Gameday: Philadelphia VS Buffalo

This game should not be taken lightly. Lindy Ruff always manages to coach very well against us and Buffalo is one team in the league that has had a lot of success against us. They always manage to get great goaltending against the Flyers and control most of the play. It should be an interesting test for us as a much improved and under-rated team in Buffalo will be ready for us tomorrow night.

Prediction:

Philly wins 2-1


Goals by Amonte and Pitkanen

Hard to believe hockey season is here already. I often hear the media saying things like "I can't believe the NHL season is here, it seems like it just ended," or something like that, but to me it's been a long off-season without hockey.

Anyway, I think it will be fun for the Flyers to open up against Buffalo as their a pretty big rival.

I'm going to call a blow out for the Flyers....something like 5-2 or 6-1. I think the Flyers are defenitly the better team and they are going to be jacked.

Gagne with 2 goals

hey guys i'm back after a three month absence, if you even noticed i was gone.

no, it really doesnt seem like hockey season yet, usually i'm counting down the days until it starts but not this year.

I agree that Buffalo's goalies usually play well against us--also interested to see how the power play will work for us, and can't wait to see Joni play.

I hate your avatar :p

That pic is taken when you guys beat us in Buffalo right?

I think the boys will win, but it won't be a blow out. I don't think many of our games will be blow outs.
2-1, 3-2, a close score. We might dominate in time of posession, but Buffalo will hang around, just to make things nervous!

I also think it will be a close one but the Flyers will pull it out. Call me crazy but Hackett will have a good game tonight. The defense will do a good job protecting him tonight.

Man if this is a blowout (likely won't be) I'd be really surprised. I miss what scoring goals feels like. It's not often we see the Flyers score 4,5,6 goals anymore. I remember last season we ripped out of the gates with a lot of goals and it seemed to have quited down once Johnny got injured. 2 Guys I hope will have huge seasons are Amonte and Kapanen.
They are goal scorers and have to regain their touch for us to be considered one of the elite teams in the league. Imagine getting 30 goals from Amonte, Roenick, Kapanen, Gagné, Leclair, Recchi, Primeau (doubtful in new role), Williams??? It's very possible for the majority of these guys. I think the trip to West point helped them out. We'll wait and see......

9.5 hours remaining......

4-2 Buffalo win. I think the sabres power play is very dangerous now and will contribute greatly to the win where as the philly power play is non existent from what I hear.

It's not often we see the Flyers score 4,5,6 goals anymore.
I'm not sure about this one, but someone told me the Flyers were one of four teams to not score 7 goals in a game last year. 7 is a lot, but with all the fire power we supposedly had, you'd think we'd have to beat someone 8-1 or something.

I'm not big on predicting games early in the season, but I think the Flyers will win. Buffalo's defense is still a bit weak, they're not too solid, they lost who might have been their #3 d-man in Rhett Warrener. The big question is wheather or not the Flyers can exploit the inexperience of the Sabres team. 4-2 win.

And get it together on the power play. If we had that going last season, we would have won the division.

Im going for a 3-1 Sabres win, the Sabres have been the Flyers bogey team and I think the Flyers will get bad goaltending to lose it early.

I also think it will be a close one but the Flyers will pull it out. Call me crazy but Hackett will have a good game tonight. The defense will do a good job protecting him tonight.

Crazy ;)

Not sure about how many temas scored 7 or didn't.

Flyers scored six 7 times if you count the playoffs.

I just want the 2 points. I really could care less who scored 6, 7 or 8 goals, just WIN!

Bottom line, is we need to win our division, to get the #2 seed. So for those who say the reg. season means nothing, it does! The Debs had the easy road to the finals, because they took care of business during the reg. season.

what made the difference was the 3 losses to Jersey in the regular season.

That's + 6 points for them. Had we won one of those 3 we would have been ranked 2nd. We need to beat them in the season series, that will prove to be huge.

