Questions to Answer

2. The Briere line was great in Pittsburgh. More?
3. As was the power play. More?
4. Can the Flyers simplify the game and bring a "road style" game to home ice?
5. Bob was great in Pittsburgh, as well as last Saturday in New York. Three straight games would go a long way towards building the playoff confidence. Yes?
