JvR?

Which bring me to my first question, What's JvR's status? I haven't gotten around to reading Homer's comments about the concussions of Pronger and JvR himself. I have no idea how bad JvR's concussion is.

I beleive JVR is skating. Pronger is in bad shape.

dang i wish i could see this stuff

And they're off -

@LHillaryCSN: Bryz "leave me alone guys" face the music, especially when its positive ! #welcometophilly

Skating is obviously a good sign for JvR. Tough break for Pronger. Well, it's looking like we can hold it together without JvR until after the All-Star break. I assume that's the best way to go.

yes, 7 days for IR.

Makes Jagr the perfect candidate then.

I don't know, I guess.

let's see if bryz can build on today against the B's tomorrow...off to a good start. the team started playing better in the 2nd when couts, simmonds and read justed wanted it more than than NJ.

That line looks real good.

Dave Isaac said today that JVR hasn't even begun skating yet.

Should we go with Bryz though? Do we want another Ottawa situation?

I would go with Bryz. The team especially the forwards have to move their feet like they did after the time out. Bryz has played solidly two games in a row, time to let him keep building the momentum.

Agreed.

Is Lava showing more confidence in Bourdon? It would be great to have a top 6 defenseman home grown last on the roster for a few years. He seems to play a pretty simple and calm game for the most part. There are growing pains but they are coming less often.
- ravishingone

I agree. I'm very pleased Bourdon has continued to play steady and is still with the team.

I'm also thinking it's a good thing that I'm not noticing Gustafsson at all.

bryz has been a 60-65 gm/yr goalie who thrives on work...so much so he often took it easy in practices. it's time he gets to that level here.

yahoo has jvr listed as IR

weird

Seems like when we're about to take on the Rangers or Bruins, one of our important scorers gets hurt.

First outing again the Rangers, Jagr was hurt 2-0
Second outing against the Rangers, Giroux was hurt 4-2
Second outing again the Bruins since the beginning of the season, Giroux is out (6-0)
Winter Classic, Jagr is forced to sit and watch from the bench (3-2)

I think tomorrow speaks for itself.

@sbaickerCSN: Briere out indefinitely with a concussion. Does not look good at all.

Just back from the game. Ton of Flyers fans in the building.

Simmonds was a complete force out there. His best game as a Flyer imo. Hartnell and Giroux with strong games as well. And Bryzgalov played very well again. Perhaps he is turning a corner.

Jagr leaving games early is starting to get old. He's obviously not fully recovered and he's leaving his team short handed constantly. I believe this is the fourth game he has left in the first period so far this year.

I bet a Devils fan twice and won two beers. Easy bets ever. One was Poni scoring a goal, and the other was the Flyers allowing a goal within a minute after taking a 2 goal lead. Like taking candy from a baby.

And finally LOL @ Shelley. Clarkson pastes him to the boards with a big hit, and Mr. Tough Guy challenges fellow tomato can Eric Boulton to a fight, and Boulton proceeds to hand Shelley his ass. Total skull (frank)ing.

PS Lavy, stop putting the 4th line on the ice after taking a two goal lead. It doesn't work.

I agree. I'm very pleased Bourdon has continued to play steady and is still with the team.

I'm also thinking it's a good thing that I'm not noticing Gustafsson at all.

i noticed gus

i noticed him being pretty good

now Briere? fabulous

Simmonds was a beast today.
What a game for him.

I hope he has some gas left for tomorrow.

- rockychocbill

It seems Meszy plays a little more of an aggressive play when paired with Gustafsson. Not necessarily a knock on Lilja, Meszy seems to jump into the play more. I think Meszy has more confidence he can cover for him with his speed.

That line looks real good.
- MJL

our best line right now

Reese already came out and said he's getting 58 games tops

I won't believe you.

I'm in denial.
