I'm getting seriously tired of some Flyers fans posting their indignity about what went on today as if our team is pure as Lilly white driven snow. Get over it.

Exactly. It's a rivalry game. There's going to be chippy and dirty play from both sides. It's happened in the NHL for over 100 years now. Grow up and quit complaining.

No question about it. The trust Couturier has earned from being responsible defensively and always being in the right position is amazing. He's a 19 year old kid, who has the hockey awareness of a 30 year old 10 year veteran. I'm stunned how good of a player he is at this stage of his career.

yup Homer must be happy with grabbing couts at 8. Thank you Cbus!

The kid will have a trophy case full of Selkes before he is done.

Exactly, and it is why we love it!

Agreed. There should be no complaining. No one got hurt (hopefully the early reports about Grossman being okay are true) and it sets the stage of a helluva game to finish the season.

No idea with Lilja. No clue what the injury is. Can't even keep track of them these days.

Holmgren gave up two second round picks to acquire Kubina, and Grossmann. 1. To try and replace the skill set Pronger brings, and 2. To avoid having to play two rookies in the playoffs in MAB, and Gus. Well right now there is a chance Bourdon and Gustafsson will start the playoffs. I think they are more capable than guys like Krajicek, Parent, and Bartulis.

Will see what happens. Hopefully Grossmann wont be out too long and Lilja will be back for the playoffs. I just wish the Flyers would start playing better in the beginning of the game and stop trailing every single game. This team has a lot of fight and is never out of a game but you would like to see them play with the lead for a change.

Stud. The Flyers stole him in the draft. Homer comes through again.

That they do. Very resilient team that never quits. Have to admire that.
I think if the Flyers had the kind of good fortune with injuries that the Rags have enjoyed this season, the Flyers would be challenging for a President's Trophy right now.

FYI: Osi, J Tuck, and Jason Pierre Paul are licking their chops. They each have a King Dunlap poster hanging over their beds.

Nope. He's not saying that. He's saying that both teams have guys that play dirty at times.

Malkin wasn't the only one who played chippy today.

The Eagles will upgrade over Dunlap. If they dont its going to be a long season but Reid will find someone who can fill in and play well.

Laviolette sure does get after it. From the Ott incident, the fist pump in Winnipeg, and today. Have to admire his passion.

Today's game was like a playoff game. If players werent playing chippy or dirty (depending on your view) then something is wrong. I love the intensity and the hatred out on the ice. If your not competitive why play the game.

Pro Bowl Tackles don't grow on trees. Not sure how you think they will replace Peters.
