Questions to Answer

  1. Can the Flyers get back to their game -- as in, no "lazy hockey" -- in such an important game? 
  2. Similarly, does being on the road help them simplify the game and help them stop the stupid turnovers/bad breakouts?
  3. Sergei Bobrovsky has been stellar in Pittsburgh this year. Does that continue?
  4. The Versteeg-Richie-JvR line was the Flyers' best against Boston. Can they keep that going?
  5. The Penguins were very sound defensively against the Flyers last week. They controlled the pace of the game from start to finish. Can the Flyers steal that from them and dictate the flow tonight?

Go Flyers.

Jody Shelley was in the Rangers’ lineup for games 81-82 last year, and I doubt it’s because they thought he’d score two goals.

It seems like last year, teams thought they needed goons to beat the Flyers and this year they don’t.

Well, I was answering the claim that the Penguins benched their goons because they knew it would help get points — the Rangers were a lot more desperate last year and still played theirs.

But also…I have a hard time believing that Riley Cote was the difference between calling up an AHL goon to face last year’s Flyers and benching a goon with 61 games played this year.

I honestly haven’t noticed the AHL goon phenomenon this year even when Shelley was healthy.

Without the Betteman point, they wouldn’t be near us. Both they and their opponents have been playing for the charity point, then 5 minutes of actual hockey. The Pens know they usually have the better goalie so they don’t even get aggressive in OT. The Rangers did it to us last year, as you recall. The difference in the Rangers had one game, the Pens have had two months.

No, but if the unspoken talking point of not having the desperation to play at a higher level than Boston is the truth, you would hope that playing in Pittsburgh would sort of be a fix (if temporary) to that issue, right?

Well my TV is HD, but Comcast doesn’t have HD in any of their sports packages (baseball, hockey) in my area.

So when they’re on NBC or Versus I have it in HD…but usually, no.
