This is the open game thread.
Get Tampa Bay reaction at Raw Charge
Oh, right. There's a hockey game tonight.
After two weeks off, the Flyers will resume the NHL schedule this evening with a matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Entering the all-star break, the Flyers had won four straight, but obviously tonight's game almost has to be treated like a season opener of sorts, with no momentum or anything of the sort to lean against.
But wins are just as important now as they were before the break, and with a treacherous month of March ahead before a short April and the beginning of the playoffs, now is the time for the Flyers to kick into full gear.
They're 3-0 against the Lightning this season, outscoring them 15-5 in those games. Tampa Bay enters the game just five points behind the sixth place Flyers though, so this is a big game for them as they get underway for the first time after the break as well.
Ryan Parent will replace the injured Oskars Bartulis in the lineup tonight. Parent is returning from injury himself. In the Flyers crease, it'll once again be Michael Leighton. Can Leights continue his hot play after two weeks off? We'll find out tonight.
Flyers hockey is back!
After the jump, questions to answer this evening, a look at the starting lineups and our in-game discussion thread.
Flyers Line Combinations
Gagne - Richards - Carcillo
Hartnell - Carter - Briere
JVR - Giroux - Asham
Powe - Betts - Laperriere
Pronger - Carle
Timonen - Krajicek
Parent - Coburn
Tampa Line Combinations
Downie - Stamkos - St. Louis
Tanguay - Lecavalier - Bochenski
Malone - Thompson - Halpern
Veilleux - Konopka - Foster
Lundin - Ohlund
Smaby - Hedman
Walker - Meszaros
Starting Goaltenders
Questions To Answer
- Can the Flyers offense keep up the hot streak they were on before the Olympic break?
- Do Mike Richards and Chris Pronger show any extra jump after winning gold medals?
- How does Lukas Krajicek perform against his old team?
- How does Ryan Parent look in his first game back?
- Can Michael Leighton keep up his success after two weeks off?

So that the entire article doesn’t clog up the front page.
You want enough of the article above the jump for a reader to decide if he’s interested in the article, then direct them to a different page for the conclusion.
The Cote article yesterday didn’t use a jump, and I found it really fucking annoying. Not sure if you did, but look at that article and you’ll at least see the difference.
So when the “jump” is in there only what’s above it gets in the main page of the site? That makes really good sense. Thanks for the answer.
That’s exactly the reason. Don’t want to clutter up the front page too much, really.
FYI, we added the jump to that Cote post later on in the day yesterday

Not sure if you want to have trade discussion in here or not, but Ponikarovsky is being held out of tonight’s lineup by Toronto, due to trade.

wow announcer, your bias is showing.
"He told me, 'Keep your head up.' I didn't realize he meant the whole season."
personally i wouldn’t have taken either of them, but from the lame replay that they showed, it looked like stamkos got his stick and gloves in powe’s face before they hit the glass. probably not enough to warrant a call, but i’ve seen weaker called.
"He told me, 'Keep your head up.' I didn't realize he meant the whole season."
I try not to listen to the Vs. people.
"NO HONOR"
"We will steal the show, jolly Rogers go, we are wolves of the sea."
I respect that method, but I gotta listen to something, might as well be their commentary. And he made his point that POWE was the one that did the wrongdoing, and that Stamkos was free from any blame, and then like twenty seconds later “that….that’s just a bad call. they got that one wrong.” or something of that sort. It’s like dude, shut up and call the game and save your bias for when you’re not doing national games.
"He told me, 'Keep your head up.' I didn't realize he meant the whole season."
I’m sorry Rick Peckham, but these teams do not have a history. Yes, they had an epic playoff series in 2004. Then there was the lockout. That’s about it in terms of significance.
But Rick Tocchet is their coach! And Steve Downie plays for them! And we have… Lukas Kracjicek!

From SanFilippo (Who I like a lot):
Just spoke to a flyers source who said there is “no shot” at them trading for roloson because of salary constraints. So ignore that rumor.
How is that possible?? This “source” is really, really misinformed. Roloson has a $2.5 mil hit. The Flyers created ~$2.6 mil with Emery, Syvret, Cote moves. Since I’m not on Twitter, I can’t call him out on this.
Broad Street Hockey - Makin' it look mean since 1967.
Except then they’d have literally no room and like last year would have to sign players to tryout contracts instead of calling someone up.
Err, anyway, maybe the source meant that they’re not interested in losing the little flexibility they have.
But if they got Roloson, that makes Boucher expendable – creating $.925 million – and the team has some space already (no idea, probably miniscule).

