Game 17, Preview and Open Thread: The Hammer Enters The Hall, New Jersey Devils at Philadelphia Flyers

New Jersey Devils at Philadelphia Flyers, Nov 16, 2009 7:00 PM EST

Behind Enemy Lines: In Lou We Trust

It'll be Hammer Time at the Wachovia Center tonight as Dave Schultz enters the Flyers Hall of Fame. But after the memories are relived, the speeches are given, and the standing ovation for a great Flyer subsides, there is a hockey game to be played. And man, should tonight be a hockey game.

The New Jersey Devils are the hottest team in hockey, winners of their last eight and nine of their last 10. They've won nine straight in a row on the road and are undefeated away from home on the season. With a win tonight, they'll tie the record for most road wins to begin a season.

It looked like the Devils win streak could come to an end on Saturday night. Washington jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead before New Jersey struck back with five unanswered goals en route to a 5-2 victory. The Devils finished their chances and outplayed the Caps when it mattered most, and that's how they've been able to string together this streak.

New Jersey isn't blowing teams away. For the most part, their wins have been one or two goal cushions that were the result of come-from-behind efforts. Cue John Fischer from In Lou We Trust...

In my opinion, the Devils are in that odd area where they've won so much - undefeated on the road - yet the wins largely didn't come easy.  In five of the last six games, the Devils conceded the first goal - most recently, the first two goals against the Caps - forcing them to make a comeback.  Can we honestly expect the Devils to keep doing this over and over?  Yet, just when I think the opening to a game may lead to the eventual end of the winning streak, the Devils dig deep and eventually make their presence felt, equalizing before killing off the game for yet another win.

Star-divide

So what do the Flyers have to do to win tonight? They need to score first and not let up off the gas pedal until the final horn sounds. In essence, they need to do the same things they did in defeating the Devils back in October. In that game, they received outstanding goaltending from Ray Emery while five different players in front of him scored goals. They were helped by Martin Brodeur, who looked positively awful that night, and we shouldn't expect that again from the future Hall of Famer. 

But while the Devils are scary good right now, there's no reason to believe the Flyers can't end their streak. James van Riemsdyk is back in the lineup after missing Saturday's game with the flu. Claude Giroux is switching to center, and he'll play in between Darroll Powe and Arron Asham tonight. Taking his place at wing is Mika Pyorala, who will move up to play with Mike Richards and Scott Hartnell.

Riley Cote is back in the press box thanks to the return of JVR. Ole-Kristian Tollefsen is still out, and it's looking like we'll see more of Oskars Bartulis tonight, meaning Danny Syvret will sit again.

Questions To Answer

  1. Do the pre-game ceremonies hurt the Flyers or help pump them up?
  2. Can the Flyers solve Brodeur, and can Emery out-duel him again?
  3. How does JVR look in his return from the flu?
  4. How many fights are there tonight, out of respect for Mr. Schultz?
  5. Does the move to center help Claude Giroux?
  6. How much emotion does The Hammer show in his Hall of Fame speech?

Tonight's game will be broadcast on Versus in the US and TSN 2 in Canada. Locally, you can listen at 610 WIP or online at the Flyers official website. If you're going to the game, arrive early and applaud Dave Schultz until your hands fall off. If you're staying home, as always, join us here for the conversation, and LET'S GO FLYERS!

Why not Boucher tonight? It’s the Devils, it’s a night about Flyers history … and wouldn’t you want to have an actually rested Emery going into this West Coast trip?

Yup, just the once against San Jose. He didn’t look good.

I’d be shocked if he didn’t play on this upcoming trip though.

I think the same thinking, but on the flip side, was the determining factor in why he played against San Jose.

Clearly didn’t work out, though.

I think Boosh will get a lot of action on the West coast trip. He faced those teams a lot last year while playing for the sharks. I’d actually like to see Emery go against a good team like the Devils

It would be too much for Versus to show Schultz’s speech. Gotta watch highlights instead. C’mon… I understand this is a “national” audience (i.e., this area, some people in North/Central Jersey, some people in Buffalo and a couple of Pittsburgh bandwagoners) but, really?

Flyers will likely be fined by the NHL for the pre-game ceremony inducting Dave Schultz into the franchise Hall of Fame taking too long.

I hate you too, NHL.

by Ben Feldman on Nov 16, 2009 7:22 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Just like Washington complaining to the league for the Ron Hextall night ceremony taking too long, and the NHL bringing the hammer down (pun intended tonight). Tonight, it’s kinda fitting considering its Dave Schultz.

Who cares. Take an hour — its worth it.

by SkookFlyerfan on Nov 16, 2009 7:29 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Well,

Hextall wore number 27, so according to my arbitrary mathematics the league subtracted 2 from Hexy’s number and multiplied the answer by 1,000 in order to get their fine.

Assuming that is true, the Flyers will be fined $6,000 for tonight.

Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?

by mikefive on Nov 16, 2009 7:29 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

They subtracted two for the number of goals Hextall scored in his career.

I think they could be an 7 or 8 seed. They’ve got some pretty good goaltending in Roloson, and a lot more energy and raison d’etre with Tavares.

I think NYI-BOS is just the kind of game that best not go into OT.

Yea, they are a solid team. I think Travis is right though, I can’t imagine that they are gonna be able to maintain all year but remember that they soon will have a surplus of good goaltending. If they are smart they could acquire a solid top 6 forward to get them that last lil thing they need to get into the playoffs. We’ll see…

I’d rather win the good old-fashioned way, but if the ref is going to help one team he should help both. Think of a baseball umpire who makes bad ball-strike calls against both teams.

I haven’t seen the whole game, but he better have at least one shot tonight…. 17+ TOI and 0 shots on Saturday was ridiculous

beached whale sighting!!! oh Brodeur

Perfect line to have out there for this kind of moment. Hard-working line to keep the puck in deep, can’t get Brodeur out of the net.

I like how one of the Devils in front of the net celebrated the goal.

true, it was sweet when it was stubble, but now he looks like hes about to tie some girl to the railroad tracks.

Are they really giving out penalties for this?

Did they send both captains in?

You know the Flyers won’t be backing off with 15 seconds left in a 2 goal game for a while.

Which is a good thing, at least

Just more bad blood to fuel the game in December, that’s all

That was only the Flyers’ third division game. Ridiculous.

It’s the middle of November and we haven’t played either New York team yet. That’s ridiculous, too.

“What does fighting in front of the net do for team bonding?”

That’s about as dumb a post game interview questions as I’ve heard.

That’s better than Coatesy asking Stevens if some goal against hurt the Flyers’ chances of winning the game.
