2009-10 Flyers Season Thread

Richards didn't come back on the ice.

WTF is wrong with Giroux, he left the game too?

Boston Romes booing. farg them.

[BigEd76]

Giroux was shoved head first into the boards by Begin.  It was around PP #5 or 6

first time the Flyers have forced a game 6 when down 3-0, and it's the first combined shutout in the NHL in 55 years

Giroux was just shook up I think he's going to be fine. Richards too.

Best thing to happen in this game (besides the win) was Boucher getting hurt.

[BigEd76]

early rumors are a knee sprain for Boucher

[MDS]

lol what?

if boucher is so bad how are they at game 6 of the ec semis? and how could his backup be any better?

[Munson]

early rumors are a better goalie in net for the flyers for the rest of the series

[LBIggle]

leighton was obviously better during the regular season before his injury.. hard to say now what you'll get since this is his first playoffs and he's had a long layoff.  i don't think he'll be any worst.. but perhaps has the ability to steal a game which they will need if they have any illusion of taking this.

Boucher has been awful this series, to put it in perspective he was 1-3 this series and his save pct. was .865 and his GAA is up a goal, last series he was 4-1 with a .940 save pct. Tonight was his first decent night in net. Boucher did well last series because he was in position and didn't give easy rebounds, that's Leighton's strength. Leighton's an all around better goalie.

[BigEd76]

just reported....sprained MCLs in both knees

[SD]

oh well

[LBIggle]

couldn't have happened at a better time.  kind of weird this was leightons first day suiting back up.

really? Leighton was the starter...today was his 1st game back from injury.

[MDS]

i have no idea who leighton is and only no booch because of 2001

who was backing up him before? vanbeisbrouck?

[PhillyGirl]

Emery was the starter and went down with Injury
Leighton came in and is one of the main reasons they even were in a position to make the playoffs but he went down with injury
Boucher came back and stepped in when Leighton went down.

Leighton came back from injury TODAY and got thrown in there after Boucher went down.

[MDS]

who was backing up boucher before

please say roman checkmanek or peter white