Buffalo has been a thorn in the Flyers side in recent past, but it's a new season and that could very well change. Should be a good game, and it's the home opener, so of course I have a meeting at 7:00. :madfire:

Yeah tell me about it Doc, I got conned into cutting my hair. The only available time was 6:30 tonight. Hopefully I'll get out of there in time to watch the opening night presentation, curious on what they are going to do. What time is your meeting finished?

Hopefully not too long. I'm thinking of taping the game so I can watch what I miss.

Buffalo has played well against us in recent history, but I definitely feel we're the clear-cut better team. Anything less than a win will be disappointing. Come on, they have An_y _elmore on their blueline, this game should be a cinch. ;)

the Flyers will win tonight,the score I'm looking for is something like 5-2,with the first season goal to be scored by Simon Gagné,Sami Kapanen or JR.

sigh. Hey listen,I LOVE the Flyers,but I'll watch the occasional Devils game,since now I'm looking out for my fantasy players like Friesen and Lags. we went through this earlier,and there is no need to backtrack.

Sabres 5
Flyes 0

Miller gets shutout

Zhitnik scores two pp goals

Satan,Kotalik,Delmore score.

Gonna be tough against the Flyers. I'm kinda expecting a tie. I'll say 3-3.

Make sure you come back when the game is over.

If Delmore is on the ice long enough to score, the Flyers will too.

Peters will beat the cobwebs out of Brashear and miller will stop the puck all night long. 7 p.m, It''s Miller Time!

Andrew Peters shows Grandpa Brashear what new school is all about.

Thank you for your wonderfully mature and well thought out contribution. You have a rookie in goal, behind a weaker defense and a weaker offense, how can't Philly score?

#2 Buffalo scored 5 goals last sunday vs. Ottawa

In the preseason, which means very little, if anything.

#3 We probably have the best play by play broadcasters in the league.

Hardly. One of the few things I don't miss about being in college now is hearing Rick Jeanerette's voice.

Andrew Peters shows Grandpa Brashear what new school is all about.

If Peters wants to rumble, Brashear will be game, if Fedoruk or Vandermeer doesn't get him first. FYI: Brashear hasn't lost a fight as a Flyer. He's had draws, but he hasn't lost, certainly not as decidedly as you think he will. Check the tapes.

#3 Get some entertaining play by play people in Buffalo because the ones you have are absolutely wretched.



Are you on *****in crack!? Jeanerette is unentertaining and wretched?! You have either never heard Sabres play-by-play before or are one of the very very few people who don't like Jeanerette. He is known around the NHL as one of the most, if not the most, exciting announcers around. He is the most passionate play-by-play man I've ever heard, constantly screaming when we score and his calls during fights are amazing.

Grosek pumbled Bashear in the 97-98quarter finals. And I do beleive Ray beat the crap out of him as well.

Three key errors in your comments:
1. Brashear wasn't a Flyer at the time.
2. Grosek and Ray aren't Sabres anymore.
3. Brashear was on Vancouver in 97-98, they never met in the playoffs.

Please, Hackett sucks and eveyone in Philly knows it too but they won't admit it. I would much rather have on of the most highly-touted prospects in the NHL playing in my net.

And we have a weaker offense now? Since when did adding Chris Drury make someone's offense worse? Obviously you follow the Sabres close enough to make statements about us which are valid.

If Peters and Brashear go, it'll be a good fight. If Peters fights anyone else on the Flyers, mark my word, they'll get thier ass kicked into the street. Peters is huge, 247 pounds, and beat the living **** out of Vandanbusshe and many others in the preseason.

2. Grosek and Ray aren't Sabres anymore.


One key error in your remark:

Grosek and Ray were Sabres in 97-98. He wasn't talking about last season.

I've been saying Hackett sucks before they signed him.

And we have a weaker offense now? Since when did adding Chris Drury make someone's offense worse? Obviously you follow the Sabres close enough to make statements about us which are valid.

The Sabres offense is weaker than the Flyers, which was the point I was making, the point is very easy to draw from my statement.

Good for him. I hope they do fight, I would love to see a real good fight tonight.

