Should be a good game, very similar teams IMO.

Good game or close game, Doob?

From Bill Meltzer:

"The Flyers, who held an optional practice at the Skate Zone yesterday, are likely to use the same starting lineup in this game as they featured in Los Angeles and Columbus. Vincent Lecavalier will be a healthy scratch for a fifth straight game by head coach Craig Berube. Defensemen Luke Schenn (third straight game) and Carlo Colaiacovo are also likely to be scratched."

Why change a winning formula?

Play CC and L. Schenn and sit Coburn and A Mac. Can this really be a bad move? As for Vinny, play him and sit one of the Forwards not named Jake, G, Laughton, Simmonds, B. Schenn or Rafll.

Jagr vs Voracek should be an interesting matchup. I'll be sure to Czech it out.

morning twitter has a few changes in it:

1. Emery to start
2. CC or Schenn are in for MDZ (twitter cant seem to tell)

@FlyersGoalScoredBy sums it best though
"Looks like a bad Flyers defenseman will replace a bad Flyers defenseman. Paired with a bad Flyers defenseman"

I don't like Razor starting - they need to ride Mase and say the hell with Razor - it's not like the Flyers are playing a lot of back to backs right now - yeah they have a tough road trip coming up but they have to ride Mase - starting tonight they only play 4 games in 9 days - no reason to play the backup now

Wny is Vinny a healthy scratch ?

They don't think he's putting in the effort. I'm guessing he's out of shape.

He's not out of shape, he just isn't any good anymore

 

[Bolt Fore]

Vinnies last year in Tampa was bad/ sad. But he would still be here if it wasn't for his ridiculous contract ( Seven Million for Twenty years ). I don't think Brian Lawton is in hockey anymore.

 

[Retroram52]

Vinny is done.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Two points and two points only tonight, Flyers! Get it done!

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Too many men on the ice for the Devils.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Good pressure by the Flyers on this power play.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

Too many men on the ice for the Devils.

they tend to do that a lot. Sloppy change
