Get the Toronto perspective at Pension Plan Puppets
The Flyers are closer to clinching than you think. In fact, if the cards fall right, they can clinch tomorrow. As in Wednesday. I was getting ready to do the heavy lifting on the numbers side of things, just to show how important tonight's game will be. But then, Frank Seravalli's blog came across the Twitters, with all of the pertinent facts already included.
Sounds good to me (it's a little warm in this room anyway).
-A Flyers win and Rangers loss tonight would push Philadelphia’s magic number down to two points with two games remaining. A Montreal loss would also move the Flyers up to sixth place.
-A Flyers loss and a Rangers win would keep the Flyers’ magic number at six points with just two games remaining, meaning the Flyers would need to sweep both games against New York this weekend – with at least one of the wins coming in regulation – to qualify for the postseason.
Good stuff, Frank. I'm sure it's not as hot in that Toronto hotel, either.
So, yeah: tonight's game is really, really important. We can't worry about what the Rangers or Canadiens are doing tonight, because ultimately, none of it matters if the Flyers don't win. Our team holds their destiny in their hands, so that's all we can worry about. But, either way, go Sabres and Islanders.
Toronto is a terrible team and I think that's something we can all agree on. But either way, they are an NHL team and they are playing with nothing to lose right now. The Flyers will need to play with the same urgency they displayed against Detroit on Sunday and, to an extent, against Montreal last Friday, if they want to win.
After all, this is playoff hockey right now. Kinda cute that Toronto gets to play in quasi-playoff hockey, too.
Colton Orr sucks. After the jump, questions with answers, lineups and our in-game discussion.
Flyers Line Combinations
van Riemsdyk – Richards – Giroux
Gagne – Briere – Leino
Hartnell – Powe – Asham
Carcillo – Laperriere – Betts
Pronger - Carle
Timonen - Krajicek
Parent - Coburn
Toronto Line Combinations
Kulemin - Grabovski - Kessel
Stalberg - Bozak - Hanson
Mitchell - Irwin - Caputi
Sjostrom - Wallin - Orr
Beauchemin - Phaneuf
Kaberle - Schenn
Gunnarsson - Exelby
Starting Goaltenders
Questions to Answer
- Intensity. Is it there?
- The Flyers played a very sound defensive game on Sunday against Detroit. Can they repeat the feat?
- The Leafs have been playing solid hockey of late. The Flyers don't let them outwork them, right?
- Does Carcillo display restraint with Leafs' resident goon Colton Orr?
- Are the Flyers still in playoff position by the end of the night? Better: are the Flyers in sixth by the end of the night?
Tonight's game is on The Comcast Network. If you have Verizon or satellite, you can blame that joke of a basketball team that shares our home with us. Ridiculous, right? It's a playoff race, for eff's sake. Whatever. Join Bundy and Tim on WIP, if you have to, or follow along with us here as we discuss tonight's game. LET'S GO FLYERS!

Wow, what were the chances that all the teams we needed to win, did? Plus, the Caps lead the Pens, which I know you might not be too happy about but it helps our chances of missing the Penguins in the Playoffs which is good.

In my experience, Rogers Sportsnet shows only one of two types of programming: hockey and poker. So they have to hype up that 1/2 of their programming.
I think they show baseball too, don’t they?
by DragonGirl0583 on Apr 6, 2010 8:06 PM EDT up reply actions
Well, it’s probably a casualty of them having 1 team of their own and the current state of that team. I don’t think Toronto is the worst baseball town in North America or anything yet, but the product last summer wasn’t too great. When the Red Sox are in town, Doc is pitching, your stadium is not quite half full, and it appears that way more than half (maybe 75%) of the people in the building are rooting for the Red Sox, it’s not really a good day. Now they’re starting the season without Doc, so I’m not thinking that they’re worked up for opening day this year.

I don’t live in PA so I only get to see the Flyers when they are on NESN or Versus so barely anything without a popular channel like ESPN. They said when hockey was on ESPN it had a bigger nightly viewing than the NBA. Then the lockout happened.

Just curious, it said in the game preview that if we lose tonight, and the Rangers win, we would need to sweep the series with them. Why is that? If that happens tonight, we would be tied in points, and even if we split the series and stayed tied, don’t we have the tie-breaker with more wins? Or is it head to head points first?
I think that’s to guarantee a spot.

The way I understand it the number of Flyers wins and the number of Rangers losses to end the season must equal 3. The Flyers beating the Rangers would count twice as a Flyers win and a Rangers loss. Once that number gets to 3, we are in. However, I am not sure if we can still get in even if that number does not equal 3 by the end of the year.

