Questions to Answer

  1. After the emotion of last night's big game, can the Flyers avoid getting caught tonight?
  2. Vokoun was brilliant against the Flyers before the holiday break. Bob wasn't so good that night. The entire team played like crap that night, actually, but in particular, can the goalie matchup shift a bit?
  3. Versteeg's second game. No points yet. Can he get on the board tonight?
  4. How much does Peter Laviolette shift up the lines tonight? He kept them pretty steady last night, but is tonight a different story as he tries to get some different looks with his shiny new player?

7:30 start time again. Go Flyers.
