After his last performance he definitely deserves it..
He seems to thrive on a more active work load. I would keep starting him in goal. The Flyers always seem to be flat on the 1st game back on home ice after a long road trip. I hope tonight is not the case.

This was one of my complaints earlier in the year when Bryz and Bob were constantly flip flopped
JVR's best game this year and ends up getting 4 points and 3 goals..
Briere gets a goal
Simmonds gets a goal on the PP on a rebound
Read breaks his scoring drought with a wrist shot from the slot
and not see us start the game down a goal or two early..
that would be nice for a change
Why dick around with a good thing? Bryz has played well the last couple starts and is making some strides. Why not let him build off his performance in San Jose?
IMO thats a part of the goaltending problem, they never get enough starts to get anything going before flipping to the other guy.
Even if he has a bad game, you throw him back out there to figure it out. Sitting the bench doesnt help you get out of a funk, playing will.

Been saying that since about Late november/early december
for some reson bryz just needs to get off to better starts. That was his achillies heal in the flames sharks game. I mean after that first goal to sharks, it was a great goalie preformance.
Niemmi for some reason decides to play like a SC goalie against us.
I think its time to start a new 17 game home win streak vs NYI.
They just need to come out and kick the chit out of islanders.
Our D is starting to play better, the new additions are nice.
I think they just needed time to gel and get the chemistry working.
this will be kubina first home game right? as well as grossman

Laviolette needs to toss down the gauntlet for this team to not play down to the Islanders. Something like "Everyone who records a point doesn't get punched in the back of the head on the bench." The Islanders should be a perfect opponent to work on all aspects of their game:
Defense: Shut down Tavares and Parenteau; block out the shooters in the slot
Offense: Exploit the Islanders' 3rd and 4th lines, and make Nabokov not look like Tretiak
Goaltending: See defense; no weak goals
Overall: start strong and sustain pressure for 60 minutes