One key error in your remark:

Grosek and Ray were Sabres in 97-98. He wasn't talking about last season.

Yes I know that. But since they're not on the Sabres now, what they did 5 years ago means nothing, since they're not on the team to fight him this year.

The Sabres offense is weaker than the Flyers, which was the point I was making, the point is very easy to draw from my statement.

Good for him. I hope they do fight, I would love to see a good fight tonite.

Sorry, I guess I read your statement wrong.

I would love to see that fight too. Honestly, I'd be surprised if it didn't happen.

It probably won't though. Fedoruk is the main fighter now, when he plays [which he will tonight]. When he's in the lineup, him and Brashear have Domi/Belak-like thing going, where Todd takes most of the fights but Brashear handles the big names. It's great when they play a team like say the Leafs or Rangers, because after the second tier guys fight--especially if they fight early--you're just waiting for the heavyweights to rumble, you can almost smell it.

Miller is better than hacket even if he is just a rookie.

Preseason does mean little but good pre-seasons can roll over into good regular seasons

sabres play by play anouncer IS one of the best anouncers in the league, fact is people regonize him, i don't recall anyone every recognizing the flyers anouncer

Peters is 6'5'' 245 pounds, it'll be a good fight and it doesnt matter if brashear never lost, he's bound to at one point or another

I'm not debating that. I'm just saying I won't miss hearing him. For me, Jeanerette is similar to Emrich. Both are very good, both are very knowledgable, but they both go a little overboard. I can only take so much at a time.

Peters is 6'5'' 245 pounds, it'll be a good fight and it doesnt matter if brashear never lost, he's bound to at one point or another

Size doesn't equal talent. We'll see who is the better of the two, if they even fight each other.

yeah, Brashear is a damn good fighter and Peters has alot to prove and wants to be in the same heavyweight division as a Brashear and that guy from edmonton. It should be a good game that both teams will be up for emotionally! Can't wait!

If Delmore is on the ice long enough to score, the Flyers will too.

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

It's gametime!!!!!

Holy *****! The Gagne-Roenick-Amonte line is working great! Looks like I was right this time,and Pitkanen is looking pretty good.

Dammit... will they quit it with the posts ??

Brash and Willy allready... Without Preems we need to cash in on every opportunity, Affinegenov and Satan can score at any time....

Hack's looked good so far, let's hope he doesn't get injured yet.

willy's shot was disgusting-wow. and Primeau is a malaka!

So Joni's looking steady...?

Peters is 6'5'' 245 pounds, it'll be a good fight and it doesnt matter if brashear never lost, he's bound to at one point or another

so, who cares about size! Tie Dome is only 6' 190lbs and he's a great fighter. on the contrary, Andrei Nazarov 6'5 245lbs and isn't one of the top heavy weights. so size doesn't matter, it's just a plus. it comes down to how skilled you are as a fighter.

Domi isnt a great fighter, he just has a stone jaw. Reminds me of that old Simpsons episode.

willy's shot was disgusting-wow. and Primeau is a malaka!
LOL! malaka....I haven't heard that in a while and your right he is a malaka. :joker:





Domi isnt a great fighter, he just has a stone jaw. Reminds me of that old Simpsons episode.
I disagree, I think he is a great fighter and has been for the better part of a decade now, especially considering his size to most of the other heavy weights.

Peters practices boxing and is known to be a good skater and one hell of a fighter.

Todd Fedoruk practices Judo. Brashear is a good skater. Both are good fighters. Buffalo has a potentially good fighter on their hands, but don't go overboard in your accolades until he proves himself in the NHL.

Miller gets shutout

Mark Recchi on the PP from Williams and Pitkanen.

Handzus!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL! malaka....I haven't heard that in a while and your right he is a malaka. :joker:




I love that word! lol!

I love that word! lol!

I love that Pitkanen.

I love that Pitkanen.
same here,he really is good!

ugh, way to stick it to us, gang.

see ya in january

brashear is a chicken

great win by the Flyers!

