Other than Pronger, Meszaros, Grossmann, Kubina, MAB, and Timonen the defense core is healthy as a horse.
- PLindbergh31


Heres my six:

Timonen-Lilja
Carle-Coburn
Gus-Manning/Kubina

You can switch them anyway you like. This is not pretty.

12 minors in a game is unacceptable. That's the first thing that needs to change tomorrow.
- funmaster18

Refs were horrid, trying to set the tone/send a message whatever.

Its f'ing BS, call the real penalties, let the little ticky tack stuff go.

Playing 5-4 for a majority of the game is ridiculous.

It was bad for both teams, not using this as an excuse, but the refs were awful

Sixers ownership is desperate for ideas

@howardeskin: This is a joke"@SixersCEOAdam: YOUR OUR TWITTER GM: Name 1 or more current Sixers u believe MUST be on roster next year, 1 or 2 you'd tradeā€

Svoboda was there last night. Maybe he'd suit up for a couple games.

If they finish in 5 they'll have a week off to recover.

you know Matt Carle will be playing 25+ minutes, many of them good solid minutes

its just when he makes a mistake it usually is a HUGE event, either a goal or a really good scoring chance

him colliding with Lilja on the Neal goal the other game was a Matt Carle classic moment

Exactly, the complaints against the refs last night are not pro penguins or pro flyers, it's pro hockey. Hard to enjoy a game with so many penalties and whistles. Get a bucket of water on those refs.

I didn't see his look -- I would just hope that he can bounce back -- he doesn't have to be awesome, just has to be good. Did you have any questions for me?
- flyersfan51


Yes. Do you think my January prediction of us seeing Leighton play goal these playoffs will come true?
- rockychocbill


But he's in the net right now, and apparently the black aces skate on their own.

I was thinking of putting Bundy on the third pairing. It would take at least 10 seconds for Malkin and Crosby to get around him.

Just enough time for Bryz to move laterally.

Bet you he could still move the puck, cover his main and lay the lumber behind the play. Very underrated in his career. Unfortunately, he was too injury prone. Seems like Flyers would lose him every year during playoffs... guess he'd fit right in again.

They are timing Bryz' post to post movement with a sundial.

Saw him and his wife in the concourse after the game. Tried to call out to say hi but my voice has been shot for weeks. He went into the men's room and I thought it was too stalkerish to wait for him. But I turned and there was a Czech fan (wrapped in the flag) and I said, "Do you know who that is? That's Petr Svoboda." And he would not believe me. Pathetic! Man's a national hero and he's unrecognized!

How old was the fan?

Edit: Hasek, Jagr have much higher "hero" status than Petr, he was very understated and underrated.
