by Geoff Detweiler on Jan 27, 2010 9:36 AM EST in Morning Fly By

Today's open discussion thread, including your daily dose of Philadelphia Flyers news and notes...

Last night's NHL scores... LA 5 - TOR 3; WAS 7 - NYI 2; ATL 2 - ANA 1; CLB 3 - NSH 2; PHX 5 - DET 4 (OT); OTT 3 - NJ 0; FLA 2 - MTL 1; CHI 4 - EDM 2.
With wins last night, both Washington and Ottawa have now won 7 games in a row.
An interview with Ryan Parent after his surgery. Something he said should scare everybody: "I had similar pain [in Nashville], it was the same disc, but a different spot, and not the same injury," Parent said. "It just happens to be the same disc." [CSNPhilly]
BSH recorded our weekly radio show last night, Travis will be posting it later today.
John Stevens made his Versus debut last night. Video included. [Daily News]
Ryan Miller showed off his Olympic mask and it's pretty sweet. [The Times Herald]
Remember Clint Malarchuk? No? Well I'm sure you remember when the Buffalo Sabres' goalie had his jugular vein sliced by a skate during a game in 1989. That was Clint Malarchuk in goal. Well, he was arrested for DUI over the weekend with a BAC of .233 - nearly three times the legal limit. [RecordCourier]
What's with the trend of picking really young players to wear the 'C'? Will the trend continue? [From The Rink]
After some... interesting photos of Patrick Kane surfaced over the weekend, Jon Willis says what a lot of us here have been saying: "I’d be surprised if every single team in the league didn’t have at least a couple of guys who enjoy the nightlife, maybe even a little too much." [Hockey or Die]
Tim McManus wonders what an Albany move would mean to Adirondack, using attendence numbers. [PostStar]
Green man is out in Vancouver. Again.

I remember Clint Malarchuk. He was a pretty darn good goaltender, but after his injury he was never the same. He came back too quickly.

Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?

Parent suffered that injury in high school.

green man

is our thing. “it’s always sunny” started the trend based on a fan at an eagles game (vs. the cowboys).

i hate when people do our thing. and these two are posers. where’s the riot punch?

Jay Bouwmeester; a bust in Calgary? The defensemen’s numbers have dropped; “he’s on pace for his lowest scoring totals since his sophomore season in 2003-04”, he did not make the Canadian Olympic team and people are wondering if he is worth the $5 mil. the Flames are paying him. Should the Flyers feel like they dodged a bullet when they couldn’t swing a deal for Bouwmeester last season? [Puck Daddy]

I’m not sure I agree with that. Bouwmeester never really was a heavy scorer anyway, no?

I told my fellow flyers friends that if they had been successful in getting Jay, that every flyer fan would hate the guy within a month of seeing him play regularly.

Anybody that has seen Bouwmeester play on a regular basis (I have, I live in S. FL) could have told you this ages ago. This is a case of a guy being totally overrated who got drafted by a franchise with little press exposure cashing in on his reputation alone.

That pic of Patrick Kane is a TERRIBLE photoshop. My cats could do a better job.

Then the Chicago Blackhawks need a better fake-detector:

Reached for comment, the Blackhawks confirmed the authenticity of the photos and said, “We’re aware of them. It’s a team-related issue and will be handled like any other situation and that will be internally.”
