Get Toronto reaction at Pension Plan Puppets
Back on December 21, the Flyers were preparing to host the Florida Panthers in a game at the Wachovia Center. It was the first meeting between Florida and Philadelphia since Mike Richards knocked the crap out of David Booth. All signs pointed to the Panthers sniffing revenge. As we wrote in previewing that game...
Florida general manager Randy Sexton was pretty ticked off about the hit in his post game comments back in October, which forced Flyers GM Paul Holmgren to tell Sexton to "watch more hockey games." Apparently Sexton decided to watch the '70s hit Slap Shot in place of actual NHL hockey, because as reported by the Daily News, he's called up Ogie Ogilthorpe to suit up for the Panthers tonight.
Alright, so it's not actually the most feared goon in the Federal League and Syracuse's finest, Ogilthorpe, but instead it's Steve MacIntyre, who's played a grand total of 30 NHL games. The guy had 207 penalty minutes in just 27 games with AHL Hartford in the 2004-05 season, meaning he spent 12.7 percent of his Hartford career in the penalty box, and probably a lot less than that actually on the ice playing hockey.
Then there's Mike Duco, also called up today by Sexton and the Panthers, and while his resume isn't as impressive as MacIntyre's, he still has quite the rap sheet.
After last Wednesday's Philly beatdown of the Leafs, in which Dan Carcillo of all people scored the most gorgeous goal he could ever dream of and got his fair share of taunting in afterwards, it was clear that Toronto wasn't happy. Three fights came in the third period and there's no doubt that the Leafs marked down tonight's game on their calendars.
General manager Brian Burke apparently has as well. He's called up Jay Rosehill from the AHL, and while the Leafs say they brought him up for energy, we're not dumb. Everybody knows exactly why he's here. But will that turn into blood on the ice tonight?
Back to the Florida game we go. With a chance to make an on-ice statement and stand up for their teammate Booth, the Panthers did nothing that night. Florida beat up on the Flyers on the scoreboard and that didn't even lead to any cinema. Why should we expect it to be any different tonight?
Riley Cote may or not play tonight. You've got to imagine that Colton Orr, who was embarassed by Carcillo after that goal, wants to dance with Carbomb. It could happen. Besides that, I wouldn't get too excited. I have a feeling that the story tonight will be about the Flyers putting pucks past Vesa Toskala. Leaf fans feel the same way, as evidenced by this Pension Plan Puppets story titled "Make Other Plans: Toskala to Start..."
Besides, with the way Peter Laviolette has the Flyers playing smart, disciplined hockey, I think the boys will have the lowly Leafs right where they want them if they try to turn tonight's game into a boxing match. They're here to win, not to put on a show for Toronto's fans.
On the hockey side of things, Michael Leighton gets the start again tonight for the Flyers. Ole-Kristian Tollefsen will replace the injured Danny Syvret on the blueline tonight despite not being completely healthy himself. There's no word on how much ice time he'll get or if he'll be partnered with Kimmo Timonen as Danny Syvret has been. As mentioned, we may see Cote, but I find it hard to believe that Laviolette wants to change anything in a lineup that's clearly been working over the last three weeks. Maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part.
The Leafs have a top line of Phil Kessel, who is not adjusting well to playing on a terrible team with the spotlight securely focused on him, Nikolai Kulemin, and rookie Tyler Bozak. They reportedly did good things together against Carolina in their last game, which the Leafs lost, but Bozak has yet to see a top defensive pairing. He'll see that tonight in Chris Pronger and Matt Carle in what will be his third NHL game.
The Flyers should take care of business tonight, but of course this is the NHL and anything can happen, right?
After the jump, a look at the lineups, goaltenders, a few questions to answer this evening, and our in-game discussion.
Flyers Line Combinations - certainly subject to change
Hartnell - Carter - Briere
Gagne - Richards - Giroux
JVR - Powe - Asham
Carcillo - Betts - Laperriere
Cote?
Carle - Pronger
Timonen - Tollefsen/Coburn/Bartulis
Tollefsen/Coburn - Bartulis/Tollefsen
Starting Goaltenders
Questions To Answer
- Do the Leafs attempt to get the Flyers off their game, and if so, are they successful in doing so?
- Does Vesa Toskala suck as much as Leafs fans say?
- How much ice time does Jay Rosehill see, and if Cote gets in how much ice time does he see?
- Five minutes of ice time before Tollefsen re-injures himself. Over or under?
With a win tonight a Rangers loss against the Senators at 7, and a Boston loss at San Jose at 10:30, the Flyers will move into a tie for fifth place in the Eastern Conference. Believe it. Watch on CSN Philly, listen at 610 WIP, and join us here for the conversation. LET'S GO FLYERS!

