Bob did....could have easily been a 5-0....although he should have had the third goal

While I understand that Bob has a great record against the Islanders (in reality, the Flyers have a great record against the Islanders) , i don't understand why they they did not play Ilya after he played very well last game. Are they trying to save him for the playoffs?

Very very poor game by the Flyers, Claude looks a little beaten down lately. He has is the heart of the team and has to step up hi splay. I am not going to complain too much about him as he is still playing great this whole season but he has to continue.

I hear Pronger is going to see the doctor on Feb. 1.

I agree. I didn't read back in this thread but all of the Flyers were out late on Wednesday night for a fundraiser and requested to Lavs that yesterday's afternoon practice be optional!

i think whether one of the 2 or 3 best players in hockey should be fighting is a legitimate question.

You dont think anyone should fight

In the Hockey World guys get respect when theyre the best player on the team and fight..its hockey its not going to change

It's not always about worrying about injuries..sometimes guys get frustrated and want to fight

Briere just fought not long ago

did you see the interview with Pronger's wife on CSN? Seemed a bit freaked still about his symptoms. Scary stuff with the concussions these days.

The defensive coverage all year has been especially alarming. Forwards dont help out, this has to be something that Laviolette needs to tighten up, as it falls on his shoulders.
As usual the goaltending is suspect, and its now compounded by the fact that the offense is sputtering. It seems like Giroux and Jagr both are still not 100% from their respective injuries. Besides the rookies, no other forwards are picking up the slack(Hello Briere).
The scoring was covering up the average goaltending/defense earlier in the season, now its a sore spot.

A deal for a reliable 5th/6th d-man has to be in the pipeline. I dont expect anything major though. That would be a mistake for Holmgren to panic and trade away a young piece right now. This team is just not built for a long playoff-run IMO. The absence of Pronger is large, and Bryz is just an absolute headcase right now, and the D in front of him is NOT helping his confidence at all.

This team traded away it's captain and top scorer over the summer. You don't expect anything major?

Nope. I cant see any significant trade being made before or at the deadline.
