This one ... it's just so ... SO .... big.

That's what she said.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Per Bill M. on Hockey Buzz:

Shayne Gostisbehere had to leave the pregame warmup with a lower-body injury that Gordon described as bruise. While out for Tuesday's game at Madison Square Garden, there is a decent chance he is ready for Thursday's game in Boston and will almost definitely be ready by Saturday, according to Gordon. Folin dressed in Gostisbehere's place. With the Flyers going into the second match of a back-to-back and the middle segment of a 3-in-4 stretch, Anthony Stolarz will get the start in goal against the New York Rangers.

Grab the back up job stolie! Keep Elliot and neuvirth away!!!

 

[DancingPanther]

It all comes down to this

 

[dats81]

That's by far the worst NYR lineup I have ever seen. Must win.

 

[BiggE]

**** the Rangers, today and every day. My wish for that franchise is that they finish dead last every year, always end up picking 4th and they always draft the next Pavel Brendl. **** them.

Heading to the game Saturday and Ghost is fun to watch in person especially. Heal up!

Win here and the Pens lose to the Lightning tomorrow and they’re only 10 points out.

Your rage fuels me more than my morning coffee.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Good night for a loss. Get back down in the basement while having Hart unscathed.

I would rather beat the Rangers every game until the end of time than win the draft lottery.

Kind of hard to argue with this. lol

 

[Dicky Dangles]

Beat the Jets.

On to the Rangers.

And then the Bruins.

 

[tictactoe]

Any hockey rumors from this guy?

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Credit where credits due. JVR has visibly picked up his game since Gordon took over, more than anyone else really. Even saw a few good stickchecks in his own end yesterday which you definitely weren't seeing earlier this season. Guy would be pacing for over 30+ in a full season now, in spite of the sterile PP.

rumor has it he was pooping his pants when this photo was taken.

Imagine how good he could be if he ate a salad once in a while and his balls finally dropped.

Win out this week and we may only be 8 pts back of the playoff spot. I don’t see is losing much with Hart. We’d know this team can win 10 in a row with Hak. Maybe they do more with Gordon. Either way I’m happy with this games outcome. Just no OT.

 

[BiggE]

Really don't understand why they aren't recalling Myers for tonight's game. If they need a roster spot, they can always send Hart down (it would just be a paper move, he wouldn't have to report) since Stolarz is starting tonight and McKenna can be the backup. If Ghost still isn't ready to go by Thursday, then just recall Hart and waive McKenna. If someone claims him, who gives a ****, it's not like you can't find another goalie similar to McKenna at pretty much any time if you need one.

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

Hey guys, quick question, will this game be simulcast on the local comcast network and blacked out on NBCSN?

I am a cord cutter living in the KOP area who has NBCSN but not the local sports networks.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Should be a fun one. I wonder if Hart plays again tonight.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Rags are dressing 7D and scratching Buchnevich while Howden still plays.

I'm not even a huge Buchnevich fan, but this league is hilarious.

 

[YEM]

lowest prices I've seen on the secondary market for a flyers/rags game since I've lived in the NYC area [10 yrs]
I might go to this one...

 

[Fight4yourRight]

With Boston on Thursday, no way Hart starts.
