Bill Meltzer: Flyers Gameday: 3/15/12 @ Islanders

Be nice to see Kubina come back tonight. Get healthy for the weekend, at least...

Tonight seems like a trap game. Can't look past it, need the points.

There better not be such a thing as a "trap game" this late in the season.

I agree, but We've seen them look past the Isles before, and with Boston and Pittsburgh this weekend....

This is the classic definition of a trap game. But Bryz will be there to free them from that trap.

Big win tonight and will actually get to watch the game.

Go Team Flyers!!!

Bryz money in the house.

I definitely think it's gonna be a Bryzaster for the fishsticks tonight

Anyone know what the playoff format is for the AHL? Phantoms are in 4th in their division. So I assume they're not going to make the playoffs?

top-8 in each conference make it

(edit: looking at the standings, ADK is one point out of a spot right now)

From this it tells me they are 10th, one point out at the moment.

Same as the NHL then. So Phantoms have a shot. Thanks.

I want to see this team play like they did on Tuesday for the rest of the season, or at least consistently for the majority of the season. If they do, I could easily see them winning the division.

It took Kimmo, Meszaros, and Kubina to be out of the lineup for Lavy to realize he needs to start emphasizing defense to the forwards if they want to actually win anything this year. Hopefully he doesn't forget that once they are all back on the roster. This team can flat out dominate defensively when everyone's on the same page.

The Phantoms are streaking, too; Michael Leighton is hotter than two rats (frank)ing in a wool sock. It would be nice to see them break the top-8, especially considering their abysmal season last year (and abundance of familiar faces that have cracked the Flyers lineup this season).

Lloyd: What do you think the chances are of a guy like you and a girl like me... ending up together?
Mary: Well, Lloyd, that's difficult to say. I mean, we don't really...
Lloyd: Hit me with it! Just give it to me straight! I came a long way just to see you, Mary. The least you can do is level with me. What are my chances?
Mary: Not good.
Lloyd: You mean, not good like one out of a hundred?
Mary: I'd say more like one out of a million.
[pause]
Lloyd: So you're telling me there's a chance... *YEAH!*

Question: Who would you rather have for $51 Million Dollars-- Desean Jackson if you are the Eagles or Bryz if you are the Flyers??

My vote (even before this amazing shutout streak) would be for Universe.

Bryz, he doesn't shy away from the middle of the net.

I'm not a fan of Jackson. He whined and cried about his contract and didn't play as hard as he could have. Bryzgalov struggled, but he also worked hard to correct his issues.

Desean Jackson is a visually-infused, experimental, Los Angeles-based rock band.

come on now, he was owing Drew big money and he was only earning $550,000. That's CHUMP change. As another player put it a long time ago...For who, For what!!!

I don't think it was Lavi just starting to emphasize Defense as much as it was the players realizing that now they MUST play defense.
