Game 68, Preview and Game Thread: Philadelphia Flyers at New York Rangers

Philadelphia Flyers at New York Rangers, Mar 14, 2010 3:00 PM EDT

  Rangers_blue_medium
 
It usually takes about 90 minutes to get from Philadelphia to New York. Last night, it took the Flyers about seven. Thanks to a reeee-diculous storm that battered the Delaware Valley and the Jersey shore which caused power outages across the Garden State, the Flyers had to get off their NY Penn bound Amtrak train in Metuchen and take a bus the rest of the way to Manhattan.


Now safely in New York, today's game should be fun, huh? It's the first time these two teams have met since Dan Carcillo beat up Marian Gaborik, and it's clear that revenge is really the only thing on the minds of the Rangers. 

Sean Avery has been a healthy scratch. Not today. Tough guy Jody Shelley will be the Rangers 'answer' from a physical stand point. Look for him to challenge Carcillo at some point during his three minutes of ice time, while Danny will likely shrug him off and go assist a Mike Richards goal. 

There's no honor in that, you know?

Meanwhile, what the Rangers really should be doing is focusing on not being a bad hockey team. They're three points out of the last playoff spot, and with a loss to the Flyers today, they could really dig their hole a lot deeper. It's a huge game for them. For the Flyers, it's a huge game as well, as they continue to ride the emotional high from Saturday's thrilling 3-2 win over Chicago. 

Michael Leighton is in goal again today after a spectacular performance a day ago. He'll be challenged by an offense that's much, much worse that Chicago's. New York sucks. 

After the jump, lineups, questions, and our in-game discussion.

Star-divide

Flyers Line Combinations

Gagne - Richards - Carcillo
Briere - Giroux- Hartnell
van Riemsdyk - Carter - Leino
Powe - Betts - Laperriere

Pronger - Carle
Timonen - Krajicek
Parent - Coburn

Laviolette wouldn't tip his hand on any lineup changes from yesterday, saying that 'everyone will take warmups.' No ****, man. 

New York Line Combinations

Prospal - Jokinen - Gaborik
Dubinsky - Anisimov - Callahan
Prust/Avery - Christensen - Drury
Shelley - Boyle - Lisin/Avery

Staal - Rozsival
Del Zotto - Girardi
Redden (lol) - Gilroy

Not sure where Avery fits in there, but my guess is he replaces Prust or Lisin. 

Starting Goaltenders


GPMINWLEGAGAGAASASVSV%SO
Michael Leighton 32 1731 17 8 80 2.77 873 793 .908 1


GPMINWLEGAGAGAASASVSV%SO
Henrik Lundqvist 59 3393 27 23 140 2.48 1718 1578 .919 2


Questions to Answer

  1. Do emotions actually spill over today in the aftermath of the Gaborik incident, or do the Rangers realize that they should've done something weeks ago and that the statute of limitations is clearly up on this 'offense'?
  2. Can Henrik Lundqvist keep his team in this game today?
  3. All joking about the Rangers impotence aside, their top line of Gaborik, Jokinen and Prospal can actually put some pucks in the net. Can the Flyers successfully shut them down?
  4. Will Carcillo fight Shelley?
  5. Can Michael Leighton duplicate his stellar Saturday performance?

Today's game is on CSN Philly and 610 WIP. New York sucks. Join us here for the in-game discussion, and as always, LET'S GO FLYERS!

I got the DVR going for this one while I’m doing school work and now I’ve spoiled the fact that I’m going to be watching it later without knowing what’s going on.

Good for Briere, though. At least he’s bringing that cost per goal of his down a bit.

Anyway, I really hope someone lights up Avery in the neutral zone or squares off with him and blasts him good.

by j reed on Mar 14, 2010 3:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

A strike would ultimately kill MLS, and perhaps the concept of professional soccer in America. But I do see where the players are coming from. At the same time, to have even limited free agency might require that MLS’ entire organizational structure be changed. Cause right now all the teams are technically owned by the MLS and contracts signed with and paid for by the MLS, etc. That structure is what has allowed MLS to survive until now, but I do think it’s time for the training wheels to come off, so to speak. Dunno if all that change can be finalized and accomplished in a week or so though.

Leighton is playing! Laavy needs a bitch slap. A butterfly goalie slams the head of his femur
" into the cup of his hip joint with force akin to an Olympic weightlifter performing a clean and jerk, this according to research by McGill University " This won’t necessarily tear the labrum unless your one of the 10-12 % of the pop. who has an oblated sphere for the head of the femur, but nonetheless it can still can cause other problems….that’s a lot of force on the hip which butterfliers don’t feel until it something bad happens because there’s no nerve ending in the labrum. Leighton needs rest even if he feels great. Were not in the play-offs. Boucher should be in goal, this why we have a back-up.

Here’s a link…I was going to do a fan post with the link if that’s okay. As someone who suffers from idiopathetic dibilitating, life altering hip condition I think it’s important to know esp. if your a goalie or have a kid whose a goalie. I’m wondering if my stituation is similar as the defective femur head in lieu of sports injuries is a recent discovery. But hip issues are important in hockey in general because of the shearing forces your hips undergo to when skating.

Seriously

They’re going to drive Leighton right into the ground. I hope I’m wrong here, but at this rate they’ll ride him right into the ground and then when the playoffs come around and there are mistakes made and goals given up everyone will be all over him. If that happens, they should be all over Laavy for not being smart with his goalies.

The fact that he barely played to start the season helps though.

Kinda like what Pedro said though. He said he’d be peaking at just the right time, but two starts later in the season where he pitched for 8 innings or whatever really tired him and he never recovered.

by Ben Feldman on Mar 14, 2010 3:37 PM EDT up reply actions  

I dont think its wise to treat him like a rented mule
However even if we are overworking him I feel better with him and Boosh as backup than the situation we were in last year.

by Prometheus74 on Mar 14, 2010 3:40 PM EDT up reply actions  

Travis….I totally dig that, but everyone’s body has their limits. On top of that, what does that say the organization feels about what they have in Boosh? Boosh is going to have jump in and steal a few for us down the stretch (at least common sense would say that would be the case). Leighton will need some rest eventually and if he doesn’t get it, we’ll have played with fire when it comes to our goaltending in the playoffs.

by flyerboom_6 on Mar 14, 2010 3:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

No, I totally agree with you. I’m mostly playing devil’s advocate.

Although I would start Leighton today and probably start Boosh against Nashville or Dallas.

You had me going there for a second, dude. If Boosh gets some starts over the next 15 games, that should be good. There are some games against Atlanta and the Islanders that would be good spots to put him in too.
