December 28, 1979 -- The Flyers won 5-3 in front of 16,038, the largest hockey crowd to date in Winnipeg (WHA and NHL). Pete Peeters made 32 saves and five different players recorded goals. Bob Kelly (1-1-2) and Bobby Clarke (0-2-2) had two points and Brian Propp's unassisted goal late in the second period made it 2-1 and put Philly ahead for good. Propp had two bus loads of supporters make the journey from Saskatchewan. It was the Flyers' 32nd straight game without a loss (streak reached an NHL record 35 games) and the team's W-L-T record improved to 23-1-10.
January 10, 1980 -- Bill Barber's (1-1-2) breakaway goal with 6:34 to play capped a Flyers' rally in which they out-scored Winnipeg 4-2 in the third period en route to a 5-4 home win. Rick MacLeish, Mel Bridgman (1-1-2) and Bob Kelly scored in a span of 63 seconds midway in the third period to put Philly on top 4-3. Morris Lukowich's (2-0-2) second goal of the period made it 4-4 with 7:16 to play. Barber's GWG was the Flyers' fourth score in a team-record (since broken) span of 2:50. The Flyers outshot the Jets 17-7 in the third period. Winnipeg goalie Pierre Hamel, who made 27 saves on 28 shots, suffered a bruised right knee and was replaced 6+ minutes into the third period by backup Gary Smith who allowed four goals on 14 shots in a span of 12:12. Prior to the game, Smith jokingly raised his hands and skated along the ice while Flyers' fans applauded the home team in their first appearance since their NHL-record unbeaten streak was stopped at Minnesota.
January 25, 1980 -- The Flyers recorded a 5-4 win at Winnipeg in a battle of the NHL's best and worst teams. Behn Wilson (1-1-2) and Rick MacLeish (1-1-2) both had two points and Pete Peeters made 26 saves.

February 27, 1981 -- Bill Barber (3-0-3) had a hat trick and Pete Peeters made 27 saves in the Flyers' 6-3 win at Winnipeg. Philly led 3-0 at the 8:54 mark with Barber scoring twice in 31 seconds.

Doug Soetaert made 27 saves. The day prior to the game, longtime Flyer Reggie Leach asked the club to trade him due to diminished playing time. "I asked to be traded if I wasn't going to be played regularly. It could be that I might not be coming back from this road trip and that is why I packed a little extra," said Leach. This game marked the fifth in succession in which he was scratched by head coach Pat Quinn, though he played the next eleven before being waived days after Bob McCammon replaced the fired Quinn the following month.
March 2, 1982 -- Willy Lindstrom (5-1-6) scored five goals, Morris Lukowich (0-4-4) had four points and Doug Soetaert made 48 saves in the Jets' first ever win in Philadelphia, 7-6. The Flyers outshot the Jets 54-32, including a game-high 10 shots from Bill Barber. The Flyers were led by Ray Allison (3-0-3), who had his first NHL hat trick, and Ken Linseman (0-4-4). Winnipeg had six one-goal leads: 1-0, 2-1, 3-2, 4-3, 6-5 and 7-6. The Flyers cut the gap with consecutive goals to make it 6-5 but Lindstrom made it 7-5. Each team scored three times in the third period. Pete Peeters gave up 7 goals on 32 shots. Head coach Pat Quinn said "We have to have good goaltending. It's one of the areas that has to be good and it has not been good as of late." The next day the Flyers recalled Pelle Lindbergh who started March 4 and played in his third NHL game. Bobby Clarke returned to the lineup after missing the previous 18 games with a broken foot/ankle. Frank Bathe scored in his first game since November 14 (herniated disc in his back). At the end of the season, Bathe was named the Barry Ashbee Award winner as the Flyers' best defenseman despite playing just 28 regular season games.

