Bill, you’re the reason I subscribe to this site. Good writing is worth paying for. I look forward to continuing to read your work elsewhere. Thanks.

Bill, thank you for all the years of your hard work and great coverage of the Flyers. You're the only reason I come here as part of my morning reading every day. And, yes, Jay Greenberg was one of a kind. His blend of history, humor, and snark were the best. May he rest in peace.

Question: when is your last blog here and will you be posting in that blog where we can follow you in your next endeavor?

Additionally, MJL could take this over and maybe do it with JD250 in a "dueling blog" style. Pure entertainment!

One, neither of us is qualified and most importantly. There is no duel. There is just my stubbornness towards my hope of trying to teach someone the sport of hockey that is incapable of learning.

18-years is a hell of a run Bill. You should be proud of what you've accomplished here.

Hope wherever you end up next your words will reach even more readers. You deserve all the success in the world sir.

- bmeltzer

It is unfortunate to see you moving on, but totally understandable why you are. I have read most of your blogs for the past 18 years I’ve been here.
I also appreciate everything you have done to try to keep HB alive, it has a unique format that I enjoy over all other hockey comment sites, but it has been evident for sometime now that things have changed, with you moving on it will only deteriorate more.
Good luck to all your future endeavours.

Your articles are the main reason i still visit this site and probably drive the most traffic here.

End of an era. Thanks for the time you put into your articles.

So sad to hear the news Bill but totally understand. I certainly hope I will still see/hear you on Monday's with Meltzer on Flyers daily, plus the Flyers prospect report, and maybe even a cameo of that "silly" snow the goalie podcast. Wherever you end up, you will be required reading/listening for me. Best wishes and continued success!

Thank you for all your hard work Bill. I really loved your older format where you opined more on the team instead of the in depth game recaps. That should be taken as a compliment always appreciated your keen eye. Good luck on your future endeavors

You couldn't teach someone to play with his dingy never mind understand an actual sport that doesn't involve footy pajamas and is played any place other than your kitchen floor.

I have been saying this for a long time, MJL and I should do our own Flyers pre-game and post game pods, it would be pure entertainment. He could talk about stats since here didn't actually watch the game, and I will tell the listeners what actually happened. We can even get Torts as a guest and MJL can teach Torts about where the F2/F3 should be, while we all sit back and watch Torts punch him in the face. Who would not want to see that over and over again.

Sad to see you go Bill. Your blog has been a part of my daily life since you started writing here. It has been the only reason I have kept coming to this site for the last 18 years plus.

Should that apply to you also? Just wondering if you have been named arbitrator and the person who decides what posts are OK and what posts are not OK.

Bill,
Thank you for pouring your heart and soul into this site and your blog. It has been a pleasure to read your articles and connect with you as a fan.

I have read many of the other blogs on HB and we have been spoiled. It will be difficult to replace your insight and writing ability.

Best of luck.

Let's go boys!
