Sorry for no preview tonight. The SBN servers were down for some time this evening and we weren't able to get it up prior to the game. In any event, this is your open thread.
Again, apologies there's no more meat here. I'm posting this from my phone anyway, crazy technology.
Leighton is your starter. LET'S GO FLYERS!

As soon as he telegraphed that pass, we had a problem, because he showed where that pass was gonna go.

So here’s a good question, might do a writeup on it tomorrow.
Holmgren said they could carry three goalies, but eventually, there will be an odd man out. Is there a chance Boucher is gone? Leighton is cheaper than him, although I think Boucher is still better. Still, Leighton has proven to be more than capable as a backup.
Broad Street Hockey - SB Nation's Philadelphia Flyers Blog. Makin' it look mean since 1967.
Absolutely Boucher is gone. I would almost guarantee it unless Leighton or Emery comes down with a long term injury.
I guess Leighton can’t be sent down? Otherwise that would be my first course of action.
I don’t think it’s an absolute. I don’t think there’s any doubt Boosh is the better goalie (at least in my mind), but Leighton is cheaper and capable.

by Travis Hughes on Jan 6, 2010 7:41 PM EST up reply actions
I don’t know if he is capable. He’s never proven he is, I’m not sure if he’s been given a chance like this though
I do thing Leighton is capable of being a backup which is extactly what he would be once Emery is back.
Bouch has a better track record but has had a lot more opportunities.
The big thing will be cost. If the Flyers decide they need to make a move at the deadline, that extra cash will help.
No doubt, but in his time here this season he’s proven the opposite. All about the here and now.
I’m not saying I want Leighton to stay over Boucher, but it’s a fair question to raise, I think.

by Travis Hughes on Jan 6, 2010 8:12 PM EST up reply actions
How long til he reverts to form? A couple games after we waive Boucher?
If we can keep all three, then that would be the best option. At the moment its all about making the playoffs, so the argument that losing Boosh to clear money for the deadline is moot. We might not even make it that far to be a buyer so we need the best possible team we can right now
And there’s also Emery coming back early, possibly too early, and the risk of being re-injured there. I think that’s where the best argument for keeping three goalies lies.

by Travis Hughes on Jan 6, 2010 8:18 PM EST up reply actions
Since Leighton only costs $300k, I don’t see why they can’t carry 3 goalies for awhile. You have one spare forward and one spare defenseman. I think it’d be more likely that one of Pyorala, Cote, and Tollefsen get waived than Leighton or Boucher do.
Either way, with the news that Parent expects to miss 2 weeks, I expect him to go on LTIR so that Leighton can stay for at least that amount of time.
Still, if I were ranking in order of preference, I’d waive Cote, Leighton, Tollefsen, Pyorala.

It all makes sense now. I go up to PSU for football games all the time. I knew PSU had some Pen’s fans, didn’t know how many until two years ago. I was walking back from the Blue and White game. Also the day of the infamous game 6 vs the Pens where the Flyers blew a 3-0 lead. Parked down town where the frat houses were. As I was walking past downtown, I went past some restaurant bar that is next to the Family Clothesline and there were a shit ton of Pen’s fans there all watching a tv attached to the wall. Flyers were up 3-0, stopped to watch the Carcillo fight and well…the rest is history.
yea that’s the lions den. I’m actually in one of the frats that you walked past. The thing about 18-22 year olds is that they dont know dick about Penguins hockey. Those fans you passed are the ones who didn’t watch the pre lockout pens, or the 4-0 Flyers beatdown series wise we put down on them until recently. Dumb hockey fans for the most part

Eh, the problem is is that the Pens were a relatively small franchise until their first cup in 91, when someone that age range was very young. I’d be pissed if a 40 year old man came up to me and said the Flyers suck. But other than that, college kids are for the most part stupid, and Pittsburgh isn’t known for breeding intellectuals

That was a really great trade for both teams, I think…the ’Yotes certainly love having Upshall in Phoenix where he gets top line/power play time and has made the most of it…Chico has played really well for the Flyers.

