Game 56, Discussion Thread: Philadelphia Flyers at Detroit Red Wings

Philadelphia Flyers at Detroit Red Wings, Feb 12, 2012 7:30 PM EST


Flyers_orange_mediumWings_medium

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:


GP MIN W L OTL GA GAA SA SV SV% SO
Sergei Bobrovsky 22 1164 12 6 4 55 2.84 580 525 .905 0


GP MIN W L OTL GA GAA SA SV SV% SO
Joey MacDonald 4 229 2 1 1 6 1.57 92 86 .935 0

Star-divide

Not sure on lineups with Eric Wellwood's insertion into the mix for the injured Jake Voracek.

Questions to Answer

  1. 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?
  2. Special teams were the Achilles heel on Saturday. Better in both departments tonight?
  3. How many times is "history" mentioned during the NBCSN broadcast? Relying on somebody to keep track here.
  4. Kimmo Timonen talked about the lack of effort against the Rangers. Do they appear a bit more in gear for this one?
  5. 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…

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.

The Red Wings are petitioning the NHL to start counting shootout goals as part of regular goal statistics. Then they will insist the NHL ignore any differences between then and now. It’s part of their campaign to quadruple their representatives in the Hall of Fame.

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.

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

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)

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)