The Flyers improved to 34-13-7, the best record in the NHL. Lindsay Carson scored in the game's first minute, fought Doug MacLean less than four minutes later and added a third period assist. A brawl started 14:28 into the second period when Bryan Maxwell retaliated with Frank Bathe after being high-sticked by Brian Propp and both benches emptied. Bathe and Jimmy Mann were ejected.
October 13, 1983 -- Ilkka Sinisalo, making his season debut as a replacement for the injured Paul Holmgren, and Dave Poulin each scored twice to lead the Flyers to a 4-3 win in Philadelphia. Pelle Lindbergh made 27 saves. The game was tied 1-1 after the first period but Sinisalo's two strikes gave the Flyers a 3-1 lead after 40 minutes. Sinisalo was a healthy scratch the first three games of the season and said afterwards "It's really boring to sit up there and (watch)." The Flyers improved to 4-0-0 with this victory.

December 1, 1985 -- Dan Bouchard's 38 saves helped Winnipeg win 2-1. It was the Jets' fourth straight home win against the Flyers and fifth victory in the last seven meetings. All the scoring came in the middle period. Dave Ellett and Doug Smail (SHG) followed a Mark Howe goal. Derrick Smith's goal was disallowed when the referee ruled roughing minors had been called just prior to the puck entering the net.

Dave Poulin had three assists and Brad McCrimmon and Peter Zezel also scored. Steve Penney was replaced by Pokey Reddick 12:23 into the first period with the Flyers holding a 3-0 lead. Mike Keenan said "I read the article on his grandmother and I had no choice (to start him). I realized this morning it would be very special for him to play here. I wanted to give him that chance." Local newspapers ran full page stories about Hextall's return to Manitoba.
February 4, 1987 -- Dale Hawerchuk and Dave Ellett each scored twice and Daniel Berthiaume made 23 saves in Winnipeg's 5-3 home win. Ron Hextall made 31 saves and Peter Zezel (2-1-3) had three points. The teams combined for three goals (two by the Flyers) in 39 seconds early in the third period.

The winning goal came during two infractions to Hextall who was whistled for tripping then 21 seconds later was called for delay of game. The Flyers scored twice during the second period in 38 seconds to take a 3-1 lead which lasted until nine minutes remained in the game to play but the Jets scored twice in 39 seconds to tie the game 3-3. The Flyers were absent two of their top defensemen in Brad Marsh and Kjell Samuelsson and relied on Greg Smyth (two assists) and Kerry Huffman (first NHL goal) to help fill the gaps. The Flyers were called for six consecutive minors stretching into the third period. Winnipeg held a 42-32 shots advantage including 30-18 over the last two periods. Paul MacLean (2-0-2) had two goals for the Jets. Hextall, the game's number one star, said of MacLean "He slashed me six or seven times and no penalties were called, I do it once and all of a sudden they call it." Craven stole the puck from Mario Marois and skated in alone to provide the win in an improbable fashion.
January 30, 1988 --Mark Laforest made 26 saves and Peter Zezel (1-1-2) snapped a 17-game scoring drought in the Flyers' 4-3 home win. Rick Tocchet (1-1-2), whose SHG made it 4-2 in the third period, and Scott Mellanby (1-1-2) also had two points. Philly held a 43-29 shots advantage. Daniel Berthiaume made 39 saves for the Jets.
March 26, 1988 -- Tim Kerr recorded a natural hat trick, his first three goals of this injury-plagued season, and Mark Laforest made 31 saves in a 6-0 win in Philadelphia. Pelle Eklund had three points and Flyers' defensemen had six points. Kerr, out most of the season because of his fifth shoulder operation, played in his fourth game of the season and first since missing the previous six games; he had eight shots on net and recorded his 16th career hat trick. Defenseman Doug Crossman responded with his "best game in three years. I don't know if the benching was a blow to his pride or what. But, that's as ready as I've seen him be for a game in three years and it showed. That's the most active Doug has been all year. He played a major role in the win," said head coach Mike Keenan.
December 18, 1988 -- Rick Tocchet scored twice, including his 100th NHL goal, and Ron Hextall made 24 saves in the Flyers' 5-1 home win.

