Philadelphia Flyers at Carolina Hurricanes, Oct 2, 2009 7:00 PM EDT
Philadelphia Flyers (0-0-0) at Carolina Hurricanes (0-0-0)
RBC Center - 7:00 PM ET - Raleigh, NC
TV: The Comcast Network (Ch. 8 or 201 in HD)
Radio: 610 WIP, XM 204
This is the open game thread.
Behind Enemy Lines: 'Canes Country
A year ago, the Philadelphia Flyers had extremely high expectations. Opening night at the Wachovia Center was electric as the Flyers hosted the hated New York Rangers. Minutes after puck drop, the Blueshirts had a four goal lead. Electricity turned to anger. Things wouldn't get better in the coming games. The orange and black would start the season winless in their first six games, and with the lost 2006-07 season still fresh in Philadelphia's collective memory, fans were antsy.
The Flyers would bounce back from that disastrous start last season, of course, but at the end, the ultimate goal was not reached. With the additions to the lineup we've seen this offseason, the returning core of extraordinary scorers, the perfect mix of veteran experience and youth energy, and a goaltender out to prove his worth to the hockey world, the expectations for the 43rd season of Flyers hockey are higher than they've been in recent memory. Tonight, our team begins their journey toward the Stanley Cup.
It begins in Carolina, a place where the Cup was hoisted just a few years ago. The 'Canes have good reason to be excited about their season, too, having made a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals just a season ago. Goaltender Cam Ward just signed a hefty contract, and with Eric Staal leading the way, Carolina is looking for another Cup of their own. The energy at Raleigh's RBC Center tonight should be electric.
Here's to hoping the Flyers can shut down the crowd early. Riley Cote and Arron Asham are scratches tonight. Darroll Powe will be taking Asham's spot on the third line, playing on the right side next to Claude Giroux and James van Riemsdyk. Ray Emery gets the nod in goal, of course. It's his first meaningful NHL game since April 2008.
Joni Pitkanen is out of the lineup for the Hurricanes. Starting in goal for Carolina is, of course, Ward. He better be playing with that money he's making now. Full lineups and questions to answer after the jump...

Its been on and off so far. But it seems like it will be okay.

So I read something today that was kinda interesting. Emery, because he’s not Russian, was only allowed to play in 65% of his teams’ games in the KHL. Some weird rule they have to develop Russian goalies.

Carle took that hit real well, shocked he didnt go down.

The ice in Carolina is always terrible… might’ve contributed to that puck hopping over Carter’s stick.

Briere is a good replacement for Lupul on this line, I think.
I’d still like to see what Briere could do with Giroux, though.

Boring fight, negates a PP though for Carolina
Broad Street Hockey - SB Nation's Philadelphia Flyers Blog. Makin' it look mean since 1967.
Carolina announcers just brought up D13 fight against Talbot claiming that it lost the Flyers the series.

Shouldn’t be an instigator if it responds to a penalized hit though, IMO. Isn’t that what fighting is for?

Yeah, I agree. They should be using the instigator when fights are started after clean hits. They’ve gotta walk that line.

by Travis Hughes on Oct 2, 2009 8:17 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah. Personally I would say that if the hit was questionable you can fight without an instigator; even if there was no PIM on the hit. But clearly clean hits that are just hard should be penalized every time.

I know thats what I am saying. How does the NHL ever expect players to respect each other eliminate hits to the head if players get kicked out of a game for 10 mins trying to stick up for one another.
They’re trying to stop fights from happening as the result of clean hits. It’s become the norm and it’s kinda sickening.
Gleason was right to stick up for his teammate in that case, though.

Carcillo got damn lucky he didn’t cost the Flyers on a power play with that stupid boarding. I can’t tell you how little I missed him.
And I like Pyorala, but I don’t think he has what it takes to be a grinder down low on the power play.

Giroux only saw 32 seconds on the PP that period. That’s less than Pyorala (45 seconds) and JVR (40 seconds).
I wonder if Giroux’s not 100%.
Carcillo’s ridiculous grin after that goal dims my dislike for a while.
At least until his next shift.

I think I’m the only one who is not impressed with Betts. He seems to over-commit an awful lot. Especially on the PK. He’s doing a lot of excess skating, and just putting himself out of position.
Broad Street Hockey -
Makin' it look mean since 1967.
But he’s got a ton of energy and effort to make up for over-pursuing! There’s a reason he’s a “face off and PK specialist” and it’s not because he’s got a ton of game.

I’m not really against him, but I could understand it. He’s an energy guy that never quits but really isn’t good. Those guys are so annoying to play against you just want them to go away and can’t figure out why they are successful at anything. He was a bit of a pain to play against in the playoffs but it’s not like he was the reason the Caps went down 1-3.

The other ref should be able to overrule if he had a good angle on it. Obviously, it’s tough because the play stops, but it’s better than getting the call wrong.
Broad Street Hockey - SB Nation's Philadelphia Flyers Blog. Makin' it look mean since 1967.
by Travis Hughes on Oct 2, 2009 8:30 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah, like on that call, the trailing ref sees Kimmos hand on his back, and immediately calls a penalty. The near ref sees the poke check and the legal takedown, and doesn’t call one. Two angles doesn’t allow for a clear picture. (yeah, I came up with that all by myself)
Broad Street Hockey -
Makin' it look mean since 1967.
by Geoff Detweiler on Oct 2, 2009 8:31 PM EDT up reply actions
I also think the NHL should go to permanent ref teams so the same 2 guys get used to each other and how they want to call that play. A quick glance between the two could confirm that the nearside ref saw the play and thinks it’s clean instead of the backside ref assuming the near guy musta missed it.

Four games last night, they showed only the Caps/Bruins highlights today.
Oh, and a quick update one time on the live Panthers/Hawks game. One update. Ridiculous.

But you guys are actually Flyers fans so you have an independent reason to be here. I thought of all places I could be safe from having to watch that a Flyers site would be one.

Kinda a boring period, but that’s good when you’re up on the road late.

Guess that home field advantage really isn’t all that important to them, even with all their closer issues.
Yeah, stinking down the stretch usually isn’t a good indicator of a long post season run. But the Cards were able to do it somehow in 2006, so maybe we’ll get lucky.
The Dodgers are playing like crap. I hope we get them.

I don’t know. The Dodgers hit LHP much better than the Rox or Cards. The playoffs really are an entirely new season. But all things being equal, the Dodgers rotation doesn’t impress me much. I would not like to see the Cards in a short series.
Amen to that.

That was a great first game for the Flyers. Emery looked good. The PK put up a goose egg. Pronger looked strong. What more could you ask for.
Wow, big night for Emery huh? Big statement to make in the first game back in the league.

I’ll be civil, but you can’t possibly expect me to be enthusiastic.