Really? West was arguably the MVP of that team for a good 5 years. He is probably one of the two best running backs in Eagles history.
None of the teams in this town retire numbers that easily though, I don’t think any of them will happen.
by DragonGirl0583 on Apr 6, 2010 8:38 PM EDT up reply actions
I like that it’s rare that numbers are retired here but for guys like McNabb and Dawkins and to a lesser extent Westbrook, those guys were the hearts and souls of a team that was at the top of the NFL for a decade. They will get some love.
But we’re talking about a team where 7 numbers have been retired total on a team that’s been around for what, 70 years+? (Depends on how you count). No way do 3 get retired from the same era.
by DragonGirl0583 on Apr 6, 2010 8:44 PM EDT up reply actions
True but when was the team ever as good as it was for as long of a period as it was? Never. I think some special consideration has to be made for that. But who knows.
But it extends to other sports too, right? They Eagles have a lot at 7 comparatively, when you look at 4 for the Flyers and 5 (or 7, depending) for the Phillies. I know we’d like to see it happen, but at most I’d say one of them does.
by DragonGirl0583 on Apr 6, 2010 8:51 PM EDT up reply actions
You think? I can see maybe Burrell, Utley and Rollins but that’s it. Howard will be gone in about a year. Hamels has an outside chance if he can put together a string of solid seasons and we have no idea what to really expect out of their farm system yet.
I don’t think Burrell.
I think Utley and Rollins are all but locked up. If Howard stays in town, he’s a lock.
If Holliday carries them to a series in the next four years, I think he gets one. In which case,I think Hamels could very easily get one, too (he was the World Series MVP, remember, and I’m assuming he’ll be a big contributor for them to win again).
I think victorino and chooch both have a chance to earn one.
I don’t think its likely to happen, but I think Lidge is in the conversation based on his perfect season, too.
But they had a run of several years where they were high profile from about 76 – 83, and still only 2 guys got retired from that era. I don’t expect any of these teams (Phils, Flyers, or Eagles) to start handing them out like candy and suddenly doubling the number they’ve given out so far.
by DragonGirl0583 on Apr 6, 2010 9:03 PM EDT up reply actions
Howard won’t be staying in town though, he will be out sooner rather than later.
I agree about Hamels, not sure on Halladay because then at most he would have 4 years here…not sure you can retire his number and not Burrell who spent 8 years here.
Victorino I could see depending on how he does for the next few years but I don’t see Chooch or Lidge getting their numbers retired here.
I think Halladay will retire a Philliie. He wants to be here, He’s made more than enough money, thats what I think happens. If he plays six years here, and three of them he is the best pitcher in the league, and wins a World Series…
Chooch I think has a better chance than Vic because of his clutch playoff performance.
Of the five numbers the Phillies have retired, every single one of them is in the Baseball Hall of Fame. The only name on the wall that isn’t in the HOF is Chuck Klein.
Unless any of those get inducted into the Hall of Fame, nobody is a “lock”.
Broad Street Hockey - Makin' it look mean since 1967.
by Geoff Detweiler on Apr 6, 2010 9:11 PM EDT up reply actions
Utley and Rollins are both HOF locks. Well Utley if he puts up about 3 more years at what he has done. Rollins is pretty much in as is, same with Halladay.
Rollins is not at all a lock. If Utley keeps this up for 5-10 more years, he’s a “likely”. But as of now, no way is he a lock either.
Halladay, quite possibly. But why would the Phillies retire his number? His HOF resume came in Toronto.

I don’t think either one is a hall of fame lock.
But they’re both locks to get their numbers retired.
ok, so:
A) None are HOF locks;
B) The Phillies only retire numbers of the HOF players;
means:
C) These are not at all locks.
Seriously, this is pretty standard “Socrates is a man…” stuff.

Your right that it’s 5 retired numbers not including 42, but they have 2 stylized P’s retired for players from before numbers were worn, which is where the “or 7” part came in because it depending on what you counted. But even with 7 it’s still very few for that long of a history.

I agree. And like I said, I am not a fan of 5, or Reid. In fact I despise Reid and I will refute until the day I die that McNabb was successful in spite of Reid and not because of him. McNabb is not and never was a West Coast Quarterback and yet he did well. If Reid had built an offense around a QB instead of trying to build a QB around an offense then I bet they would have won a ring.
I actually hope McNabb wins a title so people can see the fraud that Reid is.
Oh the clock is counting down on Reid, you can bet on that. Great personnel guy, knowing when to cut and so on. But not a good xxx and ooo’s guy
AND he got a penalty??? AAAAAAGHHHH

Huh. Friday’s game against the Rangers is on WYSP on the radio because the Sixers are on WIP and the Phillies on 1210. Rare that you have all three in action at once.
Well, technically they did move to the most high-powered station, so wouldn’t we be more angry if the Sixers got WYSP and the Flyers were on 610?
