Why Bobrovsky Starts

Sergei Bobrovsky will be in net tonight for the Flyers.

I think Peter Laviolette made the right choice and the only choice.

To me, he is saying, 'win or lose tonight, we move forward.'

Also, there is no pressure here on BOB. Boucher has not shown he's capable of stealing a game. Maybe Bob can.

I asked Lavy why BOB? He replied, "Brian had come in and played really well, he came in and pinch hit for Bob early on and played really well for us. But we find ourselves down three here and Bob has come off the bench a couple times and looked good. We are getting him back in there tonight."

Lavy said nothing about Chris Pronger, but I don't expect him to play. If Pronger were available, I think the Flyers would have come out and said so.
