fan. Whatever your thoughts on his play may be, it is hard to argue that Bryz is an absolute treasure trove of quirk and is fun to listen to. Whether it be his dislike for the weather in Edmonton:   or this unbelievably smooth...

It really isn't that clear who the best selection will be. There are a number of quality players who should be available when the Flyers are on the clock. After reading three mock drafts on NHL.com (they assumed Philadelphia would pick 8th), it seems that Adam Kimmelman, Mike Morreale, and Steven Hoffner all have made their picks based on the team's obvious need: a physical...

This Flyer's got an eye for fashion

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov has already carved out a niche as one of the more quirky athletes in sports.
