Going to the game tonight. Got a Carbomb sign, BOOSH letters for everyone to hold and I’ll be wearing my Hartnell wig. CSN better put us on TV!

Let’s Go Flyers!

I think Boruk put it best yesterday. He said on Twitter that, with Kovalchuk’s playoff record, he’s not in the position to be guaranteeing anything.

perspective on the gagne/carter situation:

not saying the loss of these won’t hurt the flyers chances. it does. but the flyers have beaten the devils before without either one*

*flyers have not played the devils without both of them this year. still worth reading, tho’

Leino’s last really good game was against NJ, for what it’s worth.

Anyone else find it odd that after all 8 series went 1-1 at one point now we have all 4 series in the East at 3-1 and all of the series in the West at 2-2, except for Chicago/Nashville whom I still can not figure out why they are a game behind everyone. Though I am thinking Chicago wins tonight to keep it all kosher.

Seriously, anyone want to go tonight? We might have two extras.

Just read on twitter that Laliberte is playing on the first line with Richards and Carcillo.

was much more badass (if your a devils fan)

When I asked him today, Kovalchuk said he isn’t thinking about the fact that this could be his last game in a Devils sweater.

    “No. Because we’re going to win tomorrow,” he said.

I dispute a lot on this list, but it’s nice to see the Caps so well represented. I assume Varlamov is off because he’s played too many NHL games. Eakin probably deserves a look but it’s a competitive list for sure so I can’t complain too much. Carlson should be higher, Filatov and Hodgson should be lower. I just don’t see how Carlson falls that far below Pietrangelo. They have similar size and styles (though JC is more physical) and notwithstanding the WJC top-D award Carlson was just as good if not better in the WJC. Also, Carlson is the same age, a later bloomer, and further ahead on the curve than Pietrangelo is. Seems like the top of that list is very Canadian heavy after Filatov (and even after the top there are some over-valued CHL boys). Hodgson isn’t getting knocked enough for his injury holdups and Schenn is a nice player but he doesn’t have that same offensive upside as the other top prospects on that list. I also think De Haan was dreadful in the WJC (Canada basically benched him except on the PP) and is no way deserving of being that high.
