    I guess the Flyers won in OT last night.

    Leighton put on IR, the infamous Boucher recalled for goalie backup.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Brutal effort tonight. The D had no coverage, and the offense stinks.

    What happened to Giroux? Somethings gotta be wrong with him or he is just void of confidence.

    This season is starting to remind me of the last time there was a lockout and the flyers just played like crap and finished last in the NHL.

    A Flyers beat writer was saying that Bryz was having a lengthy conversation with an old Leafs fan and signing autographs after he was pulled.

    They're also off to a slow start because of the lockout.

    Good for him. I still have no problem with the trade. Schenn has played well.

    Just wait until JVR gets hurt or stops playing hard. Im sure the back of the Sun will look a lot different.

    They've been talking smack without anything to back it up for 46 years, I'm surprised they aren't even more belligerent now that they've won a few games ;)

    flyers are in serious trouble... they arent doing the basic things that are needed to win...like, not turning puck over in own end (basic), not getting the puck in deep (most basic), no transition D. not having a offensive minded Dman hurts (Mez out) and not having hartnell hurts bigtime. no heart no soul...

    This team is a giant question mark. Never know what to expect.
    Blow a 2 goal lead tonight. Timonen is now injured.
    Getting nothing from our top guys(Briere, Giroux)

    Total suckfest.

    This team blows. Like I said before trade Coutier and picks for Bobby ryan. Couts isn't as good as everyone thought. This team needs a sniper and Ryan is just that.
    Go Birds!!!!

    let's examine facts vs. myth with the stats of player A and player B over the last 3 years.
    Player A:
    2012 - 31 goals, 57 points in 82 games (.37 goals per game, .70 pts per game)
    2011 - 34 goals, 71 points in 82 games (.41 goals per game, .87 pts per game)
    2010 - 35 goals, 64 points in 81 games (.43 goals per game, .79 pts per game)

    Player B:
    2012 - 21 goals, 34 points in 55 games (.38 goals per game, .62 pts per game)
    2011 - 36 goals, 66 points in 80 games (.45 goals per game, .83 pts per game)
    2010 - 33 goals, 61 points in 74 games (.45 goals per game, .82 pts per game)


    can you guess which the 2 players are? hints: one is considered a sniper here, the other is routinely disliked in these parts.

    the ship has sailed on the Bobby Ryan trade. Anaheim isnt in the basement anymore. In fact, they are the 2nd best team in the NHL right now and Ryan is one of their best players.
    Top teams dont trade their stars to bottom-feeders. If it didnt happen last year, its not happening.

    Maybe, after the season if they really want to sign both Perry and Getzlaf, but I would think they may rather keep Ryan and his somewhat reasonable cap hit. They have Selanne/Koivu too possibly retiring/coming off the books.... and I wouldnt put it past those 2 to just give a huge discount for another run.

    But Ryan for, say Couturier would put the Flyers over the cap anyways, and next season, the cap is diving a bit.

    The soup de jour is Ryan O'Reilly, but, like B Ryan, there are like 5 teams going for him and the price is too high.
