Don't know why, but I got a Butsy feeling on this one. Flyers really need the Giroux Tang Clan to get going tonight.

Morning Bill.....great blog as always. Just a quick question though. When did we acquire Boucher and where did Bryz go????

Just chillin with my puppy drinking some coffee out of my Flyers mug, listening to some rock and roll and reading a Bill blog.

Great start to a Saturday

holla if ya hear me.

Don't know.... Bryz has been very Boosh-like all-season on the ice at least

I hope TooToo in the lineup doesn't make Lava think he needs Rinaldo or heaven bid Shelley, Rinaldo would not fair well against Toots.

You hit the nail on the head with this blog Bill.

The Preds are a beatable team but they are a very well coached team that will keep playing all night.

I'm sure many Flyers fans are sick of all the chatting on here about Weber/Suter. Fans who aren't very familiar with them will get see why there is such an out-pouring of love on here for them, those 2 are dandy Dman.

Bob or Bryz will need to play excellent tonight.

Now all we need is some G-gunk Chant.

I hope number 6 plays like Jeff Chychrun and number 20 plays like Greg Hawgood.

That would be thrilling for the G unit

The quiet before the storm

Outstanding.

bryz takes about 51 strides to congratulate bob and get off the ice after gms...so do the math

So Bob or Crow?

You'd think Bob would be a no-brainer with his play but Lava doesn't march to starting goalie drum.

I think Crow for some reason

I'm not sure Reese knows yet.

Maybe this is a glass broken on the floor and liquid seeping into the carpet kind of question: Are Giroux and Jagr really healthy?

Since his comeback game, Giroux just hasn't seemed as sharp and has not had the drive that he had pre concussion. Like Crosby, makes me wonder if he really was ready to come back.

Jagr has looked slow, not methodical, slow. If his groin/back/hip are not 100% he can still be dangerous, but his physical play suffers. He cannot control the puck and shield it as well and he doesn't have the first step to catch up.

Getting Gussy back should help. Now if Bryz would just remember how to put together consistent 60 minute efforts over multiple games....

Bryz needs to play I know you go with the hot hand but they paid all that money and pretty much blew up the team cause they got him. They need to show some confidence in him

Ya know, i want to get Bryz going, but Bob has been fantastic. Let him play until he gives up a tying goal short side to a Mike Rupp type of player.. hahah

Seriously, he's been great.reward him.

Brilliant...you traded two good young players and instead of just needing another top 4 defenseman, you also need a winger.
