GAME DAY THREAD MUSIC

"The Number of the Beast" by Iron Maiden

MiamiScreamingEagles · Mar 12, 2013

Other updates to be made when issued.

A second/third line juggle at practice today.

Karma · Mar 12, 2013

Devils are 4 points ahead with a game in hand. Really need 2 regulation wins against them.

mantis toboggan · Mar 12, 2013

Please don't make hedberg look like an allstar....

SolidSnakeUS · Mar 12, 2013

Oh ****ing joy...

TheLegendkiller · Mar 12, 2013

No way those are the Devil's lines.

FlyersFan61290 · Mar 12, 2013

thought this was the 6:30 start? didn't it change a little while back or is that next game?

SuchySays · Mar 12, 2013

I like the Briere - Couts - Gagne shake up line.. hopefully it works

I have a bad feeling that Briere will kill that line more than Couts will. At least Couts looked great in Sunday's game.

yeah, but atleast he won't kill the Schenn - Simmonds line anymore

It is 7:30 p.m. and is the Rivalry Game on NBC Sports Network.

The two remaining NJD games are 7:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. as listed.

The times that have changed are March 24 vs. PIT to 7:30 and Mar. 31 vs. WAS to 6:00 p.m.

6:30 was the time the pre-game coverage starts on NBCSN.

^ OK, that clarifies the issue.

The Flyers had an all French-Canadian line in their early days, too.

Couturier says he likes being on line with Gagne and Briere because they can talk in French "and no one will know what we're saying."

Hopefully it can be truly used to their advantage.

dats81 · Mar 12, 2013

These two games against NJ are exactly what this team needs NOT.
Can they solve their nemesis? Not in the way the have played recently...

CanadianFlyer88 · Mar 12, 2013

Hedberg has looked terrible and the Flyers need to light him up.

Win these two games (home & home versus the Devils) and the playoffs don't look so impossible.

Sho nuff. Briere has been terrible.

JDinkalage Morgoone · Mar 12, 2013

I am penciling a win. 4-2, goals by Simmonds, Jake, Talbot and Luke Schenn. Devils goals by David Clarkson (duh) and Kovalchuk. Flyers outshoot the devils 36-27, Bryz with 25 saves.

Beef Invictus · Mar 12, 2013

Elias with his usual 7 points, even if the Devils only score 1 goal.

I wonder what " Backcheck you stupid little lazy ****" translates to french ?

Gert B Frobe · Mar 12, 2013

I know I'm being negative and you all probably don't want to hear it but I think the Devils will all but end the Flyers' season on Friday night.