I don't know but Hackett looked pretty good to me, I mean, I know it's only the first game but he made some big saves. Amonte also looked real good, seemed like he had a scoring chance on ever shift. Vandermeer and Pitkanen looked good too.

brashear is a chicken :cry:

brashear is a chicken

No, he's a smart player. He didn't drop the gloves. He got the green rookie to take a dumb penalty. Great game, didn't see like we really got it going till mid way through the second period. Amonte is just chomping at the bit...everyone looked good.

I remember saying "Call me crazy, Hackett will have a good showing tonight."

I guess I'm not crazy. He's got a sweet goalie mask with Parent, Hexy and Lindbergh on it along with Rocky.

Point numero uno for Pitkanen

Great game by the team! Hackett proved me wrong,and Pitkanen did great too!

no, brashear didn't drop them was becuase he was scared to lose a fight on home ice. Brashear isn't smart enough to think about making a rookie take a penalty instead. hacket wasnt even tested, your defense just played extremely well.

The Special Teams won us the game today. Plain and simple.

I think he can Hackett...btw

I will elaborate later - I have like 3 huge tests tomorrow :rolleyes:

that sucks,I've got 2 tests. Good luck with yours! :)

Is it just me or do you guys now feel confident when the opposition is in our zone. Hackett can definitely Hack IT. MAn we looked great today...and cudows to Amonte for all the scoring chances he generated. We got a great team by the looks of it fellas and let's hope we can keep up at this pace. Hackett shows true class putting our top goalies on his mask. We could have won this game 6-0 and it looks like Williams is going to have a breakout season.

Don't be a sore loser. The game was 0-0. Drawing a penalty was the right thing to do. That it was a 4 minute was extra sweet. Of course, the Flyers didn't convert on the man advantage, but regardless of that Brashear made the smart play. Roenick did the same to Drury later in the game.

Great win tonight. The PP won the game, a pleasant surprize, and the team didn't really seem to miss a beat after Primeau was tossed. Miller looked really good, Hackett was flawless. Pitkanen is huge, and at times--more importantly, the right times--he seemed like a 4th forward. Sure, it's only one game, but for many of us it was our first look at him and it was a good one. Vandermeer very quietly played a very nice game, played some rock solid defense and played the body well. Very encouraging start to the season.

I agree.

I am also wondering if it looks like were going to still be in "nowheresville" like some others have posted on this board. I know it's only one game but it doesn't look that way to me.

BTW, we also played without LeClair.

I am a big fan of Jeff Hackett, especially after meeting him in Boston, let's not forget that t his guy had the starting job in Montreal before he got injured and Theodore came in and stole it. He is technically sound and that is enough for us to go pretty far. We don't have to rely on our goalie to win us games, we play good enough defence to cover, all we nee dis a guy who can control rebounds, handle the puck, and cover his angles. And we have that in Hackett.

I really like Hackett's mask, honoring Parent, Lindberg, and Hextall, and with Rocky on the back of it, very classy and a good way to buy some support from the fans too.

I like it too

I was very happy to see the leadership and smart play our players used (Roenick, Brash, and Rex saving tony from going after that one player after a check in the back. I was really impressed by hack, he was always in postion and made a nice save with under a minute left in the game. I found myself saying a lot " I dont think roman even knows how to do that". And as one of my new drunk buddies up in section 212 said " Hackett for vezina, vote on your way out!" And i think that sabers22 might be as drunk as the guy i met, calling Brash a chicken b/c he didnt fight when the score was tied, what a MO-RON. Somebody doesn't know how to lose.

And as one of my new drunk buddies up in section 212 said " Hackett for vezina, vote on your way out!"

LOL! Hmm, that sounds like a slogan/rallying cry. The S.O.B.: Hackett for Vezina! Vote your way out!

Flyers played well.

Hackett was very solid.

Penalty Killing was outstanding, and 2 PP goals to win the game. :yo:

Amonte should have had at least 4. Missed two empty nets and hit Miller in the chest 2 othe times.

We also hit at least 3 posts/crossbars.


All in all a very good start.

