Your daily dose of Philadelphia Flyers news...
- Last night's NHL scores... Flyers 3, Devils 2 - NYI 4, BOS 1 - CBJ 3, EDM 2 (SO) - PIT 5, ANA 2 - LAK 4, FLA 3 (SO) - TBL 4, PHX 1
- We've got recaps of last night's from NHL.com, CBC, the Inquirer, Daily News, CSN Philly, the Newark (NJ) Star-Ledger, the Bucks Co. Times, the NY Post, FGSB, Meltzer, and In Lou We Trust.
- ... and stories on Dave "The Hammer" Schultz's induction into the Flyers Hall of Fame from the Flyers' official site, the Daily News, the Bucks Co. Times, and Anthony SanFillippo.
- Schultz speaking pre-game about the current problem with headshots in the NHL: "Get rid of the instigator and I bet most of the players would be a lot more careful with those hits to the end (sic?). There are no consequences. And the equipment is out of hand. I want the guys to be protected, but the shoulder pads now are a joke. When I played, I wouldn't hit a guy with my shoulder. I would hurt my shoulder!" [FanHouse]
- A transcript of John Stevens' post-game presser. [Courier-Post]
- Arron Asham suffered an oblique strain in the game and he won't make the trip out west with the team this week. He'll miss about two weeks, overall. [Inquirer]
- David Laliberte has been recalled from Adirondack to replace Asham. He'll meet the team in Los Angeles. [Post-Star]
- The Florida Panthers have a new owner, and when asked if his club is the next Phoenix, he says "Absolutely not. It's not even a good comparison at all" The man's name is Stu Siegel, and he has a Philadelphia connection as a former member of the UPenn hockey club. [Puck Daddy]
- You've probably realized that Comcast SportsNet in our fair city has re-branded themselves as "CSN Philly" and that they're pushing content on their website more and more, even introducing television reporters as "CSNPhilly.com Insiders." Could this be a preemptive strike at ESPN by Comcast, as they deepen their local roots? [The Sporting Blog]
- A defense of the Bullies-era of hockey in regards to today's headshot issue. [USA Today]
- The top-10 worst teams of the decade. Guess which one of ours makes the cut... [PD]
- Broad Street Hockey Radio goes LIVE tonight at 7 PM Eastern. Just come right here to the homepage later today for everything you need to know.

From Meltzer:
There’s no such thing as a must-win game in November, but last night’s game against the Devils came pretty close to qualifying for the Flyers.
Seriously? This was a nice game to win, for sure, but absolutely nowhere near a must-win.

A shot at Syvret?
From Frank Seravalli’s article on Dave Schultz – specifically, the blurb about Oskars Bartulis:
“I’ve really been impressed because he’s predictable, and I like that – you know what you are going to get,” Flyers coach John Stevens said. “When he has the puck, he doesn’t panic with it. He makes a good first pass. He’ll hold onto it if he has to and he won’t just throw it away.”
And, something else to note:
Last night, Bartulis skated with Parent; he blocked four shots and was a plus-2 in 12 minutes, 27 seconds.
I’ll take that. I hope Parent can stay healthy, because we’re just beginning to see how effective he can be. If Parent stays healthy and Bartulis shows that his first two games were no fluke, we’ve got ourselves three solid defensive pairs I think.
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?

Three service-able pairs, at the very least.

Parent has looked pretty good these past few games. And while I’d take a serviceable 3rd pair, we may end up with a solid 3rd. Which is nice. I’d prefer to spread the ice time around a bit more. If for nothing other than to keep legs fresh.

Definitely. Pronger is an animal but he’s 32 years old and we’ve got him for a while. If we can keep his average ice time below 28 minutes, I’ll be happy.

I wish he was 32. Then having him for 8 seasons might not sound so ridiculous.

Ooh, yeah. Typo, my bad.
