I agree on the ice quality. I thought everybody touted this ice as some of the best in the league? Somebody is smokin' some serious shit to think that!
We've been doing that a lot to both goalies recently. We let a few really bad odd mans or breakaways or hey-let's-not-defend-that-gut-in-the-creases up a game, and how well we do is pretty much whether or not we score enough goals to compensate or when the goalie occasionally stands on his head.
* Timonen played through the bruised foot that held him out of the final 28 minutes of Tuesday's game. Flyers coaches Craig Berube and John Paddock tried to manage his ice time carefully. Timonen skated just 10:53 at even strength among his blueline-low 15:55 of ice time in the game. Mark Streit picked up extra time, skating 23:51.