The Sabres embaressed me today. Good win by the Flyers. Looks like the same old story here in Buffalo, no goals from anyone. This better change or i'm gonna be pissed.

Well, Flyers are as good as anyone in the league defensively.

The Sabres should score some goals, not having Hecht in the line-up certainly hurts.

A solid start, nothing flashy, but it's 2points. For the 1st 2 peroids it was the same as last season. Dominate time of posession, and nothing to show for it. Prims game misconduct call was a joke.

I saw nothing new, entertainment wise, during stoppages. The flag & skyline, on the ice , during the anthem was nice, but the rest was the same nonsense. So, we had girls handing out the towels & magnet schedules, and they stood behind the clown w/ the mic during stoppages. That's the best Coskey could do?
I was really surprised at the ton of empty seats. My section had empty ROWS! ROWS! Amazing....

how was the primeau ejection a joke???? miro had his back turned and keith lunged at him and slammed him against the boards, He should recieve a 2 or 3 gme suspension as should roenick for the hit on Drury, bunch of cheap shot artists.

For a guy who cries so much you should carry baby Huey as your avatar and not Tito Ortiz.
The hit on Drury was nothing.
Lesson Learned: Don't put yopur back to anyone while near the boards, easpecially if JR is lurking around. Primeau's was a "little" dirty but no way should he have a gotten a game misconduct.

LOL. You really are a sore loser, calling for JR to be suspended on a play that resulted in a penalty on the other player.

Satan had a hit me sign on his back. Primeau shouldn't have hit him but I guess it was too tempting.

#1 With that old broken down hunk of ***** you have in net how cant Buffalo score.

Open mouth, insert foot.

It was a solid win by the Flyers last night, they executed very well. The defense played very well and if you didn't know better you wouldn't of realized there were two rookies (well, one rookie and another almost rookie) in the lineup last night.

I know it's early, but Pitkanen has something I the Flyer haven't had in a while on defense, and that's somebody who's confident on the power play. He looks more mature than his years, that's for sure.

Hackett wasn't tested that much but when he was tested he did what he had to do. I really like Hackett's mechanics, his positioning is very solid.

I'm starting to worry about Tony Amonte's accuracy. He could have had at least 3 goals last night with all the open net he had to shoot at. You can't expect a player to bury every shot, but missing that many great opportunities is worrisome.

On the Buffalo side, Ryan Miller looked very good. On the two PP goals that were scored he was left all alone as the Buffalo defenders seemed to be out to lunch. Also, aside from the incidence with Roenick Chris Drury was invisible.

I'd have to disagree there, I thought the Gagne-Roenick-Amonte line looked real good. Problem was Amonte didn't finish his chances, otherwise JR could have had 2 or 3 assists.

I think he means Drury was invisible. I agree with him.

how was the primeau ejection a joke???? miro had his back turned and keith lunged at him and slammed him against the boards, He should recieve a 2 or 3 gme suspension as should roenick for the hit on Drury, bunch of cheap shot artists.

I agree with the ejection just to keep the game from getting out of hand for the hit but what kills the game is that players are turning late to face the boards and setting themselves up to get killed. Miro was sideways and ya Keith could have pulled off but he was only a stride or so away when Miro turned and faced the boards. This happens all the time and frankly the players need to not put themselves in that position.
JR was just riding Drury and did not crush him or push - just rode into the boards - not a cheap shot. If Drury was so mad why did he not drop the gloves and try to go?

He did drop his gloves... he grabbed Roenick with his hands.

whats your excuse for losing last night. 2-0. i hate to tell you this, you were never in the game. if you want a good deal, go bye a case of crying tissue buddy.

Satan had a hit me sign on his back. Primeau shouldn't have hit him but I guess it was too tempting.

You don't seem to realize that seriousness of boarding. It's very dangerous and needs to be controlled before someone really gets hurt.

I know how serious it is. When I saw him stay down for a little bit I started to get a little worried. Primeau shouldn't have hit him but Satan should know better than to leave himself that vulnerable.

Yes, I was referring to Mr. Drury.
