Why would you be surprised that we didn't call up a useless player?

Devils 6
Flyers 1

also, everybody reading in to the carter thing too much. he's one of the few guys in the lineup that could fight tonight and just saying he'll stick up for teammates. That's all.

Flyers have had trouble with the devils under DeBoer. Only way I see that changing tonight is if the flyers are playing great to redeem themselves for last night or Marty poops the bed.

Carter's tough player, he might not win against those guys but he'll get a couple shots too.
- rmdevil313

No for sure but you seen what happened to Crombeen against Rinaldo and I would think Crombeen is a little tougher and fights a lot more. But I dont think Carter is just going to get one punched. Everyone has a fighting chance to some extent

No for sure. I just don't want him to get hurt. Hopefully their big guys follow the code tonight. I have no problem with him fighting anyone especially if he is the only one who might be able to stick up for skilled guys but I would rather it not get there tonight I like brawls alot more when we have 2-3 goons in the line up

I've never really seen Crombeen as a great fighter, tough player though and always willing to drop the mitts.

Nights like tonight are a reason why I still prefer Sal over ATrain. Sal can fight if needed and does stick up for his teammates.

Rinaldo just throws bombs, and sometimes he connects ... but he's lost as many as he's won.

That's exactly how I see Carter other then he fights even less Is Emery playing tonight ? Like backing up ? Wouldn't want him to thump Old Man Marty.

Amazing that we even have to ask if Emery is playing in case he wants to fight Marty. Only in Philly. Once scum, always scum

So true. When Sal use to fight on the regular he would beat down people. I miss it.

Been searching through Hockeyfights.com and Janssen has lost it. Even in pre season play he just didn't do well and he doesn't seem to be doing to much better in the AHL either.

Didn't we go over this in the preseason? He was never really big and this job takes its toll. It's understandable.

Yea but there are guys who have been doing what he has for longer. Some bigger some the same size. PL3 we should of kept that guy could (frank)ing dance he had a rhythm to him when he fought. I like that Rechlicz guy Washington has ( as a fighter anyways )

Merged the Isles and Rangers on the isles blog. Let me try with the devils
KO JT Vanek
Bailey Nielson Henrique
Jagr Zajac Grabner
Martin Cizikas Clutterbuck

Defense
Hamonic Larrson
Gelinas Visnovsky
Zidlicky Salvador
Goaltending Schnieder and Marty back up.

The fact that Elias isn't on this list is embarrassing.

Elias-Tavares-Vanek
Bailey-Nielsen-Jagr
Grabner-Henrique-Ryder/Okposo
Martin-Zajac-Clutterbuck

Visnovsky-Larsson
Hamonic-Zidlicky
Greene-MacDonald

Schnieder
Brodeur

I will be honest, I might have omitted a Islanders player somewhere, so if I did and he deserves to be in there over a Devil, I'd admit it.

Guys. The real issue here is EA refuses to put Merril in the game because he likes to toke up.

That's exactly how I see Carter other then he fights even less Is Emery playing tonight ? Like backing up ? Wouldn't want him to thump Old Man Marty.

yeah, Emery is in goal for the Flyers

Elias out, we haven't played in 4 days and we're still getting hurt

good, but not great ... Mason has been absolutely terrific, but has also had a heavy workload.

this was probably going to be Emery's game to play anyway, no matter what happened last night.