I know it’s been said before, but do we really need Cote when we have Carcillo and Asham?

“Make Other Plans: Toskala to Start…”
Haha, wow. I would not be suprised at all if the Leafs won tonight. Kinda like the Eagles losing to the Raiders.
Remember when we’d look at the stats of a pitcher the Phils were going to face and salivate over how much we thought they were going to murder him? Then when he inevitably shut us out or threw a 3-hitter we turned the air blue in disgust?
Yeah, so I always have that in the back of my mind when someone tells me we’re going to kill their GT.
That was always the worst. And then they’d turn around and drop double digits on Johnny Cueto (who was top 5 in ERA at the time).
Except, Vesa Toskala is just flat out garbage. If the Flyers don’t win tonight, it won’t be because of him.

Cujo retired. They should’ve just kept him.

Stop with the jinxing.
Toskala actually has good career numbers against the Flyers. I can’t find them anywhere right now but I remember seeing them on a Flyers telecast against Toronto last year.
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
Toskala was also a good goaltender before last season.
If he plays out of his mind, the first thing I’ll do is apologize. I just don’t see it coming.

Toskala was also a good goaltender before last season.
I know at least one person who would disagree with this: Jonathan Willis. From his story a month ago:
Whatever the case, he hasn’t been an NHL calibre goaltender often enough this year. He’s dead last in the NHL in GAA. He’s dead last in the NHL in save percentage. He hasn’t been above the .900 line more than two games in a row. He’s not an NHL goalie. Like I said, it probably isn’t his fault, and it’s a shame to see injuries derail what was once a very promising career, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s time for Toronto to move on.

Oh, and he’s still dead last in the NHL in both GAA and save percentage. He also still hasn’t been above the .900 line more than two games in a row (even though he’s only played in three games since that story).

Either way, I’d like to see his career record against the Flyers that Mike mentioned, and then the splits on how many of those games were with San Jose and how many were with Toronto.

Vesa Toskala career vs. Philadelphia:
GP GS MIN W L OTL GA GAA SA SV SV% SO
5 5 302 4 1 0 11 2.18 122 111 .910 0
With San Jose, he played one game, 60 minutes, one goal against on 18 shots, got the W. (0.944 S%)
With Toronto, 4 games, 242 minutes, 10 goals against on 104 shots, 3-1-0. 2.48 GAA, 0.904 S%

Can I just say how thankful I am that BSH is the best hockey blog on SN*Nation? Now, I understand that I am biased but, really, could you ask for a more ideal sports blog? We have awesome community with knowledgeable readers and the best admins. Also, I just love the look of BSH. Its so neat and sleek looking.
I was browsing some of the other hockey blogs on SB*Nation and it made me 1.) overjoyed to be a Flyers fan and 2.) grateful that every time I turn on my computer I get to check out the latest on BSH.
Just thought I would let you guys and gals know. Travis, Ben and Geoff: you are guys are awesome and doing a wonderful job. Thanks. I figured it couldn’t hurt to positively affirm all of the work you guys do.
Just wanted to let everyone know how appreciated BSH is :)

Anyone know why Carcillo is a Flyers fan? He was on DNL today and they asked him about growing up in Toronto and are his family Leafs fans and he said none of his family are Leafs fans and he grew up rooting for the Flyers.
Anyone know his story?
I remember he spoke about it when he first got here. He basically said he loved the style of play and all that. Typical yet awesome reasons, of course.

But its not just Toronto right? I’ve been reading quite a few of the opposition SBN blogs over the past weeks, while its not necessarily the writers, certainly most of the commentors have some sort of problem. Its kind of hard for me to gauge, not having experienced any live games
No, it certainly seems not. Either you love the Flyers or hate them. At least that’s how it would appear given how other fans react to them. Of course, I think it has more to do with the fanbase and such and the overblown MSM views about the team/fans.

The first goal is going to be huge. The Leafs are an extremely fragile team mentally and they get discouraged really easily. They can keep this energy up if they get the motivation, though.

Ah Carter, Richards, Gagne Carcillo and Briere.
The whole point of me finding it has lost all meaning now but I always thought it was funny
My God, it was creepy because her voice totally sounds like mine, but it was most definitely not me. At the time I had a 1-year-old and no such time on my hands to be hanging around waiting for the team bus to depart. I don’t even know where they meet up, honestly. I’m a die-hard fan, but not really aware of such things. Two years ago, I went to Baltimore to see Camden Yards and catch the O’s-Yanks game and had no idea the entire Yanks team was staying in my hotel just a few doors down from me until I left the next morning. True story.
That’s awesome.
