FINALLY! The Roux has come back to Philly! FLA@PHI GNT

[Vadered]

Flyers are back in Philly after a six game road trip to start a five game home stand against the Panthers. Hopefully they can avoid an emotional let down after tying up the pre-postseason series in that zany Pittsburgh game last night. The Panthers are desperate, as they're 0-2-3 in the last five games they've played (the last win they had was a 3-2 shootout win over the Flyers).

Flyers injuries: Hartnell*, Mez, Read (questionable with upper body injury). If Read is out McGinn is probably in.
Panthers injuries: Versteeg

*I've seen a few articles saying Harts is itching to get back in it, so while it is very unlikely he plays tonight, it is possible.

The Flyers likely start Bryzgalov, the Panthers Theodore.

We are ostensibly tied for the eighth spot, but the Rangers and Lightning both have 3 games in hand on us, so let's put the pressure on them a bit by winning tonight. (Also let's not board the other team as much as we did the Pens).

LET'S GO FLYERS!!!!

I see no reason why they can't nab at least 8 points over the next 5 games.

This is our best chance to get back into it.

 

[Vadered]

Definitely. That's just what they needed. Coach called his team out and they responded. Two good games in a row. Hartnell is about to come back. I think they're [The Flyers] through the worst of it.

Well, that's that. We had a good run, boys. Time to pack it in.

Betting the over on this one. They've scored 13 in 2 games, an average of 6.5 goals per.

I'm calling a 4-2 game tonight. Of course the Flyers.

Christ, Gervais is -8 in 16 games this year. Mez, you cannot come back quickly enough.

Oh lord, Florida has FOUR players worse than that.

He may be -8, but he has not been that bad.

But yes, get Andrej the Giant back. I am going through withdrawal.

So, I just read that Matt Read is out 6 weeks with abdominal muscle tearing?

 

[pixburgher66]

Or, as the Flyers release said "torn rib cage muscles". Good...wording? I imagine that means intercostals (small muscles between each rib that aid breathing). Hurt like a mofo, makes breathing difficult, not much to do but rest 'em.

You read correctly

 

[flyersfan4706]

On the bright side, should we make the playoffs the Hockey Gods will realize that we are way overdue for having a healthy stretch of games.

MELROSE!!!!

 

[flyersfan4706]

Heres to McGinn tearing it up tonight.

Another positive: We are a forward injurt away from Noebels making his NHL debut. (Unless Wellwood is still in the loop...?)

He'll definitely have the most gas. Phantoms haven't played since Sunday.
