Welcome back JVR by running him into the boards! TOR@PHI GNT

[Vadered]

The Flyers host the Leafs tonight in the second game of the three game series (The Leafs took the first one in Toronto). It's the return of James van Riemsdyk to Philly after he was traded away for Luke Schenn. The Flyers are where they've been for a few weeks now - hovering just out of the playoffs. The Leafs are in 7th, but have lost 3 of their last 4 on the road.

Flyers injuries: Meszaros, Read, Shelley. Bryz is in net tonight; despite the Flyers record he's tied for 3rd in the league in wins (probably because he is leading the league in starts...)
Leafs injuries: Frattin, Lupul. I believe Riemer is available, but it looks like Scrivens is probably in net tonight for his seventh straight start.

Gonna be an interesting one tonight. Hartnell will take the ice again in the second game since coming back from a leg injury; hopefully he'll be more Hartnell-y out there (the goal scoring kind, not the goalie-running kind). I'm also hoping Talbot can put one on the board - he's goalless so far this season. Phaneuf is having a bad year - he's 2-5-7 on the PP, but 1-1-2 and -6 at even strength. Might want to take advantage of him and Kostka (who is -7).

Let's make this a good home stand, boys, and LET'S GO FLYERS!

perhaps L.Schenn could lay a beating on him,so that there will be some sort of closure to the trade talk.

Brayden Schenn and Voracek. Here's to them deficating all over Scrivens.

Wow the Flyers have played a lot of games. They need this one in a bad way.

 

[flyersfan4706]

I'm 3-1-1 at games this year. Let's keep it up.

Yeah, we gotta keep the pressure on the New Yorks and Winnipeg and Carolina/Tampa to WIN those games in hand they have. Not must win - we can drop this and still end the home stand at .500 for the season, but a win streak here would do a LOT to help us out.

 

[4thstreet]

I'm in southwestern ontario-so I need the Flyers to win,so that I don't have to hear any gloating from goddamn Leaf fans.

 

[Vadered]

Let's win this game, boys! .500, here we come!

 

[awaz]

lets do a good job tonight flyers.

 

[Vadered]

Flyersfan, I expect NOTHING BUT GOOD LUCK FROM YOU TONIGHT.

 

[Vadered]

Flyers are buzzing, and Scrivens looks iffy.

 

[Vadered]

Shoulda been a call earlier for interfering with Couturier, but at least Voracek draws.

 

[Vadered]

Dumb penalty, Simmonds.

Let's kill this one off, boys!

 

[Vadered]

And my feed froze.

 

[flyersfan4706]

[Vadered]

[flyersfan4706]

[Vadered]

Brown with the slow start but beats McGinn.

 

[Vadered]

Sweet, talk with 99 instead of following the play, I LOVE it when teams do that.
