Game 58, Discussion Thread: Pittsburgh Penguins at Philadelphia Flyers

Pittsburgh Penguins at Philadelphia Flyers, Feb 18, 2012 1:00 PM EST

Pens_blue_medium Flyers_orange_medium

Pittsburgh Penguins (32-20-5, 69 pts) at Philadelphia Flyers (32-18-7, 71 pts)

1 p.m. today at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia

Catch the action on CSN, ROOT Sports, NHL Network and 94WIP

[Game Preview] - [Pittsburgh Perspective]

Today's goaltenders: Marc-Andre Fleury vs. Ilya Bryzgalov.

Star-divide

James van Riemsdyk, Jaromir Jagr and Danny Briere will all play today. Tom Sestito is injured, Zac Rinaldo is still suspende. Lots of changes.

Questions to Answer

  1. It's one thing to score seven goals against the Sabres. But is the offense there today against the Pens?
  2. Can the Flyers stop Evgeni Malkin?
  3. Speaking of, Orange Jesus is just two points behind Malkin for the points lead. How's that race look at the end of the day?
  4. How does Nick Grossman look?
  5. What about JvR... and Briere... and Jagr?
  6. Over/under on stupid Crosby sucks chants set at 5. So, over or under?

Go Flyers.

Under, one big one in the beginning, and rando small ones about throughout.

I’m pumped for this game, psyched to see everyone back, and Grossman added in. Wasn’t sure if they’d scratch Gus or MAB, but maybe the 2 will perhaps split some time to see how the pairs line up with Grossman in now.

Anyway…LET’S GO FLYERS!!!!

STUCK AT WORK AGAIN!!!!

1) Grossman is the second coming of Bundy, and negates Malkin entirely.
2) Giroux gets one assist on the day, but his linemates each score a goal (again).
3) See #1 above. Otherwise, one or two gaffes, but we gloss over them as ‘new-team-nervousness’.
4) JVR and Briere don’t dress. Jagr does, but plays minimal minutes just to get the Pens annoyed.
5) Duh. Over.

Being in DC I haven’t gotten a chance to watch a lot of games the last two weeks, but I wanted to ask what people thought about the decision to drop Gus and keep MAB following the Grossman acquisition.

I think MAB has been making good strides. Still making the occasional boneheaded rookie mistake, but I watched him a lot last game and he made some good solid decisions, body position and skating out of pressure to make a good pass. I’m hopeful he’s going to be a solid 6/7.

When i saw you mention this I thought they had just posted an old video of some of their highlights. But its another one. A new one. A guy skating away only to be hooked back then pounded as he turtled. Was that Nikolai Zherdev coming to the rescue?. A new low. The club is an embarrasment to the sport. And that Mirasty is something else entirely.

Looking forward to the game but a little concerned. I may be incorrect but I believe the Flyers record before the carnival is bad. I don’t know the actual stats but it just seems as they lose before carnival.

by everybodyhitswoohoo on Feb 18, 2012 12:51 PM EST up reply actions  

He’s not as ‘fancypants’ as Briere, that’s for damn sure. But he ain’t exactly Simmonds or Hartnell either. There’s no real ‘toughness’ on that line. Read’s no pushover, but he’s not intimidating anyone either – nor can he park in the crease and hang out waiting for Jagr to fend off two defenders before passing to Briere hiding behind the net.

No I live in Oregon

I have both NBA League Pass & NHL Center Ice on DirecTV but since it doesn’t carry CSNPhilly I always get the other teams broadcast & when it comes to the NHL I hate the Pens broadcast team the most(NBA it’s the Celtics) I’m extra happy today
