The Flyers need to convince themselves they are not a skilled team and simplify everything. Maybe with Giroux out this will happen.

We're the flyers just too banged up to practice yesterday Bill?

Right now, they need to conserve all energy for the game. What sucks is that if you turn around the outcome of the up-for-grabs Game 3, this is a 2-2 series and tonight's outlook would be a whole lot better even without Giroux. But the more deserving team has won all four games to date.

its do or die time tonight we see what this team is made of whether they are lions or they are mice .... time for them to suck it up lay body and establish some sort of fore check all the things they haven't done the last 3 games... let see if they can do it ... or will they just fold and go away quietly

I expect the old war horses to lead the team tonight. Jagr and Kimmo.

For what its worth, not that my input means anything, but I have a feeling the absence of Giroux will have the same impact that losing Kovalchuk had on the Devils...Bryz, for all of his difficulties earlier has played well and the guys in front of him owe him one here, again, my 2 cents...

Flyers need to take tonight's game as one shift, one period, one game. You can't win 3 games in one night, and if they try to, they will be starting their summer tonight around 10PM.

They need to simplify. Stop trying to force what isn't there. Execution of their own system. Stop the mistakes that lead to wasting energy running around their own end.

Not with that attitude you cant...If you win it in the 6th OT then that counts as 3 games won right?

It sounds stupidly easy, but not playing this way is a huge part of the reason why they're down 3-1. That's exactly how the Devils have played, and they have three dominating performances to show for it.

Like you said, just go out and play. No cute stuff. No bullpoop. No stupidity. Get the puck to the net and make things happen.

It's hard to say this after watching the last three games, but tonight is very winnable.

Pheonix is in the WCF, so anything is possible in this new crazy NHL

The whiteout they did last night was pretty convenient for the Coyotes, since no one actually owns a jersey of theirs

I was hoping Meszaros may be ready, but I guess that was wishful thinking

Did they announce who will dress tonight in Girouxs spot? According to Bill it looks like Rinaldo.

We'll see what the character and makeup of the rest of this team is tonight.

I'm approaching it like the Boston series from a few years back. Just one more night to watch my team play.

Let's Go Flyers!

I'd take Lilja or Gus over a rusty Meszaros right now.