Absolutely. Upshall has good offensive skills (some questionable plays in his own end sometimes, and too many bad penalties (lazy stick fouls) at the beginning of the season that earned him a night in the press box)…for the Coyotes it’s top line talent….for the Flyers, not so much…
Carcillo is a pure energy guy…some offensive talent, with lots of pop and a good agitator (which is a nice thing for the Flyers who don’t need him to score a lot of goals). I remember when he got back from his suspension how he was the best player on the team for a bunch of games during their slide just by being the guy that skated hardest. Different roles, indeed.
Philly Sports and Coyotes Hockey - and yes, I am tired of defending my teams...
For his part, he has never thrown a punch at a guy after taking him down and having a “dominant” position like that…at least not that I can remember…he’s always been a respectful fighter…
Philly Sports and Coyotes Hockey - and yes, I am tired of defending my teams...
You are absolutely right, he never does and guys do it all the time. It makes me sick when I see it.
Yeah, except for that one incident against the Caps, I’ve always thought he was a very respectful fighter.

It reminds me of the penalties they gave Craig Weller a few years back when he pummelled a guy on the Blue Jackets: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u1zaZe_qP4
The BJ announcers go crazy, but Gretzky had a great take on it in the presser saying something like “I don’t think he was skating over to get his autograph” Weller got thrown out of that one and the Coyotes were severely penalized. Still one of the greatest shifts ever, imo.

James Duthie was criticizing Carcillo for apparently getting into a jawing match with one of the leafs assistant coaches. Also, Bob Mackenzie was saying that the Flyers should be less “flyersey” at times. whatever the hell that means. I wouldn’t take it that seriously though.
Well Flyersey this year has meant shitty, so if that is what he meant then I’d agree.
But it wasn’t…so F him.
I generally like the TSN guys, but they certainly let their biases show a lot. Last night’s USA/Canada game was exhibit A, and you should expect the same thing when the Leafs are playing an American team.

When they announced Leighton as the starter tonight I kind of assumed it was because they were giving Pittsburgh to Boucher.

for a team whose on the outside looking in, the only logic is to win. Doesn’t matter who you play. The only people that can contemplate that are the San Jose sharks of the world

just basically saying that 2 weeks ago we were contemplating a lose season. Today we’re contemplating a quality win

all I am saying is I’d rather them not blow their load tonight and then be impotent tomorrow vs the Pens.
always better to blow the load then have 2 quality starts that result in a no decision

Can’t really tell because its right below section 209 but the same event has happened three times since one of the giveaway games

when they fight US it’s considered standing up to the goonery or defending oneself. Twisting reality to fit your own agenda

Well that was fun.
Hopefully Gagne, Giroux, Carter, and Hartnell can get it going against Pittsburgh tomorrow seeing as how everyone else scored tonight.
What a night for Chico Carbombs. First, he opts not to fight and scores a possible Goal Of The Week instead. Then, he gets into a couple of scraps and goes all Ozzy on us again. And even after all of that, he managed to answer all of Amy “Boom Goes The Dynamite” Fadool’s questions with a straight face.
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
That’s the best Boom Goes The Dynamite reference ever.

She’s really not that much better than that guy, is she? Easy on the eyes, difficult in just about every other way.

I’ve always contended that CSN picked her and Marshall Harris up in some idiot exchange program, while losing Lance Crawford, who was money.

Just got back from the game guys. Like 10 belligerent Leafs’ fans were starting fights all night near the left corner in the 100 level of the goal that the Flyers shoot on in the 1st and 3rd periods. That is what the crowd thing was, the entire 100 level was looking that way during the Leafs 2nd goal. Pretty entertaining, it took 15+ event staff people to break it up and it happened multiple times. Fun game to go to for my Flyers Santa Sack.
