San Jose Sharks at Philadelphia Flyers, Oct 25, 2009 7:00 PM EDT
Wachovia Center - 7:00 PM EST - Philadelphia, PA
TV: CSN Philly HD, CSN California HD, RIS, NHL Network Canada
Radio: 610 WIP (internet stream), XM 204, Sirius 208
This is the open game thread.
Behind Enemy Lines: Fear The Fin, Battle of California
Brian Boucher will get his first start of the season tonight as his former team, the San Jose Sharks, travel to Philadelphia to take on the Flyers. The debate, of course, is who gets the edge: his former team that shoots against him in practice all year and knows his weaknesses, or the goalie who knows all of his former teammates? It's a tough question, but I guess we'll find out soon enough.
The Sharks really don't like Chris Pronger. We're talking hatred here. It was his eighth-seeded Ducks that knocked off the rival, first-seeded Sharks last year in the first round of the playoffs. But while that kind of history breeds contempt, it also breeds respect.
Here's an absolute gem from Fear The Fin today...
He's been Public Enemy Number One, labeled a menace to society, voted the dirtiest player in the NHL, been booed at 30 arenas in the league (even including one he played for), and cursed every organization that traded him. He's terrorized the Sharks for a decade, first with St. Louis, then with Edmonton, then with Anaheim.
And yet, I love the guy.
Call me a turncoat. Go ahead. I'll elbow you right in the mouth, stomp on your buddy, pulverize your star forward and defend my crease like lives are on the line. I'll play 30 minutes a night, make my below average partner look like a goddamn magician, kill penalties while skipping the shift change and thread a pass to spring a breakaway. I'll spit, I'll scowl, I'll swear, I'll flash a cocky grin.
Then I'll rip home a howitzer in the second overtime. And you will rue the day that I was ever born.
But enough hyperbole and more hockey. Defenseman Oskars Bartulis has been called up from the Phantoms for tonight's game, but there's no word on whether or not he'll be playing. He'll be available, but from what we all know, there is no injury to any of the Flyers defenseman outside of Ryan Parent who has already been out of the lineup for the past two games. Bartulis could take the place of either Ole-Kristian Tollefsen or Danny Syvret, but we're just not sure right now.
We expect the forward lines to be very similiar, if not identical, to what we saw last night against Florida. Mike Richards will play after the NHL decided not to levy a suspension upon him in the aftermath of his hit on David Booth. The offense last night was absolutely explosive last night and we should expect a similar outing tonight.
The Sharks held on for a one-goal victory last night in Atlanta against the Thrashers, but it didn't come without a cost. Forwards Devin Setoguchi and Ryan Vesce suffered leg injuries and will be out of the lineup. Two AHLers will play in their place. Tonight is the last game of a brutal six game East Coast road trip for the Sharks, and hopefully the fatigue they've got to be feeling works in the Flyers' favor.
Still, tired or not, the Sharks are a dangerous hockey club. In addition to Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau, they now have Dany Heatley to give opposing players fits. Those three players combined for the four San Jose goals last night. We'll probably see Evgeni Nabokov in goal for San Jose.
After the jump, questions to answer tonight.
Questions To Answer
- The Sharks have got to be tired after this long road trip. Can the Flyers take advantage?
- Who has the advantage tonight, the Sharks offense or Brian Boucher?
- Can the Flyers successfully stop Heatley, Thornton, and Marleau?
- Does Pronger continue to be the subject of recurring nightmares in San Jose?
Tonight's game is on CSN locally, the NHL Network in Canada, and RIS in Quebec. You can also listen live with Tim Saunders and Chris Therien on 610 WIP. As always, join us here for the conversation, and LET'S GO FLYERS!

Personally, Frank Seravalli’s post last night about Richards was just awful. He definitely went down in my book. And that’s after I saw him on DNL a few weeks ago (disclosure, it was his first time on-air) where I immediately got a negative opinion about him. There, he seemed like a guy who just wanted to brag about how much people talk to him. So, Panotch has a long way to go to be my least favorite writer.

I didn’t see Seravalli on DNL, but I agree about his post last night. I think he does a pretty good job most of the time, but it’s a small sample size. Panotch is a nice guy, but I see what you mean. That last Tweet is just ridiculous.
Carchidi is my least favorite, though. I’m not sure why.

As long as they keep Kimmo/Coburn separated from them until those two fix their luck, I like it too.

Boosh must have thought the lead guy still had the puck is all I can figure. He didn’t even react.

Timonen and Coburn on the ice for all three Sharks goals. Defensive pairings need to be shaken up.

obviously thats what i meant. who does coburn play with? whoever meshes with him the best out of okt and syrvet

I guess. I don’t know, I’d be afraid to put a struggling Coburn on the bottom pairing. That’s not how you get out of a slump.

Do SJ fans call Vlasic “Pickle?” Because I would wholeheartedly endorse that nickname.

I give Stevens the game against the Caps and the game against the Canes. If this team isn’t fired up… hope you all like Keenan.

What?
Did you watch last night’s game? I think they were pretty fired up for that one. I don’t think they played badly tonight, either. San Jose did an excellent job of keeping us to the outside and limited the quality of our scoring chances. To our credit, we kept putting the puck on net in the hopes that something good would happen and it did not. That’s just how it goes sometimes.
As for Mike Keenan coming here, I have no idea where that came from. I watched Keenan coach the Flames for the past two seasons. The game has passed him by. Iron Mike is done. If he coached here we’d all be talking about the good old days when Stevens coached the team.

Gagne
Is it me or was he not on the ice very much during the 3rd? Or maybe he just didn’t get to play the puck much.
Good game defensively by San Jose. Not much you can do about that.
