Questions to Answer

 

  1. Michael Leighton's first game since... you know. What's the deal?
  2. Kimmo Timonen is playing, but you know he's not 100 percent. Does he show his injury?
  3. Both teams were completely obliterated in their last games. Extra jump off the start?
  4. Defensively, the Flyers have been terrible across the board in the last two. Any improvement in that department?
Go Flyers.

Good idea to start Leights?

I think so just for the wake up call. I imagine the players would really focus with Leighton making his first start. Even if he doesn’t play well the rest of the team should show a better effort.

Good call. They have been playing some uninspired hockey of late. Hope Leights has a decent outing. I would hate to clean up the mess around here with all the bashing and poo flying into the fan.

Thanks. I’m in my hotel in Pittsburgh (arrived today for the Winter Classic). Hope I can watch the game on one of these streams. The hotel told me that streaming video may result in excessive bandwidth usage, in which case they’ll cut off my access if they feel I’m slowing down the network for others. Considering I’m in the hotel that all the NHL reps and media are in, I imagine the network is already getting a good workout.

Woohoo go flyers (trying my best to forget about the last two games). Maybe the mid-season Leighton effect will be the same as last season and we will go on another hot streak.

What has been up with G lately? Have other teams started defending him better or does he have the flu? Also, Leino… where you at? You haven’t been too busy effortlessly controlling the puck in the offensive zone lately. Step up, please.

No, that was frankly classless by Poile. I know he’s very limited with financial and other resources in Nashville and is absolutely trying to do the best he can in that kind of position and you’re supposed to take full advantage of every rule as GM, but that’s how you get a lot of other organizations really mad at you and as a GM that’s how you lose goodwill with your peers.

From a pure hockey perspective sure, but Svatos and his family decided on St. Louis and other organizations won’t forget about it if/when Poile is doing trade negotiations. It also sets a rather nasty precedent for other European players wanting to come back to the NHL mid-season.

Even so, this seems a little heartless. St. Louis and Svatos signed a deal. Poile could have approached Svatos to make a deal then. But instead he took advantage of a rule and left the dealmakers unhappy.

Weber’s a pretty great D though. I hope that if they can’t sign him they send him to Philly like they do all their other defensemen. Even if we can’t sign him, err, it would be nice to know that Nashville are still helping us out.

On a somewhat related note to the Svatos discussion, if Foppa wanted to play with the Flyers after the deadline would he have to go through waivers?

Just to clarify, I propose getting Gags back somehow and signing Foppa so that we can recreate that wonderful chemistry and end up with:

Nodl-Richards-Giroux
Hartnell-Briere-Leino
JVR-Carter-Zherdev
Gagne-Forsberg-Powe

I think that 4th line could provide some solid energy shifts, match up against other team’s top lines and possibly provide the odd timely goal.

LOL. Leighton skating off is the “power” portion of our power play tonight…

They should tactfully make Boosh wear Leighton’s jersey and mask, and the Kings will just try firing it five-hole all night and will be shocked when they can’t score.

Simon Gagne may move between towns, wear new jerseys and call different arenas home, but at the end of the day, he will always be a Philadelphia Flyer.

So I got so bored waiting for this game that I started playing simple addicting online games. 2 hrs later I’ve missed 4 goals and virtually all of the 1st period.
