This is the open game thread.
Behind Enemy Lines: Winging It In Motown
- How will Ray Emery perform? He's facing off against another NHL team for the first time in two years. Does he look up to the challenge?
- As we mentioned earlier today, tonight is an important game for James van Riemsdyk. A solid performance could go a long way toward his chances of making the Flyers roster. He'll be on the Flyers top line with Claude Giroux and Danny Briere, going head-to-head with Detroit's top line of Johan Franzen, Pavel Datsyuk, and Tomas Holmstrom.
- Chris Pronger will suit up for the Flyers for the first time. He'll be paired with Matt Carle.
- An interesting bottom defensive pairing will see impressive youngsters Joonas Lehtivuori and Oskars Bartulis playing together. How do they handle the NHL pressure?
- Mark Bell and Blair Betts, both in camp on a professional try out basis, will state their cases in game action tonight.
Flyers lineup:
James van Riemsdyk - Claude Giroux - Danny Briere
Scott Hartnell - Jeff Carter - Mike Pyorala
Andreas Nodl - Jared Ross - Krys Kolanos
Ian Laperriere - Blair Betts - Mark Bell
Matt Carle - Chris Pronger
Randy Jones - Ryan Parent
Oskars Bartulis - Joonas Lehtivouri
Ray Emery
Brian Boucher
Red Wings lineup:
Johan Franzen - Pavel Datsyuk - Tomas Holmstrom
Kris Draper - Justin Abdelkader - Patrick Eaves
Mattias Ritola - Kris Newbury - Jan Mursak
Johan Ryno - Cory Emmerton - Jeremy Williams
Nicklas Lidstrom - Jakub Kindl
Derek Meech - Brian Rafalski
Jonathan Ericsson - Andy Delmore
Jimmy Howard
Daniel Larsson
As mentioned, there will be no television coverage of the game tonight, but you can listen on 610 WIP online at the Flyers website. Talk it up here during the game in the first game thread of the new season.
Go Flyers!

Seems like WIP online has a pretty big delay.

I like that we’ve heard JvR’s name a couple of times already. It’s pretty surreal to hear Timmy talking about Pronger and realizing — oh wait, he’s on our team.

Every time I hear "Van Riemsdyk", I think I'm hearing "Vanbiesbrouck"
That takes me back

Beezer the Geezer!
Loved his helmet!

There’s a picture on the wall at the Skate Zone in Atlantic City where Beezer and the team are celebrating a win. Everybody else is about a foot taller than him at least. Hilarious.

But it sounds like Emery’s giving up rebounds? All he’s done is “knock down” the puck.

Riemer scores! 1-0 Flyers

Word of advice people. To make pre-season on the radio more interesting, you’d better be drinking like it’s the playoffs.

Damn. Emery is having rebound control issues
by flyrsfrk05 on Sep 16, 2009 8:44 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I get the feeling that Emery doesn’t have very good rebound control at all.

Emery let in a goal in preseason?!?!
Put that chump on waivers.

Chris Therien is crushing former teammate Andy Delmore. Wonder what their beef was.

The Jamie Tardif goal puts the Flyers in a 2-1 hole they’ll never dig out of.
Here’s hoping we can at least get a good lottery pick in the 2010 draft…
