    Rough game last night. I loved how players started dropping their sicks to get slashing calls, which the refs were handing out like candy. No excuse for 9 penalties though.

    Speaking of dumb penalties, Carcillo has reformed a bit and seems to be moving back to his rookie season in Phoenix. Nice piece here: http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/fly ... cillo.html

    Oh, and I love Lappy.

    Not so great play last night: Ryan Parent. Definitely looking like he's been out for awhile. I'm a big fan of the kid, but he was all kinds of running around. -1 over 14:35 minutes of ice time.

    Thought it was a nice move for Stevens to keep Bartulis in. Kid's nice in his own zone. -1 with Parent, but he read the play better.

    Did Scott Hartnell play last night?

    yeah, they didn't look very good for the first 50 minutes or so of the game. the first period was just terrible.

    once they got a sense of urgency, the seems to play pretty decent.

    i'd also bet Emry would like to have that second goal back.

    I don't know whats wrong with me but I can't get into the Flyers this season :yawn:

    Maybe because the season is so long ?

    or it only matters once the playoffs start and anything can happen ?

    Or sick of the same routine with this team ?

    :think: :problem:

    I'm having a difficult time too, though more with the NHL in general. I always have the Flyers on, but I typically watch games at least 5 nights out of the week, and that's not been the case this season. I love afternoon weekend hockey, but haven't paid much attention to that either. Dunno why.

    Yesterday, I watched a couple college games, and found them much more engaging. That prompted me to go pick out my annual xmas gift sweater: BC, away (maroon), $60.

    this is my first year being able to see all the Flyers games (NHL package). I'm digging it. but i do find myself only watching the canadian team matchups when the Fleyrs aren't playing.

    I'll always take a TSN or CBC broadcast over almost any in the US. The picture quality isn't even in the same ballpark compared to most US networks. And I'm sucker for Gord and Pierre. :D

    At least Vs. gives us Doc Emrick. Not sure I'll ever forgive him jumping from Prism to the Devils booth though.

    CBC has (at least back when espn was doing the games) much better areana sounds. ESPN would turn off all that noise and crank up the talking heads. then again, most everything espn touches is over hyped, over produced

    One of the few games I've seen this year

    Brodeur kept them in it..Flyers pretty much dominated

    Great stat of the night..Brodeur is now 1-5-1 against the Flyguys in his last 7

    should have been a shut out. the penalty on richard to give the devils a 5-3 power play was weak. then to give up a goal with .6 seconds left. arrrr

    but hey, Marty had a nice assist on James goal. The kid looks good

    I am totally eating crow on Emery. He's playing like he did in Ottawa during the Cup run year. And no speed bumps (heh) along the way.

    it's still way to early to think about playoffs. although, unless they have a total colapse, they will make the playoffs, from there it's a crap shoot.

    they've looked good so far for the most part, but they need to finish more plays. how many break aways have they missed this year?

    they left at least one goal on the ice agaist jersey.

    will we see the annual mid season swoon?

    plus the schedule does us no favors in march(?), where they play 4 games every week vs. the one per week they played at the begining of the season. there are a couple of teams that have already played 6 more games than the Flyers.

    we shall see

    damn late west coast game in LA tonight.

    one of those times I wish i had a tivo. probably only get to watch the saturday night game. phoenix. whoo. :?

    i think there was some complacency early in the season that caused a lot of problems last year, particularly when they needed to close it out and get a higher seed (and let us not forget Game 1 against Pgh). However, with Pronger dominating the league, and Lappy/Betts killing on a line with a more sane Carcillo, I sense a shift in attitude.
    On the other hand, The Hockey News already fucked us by predicting a Cup. Grrrr.
