[Game Preview] - [Toronto Perspective]

Stat boxes are giving me trouble again but it's Sergei Bobrovsky vs. James Reimer tonight.

Star-divide

Flyers Line Combinations

Hartnell - Giroux - Jagr
Read - Briere - Voracek
Talbot - Schenn - Simmonds
Rinaldo - Couturier - Sestito

Timonen - Coburn
Carle - Bourdon
Gustafsson - Meszaros

Questions to Answer

  1. How many "Suck it, Phaneuf!" signs in the crowd?
  2. James Reimer isn't gonna be really good like Evgeni Nabokov was the other night, right?
  3. Bob hasn't played in a while. How's he look?
  4. How are Jason Bacashihua's door opening skills?
  5. Claude Giroux is going to score tonight. That's not a question, but whatever.

Go Flyers.

For some reason I am interested in watching this game tonight. I want to see Bob bounce back from the mess he left on Saturday. And Toronto is a decent team with speed and a responsible game plan. There is no distractions to this match up just hockey.

I doubt you’ll see many fireworks tonight. Toronto has moved their roster into the new NHL direction. They are a pretty decent team and Reimer can send the Flyers into as much frustration as Nabakov. That said I am always ready for a blood bath.

The numbahs:

In 2011, the Leaves were 87/128 (72.3%) on the PK, with Reimer giving up 22 goals on 96 shots (77.1% Sv%).
In 2012, the Leaves haven’t given up a PK goal yet, and Reimer is 10/10.

Let’s party like it’s 2011.

by Eric T. on Feb 9, 2012 5:29 PM EST up reply actions  

1. That really is absurd. Also, only 10 shots against on the PK? That’s nuts.
2. Leaves or Leafs?

by everybodyhitswoohoo on Feb 9, 2012 5:31 PM EST up reply actions  

Reimer’s only played four games in 2012, and a big part of why the Leaves’ PK is perfect is that they’ve been shorthanded very few times.

And trying to explain why I say Leaves is hard. I mean, “Leafs” is stupid, so I should be calling them Leafs to mock them, but since they call themselves that, instead I have to call them Leaves so people will notice that Leafs is stupid? Augh.

I’ve always failed to see the fascination with those shirts.

So basically someone ripped off the “ill” part from the Phillies and plastered it on T-shirts, basically making profits off someone elses design?

Yes, Barack is catholic

by sophiejo on Feb 9, 2012 5:50 PM EST up reply actions  

My assumption is that it’s about the mandate that the insurance policies of religious schools and hospitals have to cover birth control for their employees, which the Catholic Church has been protesting. But it wasn’t quite clear; it could also have been about the court’s decision to strike down California’s ban on gay marriage, or perhaps something else.

Yeah, this is one of those odd situations where the political discussion is actually hockey related.

by DrunkHockeyFan on Feb 9, 2012 6:12 PM EST up reply actions  

i thought he was arguing more along the lines of government legislating something against religious teaching, which we all know is covered by “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof” his argument at least in my understanding is they cant exercise their religion because a certain part can’t be included.

my question is what happens if the catholic church does wha they have threatened and shuts down all hospitals etc that they manage?

this post is in no way agreeing with nor disagreeing with anything political

Great way to Fight Phaneuf just hold on so he can’t hit you.

Seeing as I’m 99% sure that’s what Hartnell said after he tapped Phaneuf, I think his should win.

Leave it to Hartnell to make someone carry a grudge from the All-Star Game.

Id bet $1000 Hartnell said, “Suck it, Phaneuf” to start the fight.

Wasting Couturier… Wednesday Addams’ mock french emo bandcamp name but of course that means it could also be Cooter Corspe. Or possibly Cooter Cadaver.

Hartsy goal.

Hartsy and Phaneuf had words.

Hartsy (we’re pretty sure) tell Phaneuf, again, to suck it.

Yeah I have no particular hate for the Flyers. I enjoyed the little playoff rivalry we had going on in the early 2000s, even though we got beat every time.

I’ll always have a spot in my heart for the Leafs as they were the first team I followed in hockey.
