Matt Read's about to take a penalty shot.

Bryz played a solid game tonight.

[rjs246]

Giroux is goodish.

[rjs246]

I like this team. Contributors everywhere. I still don't trust their goaltending, the pp looks like poopoo and allowing two shorties is a farging embarrassment, by they're a really enjoyable team to watch.

[SunMo]

bryz has been really good since the Jets debacle

Yeah, he's been solid.

I'm not too concerned about Bryz...I think everyone is going to be a little nervous more because of past history with Philly goalies than anything. But this guy is a stud, just wasn't playing real well. seems to have his head back on right though and fallen into his comfort zone.

Hope Jagr's injury isn't too serious....

[ice grillin you]

he wont be a stud until he wins in the playoffs...hes a good goalie but he got shook in the playoffs last year because he thought the team was gonna be relocated...so facing the pressure that comes with being a flyers goalie scres me with him....because toto this aint arizona or california anymore

at least he doesnt suck tho...thats a good start

The meeting of the league's 30 general managers earlier this week figured to center around Philadelphia's tactics last week against Tampa Bay's neutral zone trap when the Flyers sat on the puck in their own zone refusing to move it forward unless Lightning players came up to forecheck.

The move led to plenty of reaction around the league and led to criticism of the Lightning's style of play. The harshest critics came during the intermission of the game, which was broadcast nationally in the United States on Versus, from studio analysts Keith Jones and Mike Milbury who called Tampa Bay's style of play "embarrassing''.

Tampa Bay general manager Steve Yzerman questions the motives of the criticism coming from the Versus analysts.

"Versus is owned by Comcast, Comcast owns the Flyers, Keith Jones is a broadcaster with the Flyers and is hardly impartial,'' Yzerman said. "I think that anybody that looks at that objectively should be saying, "Did Tampa do the right thing or Did Philadelphia do the right thing'' and you can make an argument both ways.''

I was showing my pop how to use his new kindle and he asked me "Can I get that Philadelphia sports station (meaning WIP) on this?".  I found it for him and the Flyers were on.  He was so excited to listen to the game.  Once Saunders gave the score, 4-1 Jets I ruined his morning by yelling out "farging Bob!". 

[SunMo]

it was mostly the team in front of him, they played like shtein for most of the 1st and 2nd, finally turned it on a little in the 3rd.

Bob was really good early, but after the first two goals that weren't his fault he seemed to get shook