@AnthonySan37 Your source said there’s no shot at Roloson because of cap $$, but his cap hit is 2.5 mil & the Flyers are ~2.6 mil under cap?
http://twitter.com/AnthonySan37/status/9903975144
@BroadStHockey true, but they are trying to fill other needs too, they need to do all they need within that $2.6 mil limit.
Solid point, I suppose.

Although there would likely be extra space since they’d probably have to give up a roster player in the trade since we have no picks/prospects. Then Boucher comes off. They could make it work.

by Travis Hughes on Mar 2, 2010 9:24 PM EST up reply actions
Yeah. He has a point, but any incoming goalie takes Boucher’s $.9 mil off, and then any other need they have will either require a roster player being traded or losing a spot – thus being waiver.

But he was the one in the two-on-one, tried to break up the pass the only way he could and was on his stomach. At that point, he was out of the play. Gagne needed to do what Timonen did at least, actually stop the pass at best.

I wouldn’t say slapping the goalie in the face with your stick necessarily a “weak” call. Typical Hartnell moronics.
Hope you saw the replay.
I would say it less typical hartnell stupidity and more incidental contact. but whether or not hartnell’s intentions were pure, nitty obviously dived, and the ref had to make the call. i’m not really as bitter over that one (either at the refs or at hartnell) as i usually am on hartnell goalie interference calls.

yeah….at 197, he’s probably headed to 200+ with this 5 minute major. sigh.
"He told me, 'Keep your head up.' I didn't realize he meant the whole season."
Remember that odd situation the last game or two before the break when there was a clear fight with both players dropping the gloves, but they only got two each for roughing?
Do we have stats kept for chasing goalies? Because we’re out of control on that front.

Our offense is either chasing goalies or being shutout by a rookie making his first career start.

Nah, the Jewish population in Florida would react much more strongly against such a statement than the community in Montreal.

Has Boucher been giving the starting position of bench door opener guy?

But they’re not in the 3 seed anymore right? Didn’t Ottawa knock them down?

We can’t be THAT far back from 4th theoretically, I mean we have a freaking cake schedule down the stretch.

2. carcillo
3. giroux

No surprise, though. No respect for Carcillo, and they gave the second star to Gagne, who was quite good, but I feel like he didn’t bring half of what Carcillo did.
"He told me, 'Keep your head up.' I didn't realize he meant the whole season."
Maybe they just went straight up by the point totals tonight? 4 for Richie and 3 each for Gags and Giroux. I’m not saying it’s right, I’m just wondering if that was their thought process

Since Luongo finished out the tournament, my guess is Brodeur will be in goal… does anybody know? San Jose might be able to get him rattled again
by DragonGirl0583 on Mar 2, 2010 10:17 PM EST up reply actions
unless Parise plays with the same post olympic zeal that richie has…but that could also be the Tampa Effect….San Jose is a wee bit better
I think I might be willing go farther than a “wee bit” better, depending on how their players come back from break. I just had an inkling that if Brodeur comes in thinking he’s got himself back together and he’s ready to prove the critics wrong, San Jose might end up shattering him completely.

Ah, it’s not your sarcasm I misunderstood, I thought you were trying to say the Sharks were a wee bit better than the Devils. my bad.
by DragonGirl0583 on Mar 2, 2010 10:35 PM EST up reply actions
Oy, I don’t even think I made sense there…. I was trying to say “I thought you were comparing the Sharks and Devils, not the Sharks and Lightning”, but I don’t think it came out right. Sorry, I’m like a zombie today.

Does anyone keep stats for powerplay goals per 2 minutes or anything like that? I hate how you get credited with a full PP when it lasts 15 seconds. It slants the percentage and doesn’t give an accurate portrayal….

haha, yeah there is. But the Flyers score 0.26 goals for every 2 minutes they’re on the 5-on-4 PP, good for 4th in the league. They also score 0.44 goals per minute on the 5-on-3 PP, good for 7th in the league.

Well, that jives with our ranking with the percentage, so maybe it evens out for all teams…just seems like there should be a better way to show it than what they use currently.
I agree. But there is also a better way to give out the Cy Young than just Win-Loss and ERA too…
In other words, there’s always a better way, but don’t hold your breath for it to catch on.

Good observations too. Like the NJ PP has 5 forwards, and what not.

Awesome game tonight, couldn’t have asked for a better way to come back from the break.
Random question, my friends band is thinking about making a flyers fight shirt with there band name on it, does anyone know where to get some decent quality pictures at on the internet… oh and for free.

And now they’ve changed the goal back…. As noticed & tweeted by Panotch (& subsequently doubled check by me on the Flyer’s official recap), the goal that was Gagne’s but changed to Giroux’s is now Gagne’s again.
