Game 56, Discussion Thread: Philadelphia Flyers at Detroit Red Wings
Philadelphia Flyers at Detroit Red Wings, Feb 12, 2012 7:30 PM EST


Philadelphia Flyers (31-17-7, 69 pts) at Detroit Red Wings (37-17-2, 76 pts)
7:30 p.m. tonight at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan
Catch the action on NBC Sports Network, TSN2 and 94 WIP
[Game Preview] - [Detroit Perspective]
Tonight's goaltenders:
Not sure on lineups with Eric Wellwood's insertion into the mix for the injured Jake Voracek.
Questions to Answer
- Joey MacDonald has been good for the Wings in his limited action, but he's not the greatest goalie in the world. It could be perceived as a weakness for Detroit. Can the Flyers exploit?
- Special teams were the Achilles heel on Saturday. Better in both departments tonight?
- How many times is "history" mentioned during the NBCSN broadcast? Relying on somebody to keep track here.
- Kimmo Timonen talked about the lack of effort against the Rangers. Do they appear a bit more in gear for this one?
- Wayne Simmonds has been playing really well lately. The Flyers can especially use him on the power play tonight, but in general, can he keep up his nice stretch, maybe grab himself a goal?
Go Flyers.

Does anyone besides me just not care if they win/lose tonight? I mean say they win 5-2… We can then say “Hey, we just beat one of the best teams in the league”. But in the end, who really gives a damn if we can’t make it out of our own conference.
Almost every other year I’ve watched the Flyers I’ve always had this eternal hope that come playoffs, we’d be a team to reckon with. This year, for one of the very few times, I feel that we really have no chance, save for a Pronger miracle comeback…

yeah I like that there’s no ‘best team in the league’ hype like last year. I like being underdogs.
It's a hockey, you know. it's only... it's only game. Why you heff to be mad?
I really don’t like the word underdog when referring to the Flyers.

I’m sort of with FFIC that I don’t really want to hear it until they get to 24, since ours stopped at 20 as the last game of the regular season. I was thinking about saying something earlier, but it had already wound down.
But even still; our overall home record that year was 36-2-2. Even if the streak continues, they have a lot more games to go before they match the level of domination we had over the course of that whole season.

Hey before the game starts I have to shamelessly plug a good friend of mines new restaurant. If any one knows Lafayette Hill PA you know From The Boot. And that is my good friend. He just opened a new location in blue bell PA on 202. He has another location in ambler as well. But the food is second to none.

The problem with this team is clearly lack of a stud defender. Once u get that guy filling Prongers minutes all the pressure comes off Carle, Mez, Coburn. This will also make Bob/Bryz that much better. We have plenty of up and coming young offensive talent. Scoots, Schenn, Simmonds, G, we’ll be fine with scoring.

yeah, this wasn’t ever meant to be a “win it all” year for you was it? (I mean anything is possible and really once you are in the playoffs anyone can technically win it with some luck) But after your moves in the off-season this is kind of a mini build year or was supposed to be? Or am I wrong?

Some logical people will agree it’s a rebuild type year. Some others…not so much. Lots of these people also believe you can win the Stanley Cup every year.

well technically it is possible – but highly unlikely, particularly in the post lock out NHL. You just won’t see the big dynasties anymore because there is a lot more parity in the league and you cannot just buy a cup anymore – where technically you could buy yourself a damn good chance of one every year before if you were willing to spend the money
Go Canucks Go!
Agreed, and the Flyers typically do. Then they get stuck in cap hell, like now and can’t do things they many want/need to. But some people don’t care.

yep the cap has enforced parity in the league (or at least parity among teams that spend to (or close to) the cap for the most part. And I kind of like that you cannot just buy a cup anymore in the post lock out NHL
but I also understand the pain of seeing your team so close and expecting great things for a while after that (oh boy do I understand that :P)
but it isn’t the same team – doesn’t mean you guys can’t still win though but I do understand some fans not getting that you can’t always repeat
Go Canucks Go!
after letting Richie and Carter go yes you would be right, but most people want the cup now given how close we came two years ago…

No. I just think trading all that young talent for a couple months of a top tier defender is completely stupid.
I’d entertain the idea of Gleason, only because (relatively) speaking, I believe he can be had for cheap. How cheap? I do not know.

well, and PHO isn’t too far off of PST
I wouldn’t have a problem with it, we tend to like the SoCal road trips (lots of fans follow the team when they play there) and I could see a couple good rivalries come out of it. But who do you throw into the NW to replace us?
I didn’t mind the layout of teams in the realignment proposal actually (and I think we were grouped with the california teams then)
we are kind of geographically between most teams in the Pac and NW divisions so it is a tough call
Go Canucks Go!
I’d replace them with Winnipeg, if they’d go with the 6 division format. If it does to 4 conferences, then it becomes pretty easy to put them in the “Pacific” conference.

At the beginning of the season and again at the end, Phoenix is basically in the same time zone anyway, aren’t they? I mean since they don’t observe daylight savings time and all that.

I wonder if they cheered for Max Talbot.

I guess if I have to be named after a drunk driver, being named Pelle isn't so bad.

Eh, up and down. Some good chances both ways, probably a bit more for them. Not very good clearing in front by our guys. PPG for them, goal on an awful puckhandling job by their goalie, who seems like he can be beat.

Wings playing better. We got a gift goal from Ronald McDonalds’.

Oh well, I’ll take 1-1 after that sorry ass start. Flyers picked it up but the Wings are clearly outplaying us.
Shots are even, at least. I’m not overly concerned.

Yeah, we’re not getting dominated. At least I can now see them pulling out a win, so something changed after the first 8 minutes

So, anyone want to explain to me why our PK has looked like the Maple Leafs during the beginning of the year lately?

There are no explanations — ever — for play after the ASG.

Can we throw Matt Carle into any trade we make?? He has looked awful

I see him being resigned, unless they can convince Suter to come to Philly.

Am I ever going to post a positive statement? Maybe. Someday.

Simmonds making strong case to be the next Flyer that I sneak into their bedroom and watch them while they sleep.
