Tampa's got a solid team even without Stammer.. I say a 5-2 win today with Lindback in goal for them.

For some reason, Tampa always seems to give us fits. Come out hard and get #11 in a row a home.

I took Mason today, so if he has the worst game of his career we all know it was my fault.

I took Giroux, Mezzy, and Mason. I fully expect Giroux to die 10 seconds into the game, Mezzy to break both of his arms during the pregame skate, and mason to give up 10 goals on the first 10 shots.

If I didn't have bad luck, I'd probably be rich!

Wow, you look at Tampa's lineup without Stamkos and Bishop and you wonder how they stay above .500. That being said, I expect a close game and a tough challenge for the Flyers today. I have a feeling this will be a 3 point game.

My pick: Flyers 3 Bolts 2 in OT with big Vinnie scoring the winner against his old pals!

Go Flyers!

If ANY of your predictions come true you are hereby banned from having any Flyers on your fantasy team. Feel free though, to stock up on Rangers, Pens and Devils!!

The more I see him with a legit number 2 in Lecavalier, the more I think Couturier will surpass expectations as a shut down center and be a dominant one.

Go Flyers and thank god we don't have a song as annoying as fly eagles fly.

Matt Carle: 44 games. 20 points. +10. 22:11 mpg… Just sayin'

LOL, I wish we still had him for depth for our D corps.. he wasn't as bad as some made him out to be lol

Carle's not bad, of course, but he's not the #1 we're looking for either. Hedman, on the hand, looks promising.

Carle actually averages more ice time than Hedman. Not by much, but it gives you an idea of what the coaches think of him.

You the guy who lives in Norway?

As long as the game doesn't look like this--I'll be happy.



Thankfully, Guy "Le Chiffre" Boucher was fired and we don't have to watch that depressing 1-3-1 again.

Tampa has some guys that can play besides Stammer and St Louis
Watch for out for Palat and Johnson, some other guys too.

I know "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", but I'd like to see Lecavalier play a game with Giroux and Voracek on the LEFT side to try to wake him up offensively. He's playing strong defensively with Downie and Couturier, but he's a goal scorer. To me, it's a waste of his talents to see him playing wing with Couturier.
