The game totalled 10 PIMs. It was the second straight shootout loss for the Flyers in as many days leading Blair Betts to say “You can feel it (lack of passion). The atmosphere was light and there wasn’t enough emotion or intensity, even before we went on the ice. You kind of felt it yesterday against Calgary and it’s something we have to fix.” Highlights -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30S83syc1ds

Nice bounce back game is what i'm looking for. Sure a win would be great but in all honesty after last nights game i just want to see them play a good all around game. specifically i think they need to concentrate on team def. we can talk all we want about the d-corps but the forwards have not been doing enough on the back check. Go Flyers!!
why make any changes when something is clearly not working at the moment..
things like this make me /facepalm at Lavi.
seriously why not try rotating some different players onto that top line for a few games and see what happens
Cause he can't just keep changing things the second they don't work. If that happens then lines will never stay intact. Relax, plus I'm sure the coaching staff knows how to run a team better than we do.
My guess is that he will play tomorrow. The injury supposedly had subsided prior to yesterday's game but he was likely scratched for precautionary reasons.

Thnx
i think Rinaldo will provide the team with some much needed energy
After a 3-0 win over the Washington Capitals, the Canes traded forward Alexei Ponikarovsky to the New Jersey Devils for a fourth-round draft pick in 2012 and minor-league defenseman Joe Sova
Quote:
The Canes signed Ponikarovsky to a one-year, $1.5 million contract over the summer. He had seven goals and eight assists in 49 games for the Hurricanes.
