no way they get slaughtered...good chance they win

Wish I was as optimistic. Just been down this road too many times.

Surely all of Anthony Morrelli's talent will save them.

Patrick Kane already has 9 13 pts for the hawks

Flyers lose 4-3 and it should've been worse

[Geowhizzer]

Any news on Gagne?  I heard (didn't see the game) that he left because of "dizzyness."

[Rome]

They played pretty well in the second period, Ed, and the third period wasn't bad either.

They did come out flat tonight and Biron was shaky for the first time since the Calgary game.  He stood on his head a few times and kept them in it during stretches when they should have had their doors blown off, though.

Overall, I agree that it COULD have been worse.  They better get their shtein together and stop teams from peppering Biron so much.  Otherwise, he'll get killed out there before New Year's Day.

He's scratched for tonights game but all signs point to him being fine. I'm sure they're just sitting him for precautionary reasons. Hatcher is scratched tonight too although I'm not exactly sure why.

concussion

Flyers lost 5-2.  booo

[SD_Eagle5]

Better effort tonight than last night but same result.

[ice grillin you]

they are gonna have trouble scoring with gagne...without him they are in big trouble

[Seabiscuit36]

They needed Gagne last night.  Upshall should be back within a week, which should offer more speed and scoring. 

[SD_Eagle5]

It would be nice to see Hartnell score. He's had some chances and does some decent things on the ice but overall he just hasn't been there. I know Knuble scored a goal lastnight but once Gagne comes back its time to take him off the top line. He's looked really out of place there all season.

It would be nice to see Hartnell score. He's had some chances and does some decent things on the ice but overall he just hasn't been there.

hartnell is the typical flyers meathead that will skate around for 20 minutes a night giving twice the effort for half the results of the kind of talented players the team doesnt have nearly enough of

Randy Jones just crushed Patrice Bergeron and now they're taking him off on a stretcher
