*YAAAAAAAAAAAS welcome to the first game day Fly By of the 2016-2017 hockey season! At some point, Flyers hockey will be played in our time zone. That day is not today. Our boys are in Chicago and the puck drops at 830LEGGOFLOOORS

*Looks like we'll see Michal Neuvirth again this evening. GOALIE CONTROVERSY OOOOOOOOH. [Inquirer]

*Pierre-Edouard Bellemare is hoping to add a little offense this season. That'll be good, PEBs. [BSH]

*The Flyers off to a 1-0-1 start? NOT TOO SHABBY! [Inqurier]

*So far so good for new guy Boyd Gordon. [CSN Philly]

*The Phantoms are looking good so far too. Let's meet this year's team, shall we? First up the goalies, and the we move on up to the defense, and finally the forwards. Going to have a fun year in Allentown it looks like.

*Speaking of the Phantoms, local boy T.J. Brennan was a big part of their season opening win. [Sons of Penn]

*Pascal Laberge is going to miss some time after the poor kid took an absolutely vicious hit over the weekend. Good lord. [BSH]
