haven't we learned, that a series doesn't really start until somebody is facing elimination?

That might be true for the Philly series, but Montreal has been having good series from game 2's onwards, lol

It’s possible that both Jeff Carter (fractured right foot) and Ian Laperriere (brain contusion) will be back in the Flyers’ lineup at some point during their Eastern Conference Final series with the Montreal Canadiens. Both skated today in Voorhees, and while Carter’s status for the series is still very much up in the air, Laperriere has been cleared for contact.

FlyersTV: Holmgren speaks

Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren met with the media this afternoon to update the status of his two injured forwards. Carter skated today for about 15 minutes by himself, while Laperriere took part in the team’s optional noon practice.

There were reports last night that Carter could be ready for Game 2 of the series tomorrow night, but those were pretty ridiculous to begin with, being that Carter had not even skated in a nearly a month and is not in playing shape. Neither Carter nor Laperriere will play on Tuesday (7:00 p.m., Versus).

“I still think it’s a stretch (for Carter to play in the series against Montreal). He’s been off of the ice a long time,” said Holmgren today. “He hasn’t been able to do anything, really, from a conditioning standpoint. Obviously, it’s encouraging to see him out there today, as briefly as he skated.”

Laperriere, who notoriously blocked a shot with his face during Game 4 against New Jersey on April 20, is closer to a return than Carter. The penalty-killing specialist is also trying to get back into game shape, according to Holmgren.

“It’s a situation where he wasn’t able to do a whole lot (of conditioning),” said the general manager.

With the Flyers three wins away from the Stanley Cup Finals, Holmgren mentioned that he is not surprised that both Carter and Laperriere have seemingly beaten the timeframes for their respective returns. Carter was set to miss six weeks with his injury (it’s been less than four), while Laperriere was thought to be lost for the season.

“Hockey players live to play hockey this time of year. I’m sure they are both champing at the bit, big time,” said Holmgren. “It’s a just a question of a) are they healthy enough to play, and b) are they fit enough at this point?”

And if they are able to return?

“It would be huge. They are both a big part of our hockey team. Ian, from an emotional standpoint, and Jeff from a pure goal-scoring and skill standpoint.”

12:01 p.m. - Voorhees, NJ

Flyers center Jeff Carter made his first appearance on the ice since breaking his right foot today at the Virtua Center Flyers Skate Zone. Carter was on the ice for about 15 minutes by himself, skating laps around the rink and shooting a few pucks at the net before he left for the locker room. He did not take part in the team’s practice immediately afterwards.

Carter was hurt in Game 4 of the first round series with the New Jersey Devils on April 20, when he was hit with a slap shot by Chris Pronger while stationed in front of the net on a power play. Carter scored on the rebound, his second of the game in a 4-1 Flyers win.

He had surgery on the foot three days later.

The 6-3, 200-pound London, Ontario native led the Flyers in goals in the regular season with 33. He fractured his left foot on March 21 against Atlanta, causing him to miss eight games down the stretch.

We will get more on this story as it develops.

Like the Titanic barrelling through.....without sinking.

And I love that they play Pennywise's Bro Hymn - I wish they would let the whole song play.

Actually, they should play Bouncing Souls' "Ole" next time to fuck with Montreal.

eeriepadave

WOW what a game! Not sure who i am more impressed with in the playoffs, Boosh or Leighton? I guess Leighton cuz of the circumstances he came in, plus he has 2 shutouts in a row going for him. Keep it up guys

Dude, do yourself a favor - indulge. As good as it gets. Hear me now - they WILL be the band who carries the baton when, and if, PJ ever hangs it up. Aside from PJ, them and Gogol Bordello are the best live bands out there.

This is up there with "EVA EVA" for best Philly fan chants (Yanks & Red Sox fans never thought of that one, huh?).

Nice to be up 2-0 in dominant fashion. I hope we close this series out before the Habs figure out how to play again.
