Flyers Notes For left winger Simon Gagne, today will be a milestone of sorts. After appearing in just 25 games last season because of a concussion, Gagne will play in his first preseason game - on the first line, with center Mike Richards and right winger Danny Briere - when the Flyers face Carolina at the Wachovia Spectrum.

In a move that surprised pretty much nobody, Mike Richards was named Captain of the Flyers , the 17th in club history (they count Bobby Clarke twice the way Americans count Grover Cleveland ). While the move was wholly expected, it remains the best and most logical choice for a team that is poised to stake a claim to elite status in the NHL. Since Keith Primeu’s 5-year run as captain ended in 2006,...

from Wayne Fish of phillyBurbs, This season’s short training camp should at least afford the Flyers a chance to tinker with a new first line: Namely, center Daniel Briere moving to right wing alongside Mike Richards. Coach John Stevens tried this alignment late in the conference finals against Pittsburgh last May and the reviews were generally good. Now, with Simon Gagne returning from concussion leave,...

from Wayne Fish of phillyBurbs, Whether they want to admit it or not, the Flyers are about to make an important decision. Within the next week, they will name a new captain, a designation more significant in hockey than any other sport. The finalists appear to be fourth-year center Mike Richards and All-Star defenseman Kimmo Timonen. Defenseman Jason Smith held the post last year but he left as a free...
