New Jersey Devils at Philadelphia Flyers, Nov 16, 2009 7:00 PM EST
New Jersey Devils (14-4-0, 28 pts) at Philadelphia Flyers (10-5-1, 21 pts)
Wachovia Center - 7:00 PM EST - Philadelphia, PA
TV: Versus HD, TSN 2 HD
Radio: 610 WIP, XM 205
This is the open game thread.
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.
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
- Do the pre-game ceremonies hurt the Flyers or help pump them up?
- Can the Flyers solve Brodeur, and can Emery out-duel him again?
- How does JVR look in his return from the flu?
- How many fights are there tonight, out of respect for Mr. Schultz?
- Does the move to center help Claude Giroux?
- 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?
boosh has only played like once hasn’t he?

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?
wondered about that…haven’t they shown those type of ceremonies before on Vs.?

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.
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.

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?
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…
Perfect timing, commercial and class is over.

I know we had a 2-1 lead, but it feels like we just broke a tie for some reason.

We haven’t gotten over the “3rd period defending a lead” panic yet, I think

He’s got a lot of highlights left.

He’s been limited in his ice time over the last few games. Looks like he’s in the dog house.
We can roll four pretty solid lines. No idea why we don’t take advantage of it more.

He hasn’t played since the midway point of the second. I suppose that’s a possibility.

SanFillippo just Tweeted that the Flyers won’t say if its an injury or not and that an “update is coming.”
The timing of these things is just getting too weird… it really makes me think these guys are reading us right now.

Yeah, but he hasn’t been playing nearly as much as he should/deserves to.

Briere with some vigilante justice for the high stick he took…?
haha, big kill here.

Like i said before. . . . . Carter has to find the net on chances like that. He’s far from last year’s form
i can see what you mean man. I thought he had that shot so bad on him, should be 4-1
Skip the Pitt, Move on down to Broad Street....

He fell way off his pace after the All Star break last year too, his second half was nothing like the first
by DragonGirl0583 on Nov 16, 2009 9:31 PM EST up reply actions
maybe reverse fortunes, maybe his second half this season will be better then his first??? i can dream right?

Yep, shows you how ridiculous his first half was last year.

Crazy talent
If only he worked as hard as Giroux
by Prometheus74 on Nov 16, 2009 9:34 PM EST up reply actions
Giroux might not have the points to prove it, but what a set of hands he has….his passing is pretty crisp.

Forsberg-like is all I can think of. His hands and vision are two things that can’t be taught.

not that i am realy complaining cause he will earns his assists this year. I would just like to see him score
understandable…i want the Flyers to score like 100 goals a game, I don’t mind when we blow teams up on the scoreboard.

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

Keith Primeau all-star jersey sighting!

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.

Hm, wonder if that counts
Broad Street Hockey - SB Nation's Philadelphia Flyers Blog. Makin' it look mean since 1967.
I don’t mind.

Goal counts. Oh well.

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

Don’t care who it’s modeled after, it still looks horrible

Solid victory right there.
Shove it, Devils.

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.
