Their 4th line RW is Teemu Selanne and ours is Zac Rinaldo.

Different philosophy, different results.

It's a totally different game that it was a decade ago -- much more like the mid-to-late 90s, when you had to be able to put the puck in the net, at some point.

I'm kind of curious how close the Flyers are to the cap ceiling. I know they've used Pronger's LTIR. I bet they have very little wiggle room.
- PhillySportsGuy


They have a little under $2.5M as of today.

So unless I'm mistaken about something, they can add, the day of the TDL (day 142 of 180) $10.9M in salary...not sure about tagging space though.

They have about $2.4m in AAV space.

The Machine gun goal celebration is top 5 in any sport for me.

Did Teemu get a call for that? Anisimov got unsportsmanlike and he didn't even throw his glove, lol.

Naw, it's a flat $2.4M since it's LTIR and they've lost the amount they haven't used so far.

I don't remember, but I'm sure he did.

It was worth the 2 minutes.

Wondering what our old friend Harry Z has been up to?

Scoring goals like this (in the AHL):

That was his rookie year, right? Must have sent some of the old codgers into uncontrollable conniptions.

If the Ducks had a 3rd string goalie, I believe they would play him tonight.

Sbisa 10 games. 1 point. -6 on a very good even strength team…Interesting
- PhillySportsGuy


He's good for 2-3 penalties and coughing up the puck a few times. He'll be victimized by you guys tonight. Have fun with him.

His leg/ankle/foot is still in one piece, so probably.

The scary thing about this road trip is the Flyers can play a really solid 3 games and still come away with zero points.

This trip is going to set the tone for the rest of the season.

I have looked at March. Very difficult. These 3 games are a gauntlet. As tough as I remember. Brutal.

I think they better make a move before the deadline to secure some defense, or these games could be bad....

By this time next week, we'll all either hate this team or be doing that Al Pacino "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in" routine.
