Behind Enemy Lines: Pension Plan Puppets
The Flyers looked sloppy the other night in London, Ontario against a Maple Leafs team that look much more hungry than the orange and black. Paul Holmgren was not happy with the performance, and it appears that Philadelphia is going out tonight with one thing in mind -- winning a hockey game.
No more of that Logan Stephenson nonsense. Only a handful on the roster tonight for the Flyers were AHL players last season, but with Mike Richards, Scott Hartnell, Danny Briere, Chris Pronger, and Claude Giroux suiting up, it's an NHL-level roster tonight for the orange and black.
For Mark Bell, it could be one of his last chances to prove himself in this training camp. Coach Stevens has called him "just okay" so far this preseason, and he seemed lazy in the Flyers 3-1 loss to Wednesday night. Bell didn't play on Thursday night in London and if he doesn't show the coaching staff some character this evening, he could be sent packing.
Blair Betts, James van Riemsdyk, and Riley Cote, three players who are not guaranteed roster spots with the Flyers, will play once again tonight. Cote could be sent to Adirondack if the Flyers think his role is already filled by Dan Carcillo and Arron Asham. Betts and JVR have played in all three preseason games and have been some of the most impressive players in camp. If they continue to capitalize on their opportunities, it's going to be hard to keep them off the NHL roster.
Ray Emery and Brian Boucher will share the goaltending duties. After the jump, the full lineups for both teams.
Forwards - James van Riemsdyk, Mike Richards, Claude Giroux, Scott Hartnell, Danny Briere, David Laliberte, Dan Carcillo, Darroll Powe, Ian Laperriere, Riley Cote, Blair Betts, Mark Bell
Defensemen- Matt Carle, Chris Pronger, Danny Syvret, Braydon Coburn, Ole-Kristian Tollefsen, Randy Jones
Goalies - Ray Emery, Brian Boucher
Forwards:

John Mitchell - Nazem Kadri - Christian Hanson
Jay Rosehill - Rickard Wallin - Colton OrrDefence:
Tomas Kaberle - Mike Komisarek
Francois Beauchemin - Luke Schenn
Carl Gunnarson - Garnet ExelbyGoaltenders:

Go Flyers.

Do you guys think Cote makes the team? With Asham and Carcillo I don’t really see a need for him

I really hope not. He looks like a chicken with his head cut off out there. We have Carcillo, Asham and Lappy to handle the rough stuff.

I also don’t think he’s gonna make the cut. Apparently, as the team just showed, we have enough other fighters…

Dumb penalty call on Powe. When is a face wash a penalty?

Beauchemin can’t stand up for himself? Its pretty pathetic when 86 year old Jason Allison has to step in and protect Beauchemin.

Man, I hope we are able to score on a 4 min PP!

Mark Bell with a great pass to set up Danny!

Goalie change: Bouch in for Sugar Ray.
Emery looked good.

Ron Wilson thinks that Carcillo drawing a penalty is a “disgusting way to change the game.” haha

Not bad. He didn’t have to do too much. The Leafs 2nd goal was a fantastic deflection he couldn’t have done anything to stop.

Briere! Awesome to see him going again.

He has been good tonight! Its exciting!

Just saw Briere’s goal on the Molson ‘Taste of the Game’ highlight reel … wow. If he’s back to scoring goals like he did just now, look out.

Erm...
… Where are you guys watching this? Or are you just listening?

I know
Urgh these Maple Leafs commentators are retarded!

I thought....
… our goal was to WIN the game?
If we want to win the game, we shouldn’t be sitting back in the 3rd period – even though it’s preseason.

We still suck at protecting a lead!

If there is a new system in place...
… they’d best start implementing it.
They should be on the forecheck during the third.

Again...
… sitting back and taking a penalty because of it.

Again again...
Running around in the zone.
Maybe it’s rustiness, but it looks like last season. That is on the coach.

Well, Laperriere won the defensive zone draw… that didn’t happen too often last year… that’s a positive from this third period.

Another penalty!

So we head to overtime… incredible work on the kill by Carle, Pronger and Lappy. We’re going to have a pretty damn good PK this year.

I don’t like how we sat back during the third. And when we got into the offensive zone, we tried to get too cute with the puck. Again, same crap from last year.

Awful.

And so we did not.
Old habits die hard, I guess.

I will say this though: I’d rather go 0-3-3 in the preseason than 0-3-3 to begin the regular season.
by Ben Feldman on Sep 19, 2009 9:52 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Same here.
I will admit that I’m wary of the 3rd period meltdown, though.
As I said above, old habits die hard.
That said, Stevens needs to be made aware that he is skating on thin ice this year. You have some different players on the ice with the same result – a third-period meltdown, too many penalties, and a loss. Granted, it’s preseason and there’s some rust which needs to be taken off as well as chemistry which needs to develop.
But new players + same results = problem with the system.