In July 1989, the Flyers traded Shawn Cronin to the Jets for futures but the Flyers canceled the Jets' owing anything in return in order to protect Peeters and Acton in the waiver draft -- something the Jets could do because they had available space while the Flyers did not. In December 1989, the NHL ruled the transaction was against League rules and fined the Flyers and Jets $10,000 each claiming the bylaws stipulated that loaning of players is prohibited. NHL President John Ziegler said that even though there was no evidence to contradict the teams' claimed innocence ''the absence of a legally binding agreement to retrade does not mean there was no loan of the players. All legal niceties aside, the bottom line is that immediately prior to the waiver draft, the players belonged to Philadelphia and immediately after the draft, they belonged to Philadelphia. In the interim, they were protected from the draft. It is clear to me this was a loan of players.''
October 8, 1989 -- Doug Smail (2-1-3) and Tom Draper (30 saves) led the Jets to a 5-3 victory in Winnipeg despite a hat trick for Rick Tocchet (3-0-3). Pete Peeters made his first appearance in his return to the Flyers and made 29 stops. Smail sealed the win with an ENG.

"It could've been a different game, that was a big break at that point," Vanbiesbrouck said. "It took a bit of the life out of them. Everybody was going to think they were tied, but when it doesn't happen, you have a tendency to let down. We took advantage of that, especially in the second period."

GAME DAY THREAD MUSIC

"Bad Boys Get Spanked" by The Pretenders

MiamiScreamingEagles · Oct 9, 2013

Phoenix made roster moves and lineup adjustments for Thursday's game as indicated in post #1.

Mason is the likely goalie tonight. Phoenix played last night in Detroit.

Gustafsson, Gill and Newbury appear to be the scratches again tonight; that will be confirmed near game-time.

Flyers' practice schedule:

FRI: 10:30 am ET at Skatezone in Voorhees (optional skate).
SAT: 11:30 am ET in Detroit.
SUN: None scheduled.

Nash · Oct 9, 2013

Last year was painful. The line juggling at the start of the season contributed to a terrible start for Giroux. The same damn thing is happening this year. I know it's early and I should give Berube some leeway, but I really don't like what he has done with the first line. Hartnell and Simmonds are similar styles. Having two net crashers on a line with G just seems awfully dense. I'm not sure I even like it on the PP as it limits most passing to G/Jake/Timmo, and I think that is too easy for the opposition to only worry about blocking 2 passing lanes for the most part.

I still don't know why it took Laviolette so long to realize that Voracek & Giroux should play together, nor why he would break them up after how they looked last year. Of all the forwards that Giroux played with, the biggest impact on his Corsi numbers is Jake. Link

To me the lines would be much better balanced if Hartnell & Simmonds were on separate lines:
Hartnell-Giroux-Voracek
Schenn-Lecavalier-Simmonds
Talbot-Couturier-Read

Keep Schenn & Couturier on separate lines. I know they had success in the AHL, but they don't have that in the NHL and their numbers show it. Most importantly though is stop juggling the lines and give them time to get some chemistry.

dingbathero · Oct 9, 2013

Keep the ball rollin'

LOVE the music choice!

haha

Domino666 · Oct 9, 2013

I would love to see Read or Voracek on the first line please and thank you

Should be a W. Will it be? Who knows.

Cyborg LeClair · Oct 9, 2013

I'll be at this game! My first Flyers game since Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals in 2010!!

Can't wait, I hear it's dollar dog night too (i'm gonna try and beat Coatse's record)

Hopefully I'm a good luck charm cause last time Giroux scored in OT. I'm hoping to see him get his first point(s) of the season on Friday!

LegionOfDoom91 · Oct 9, 2013

Hopefully they can beat up on a weak team on a road trip two time zones out.

If Rosehill plays there is zero chance it's the best 4th line in the division, much less the NHL.

FlyTimmo · Oct 9, 2013

I'd really like to see Gus play on Friday. Why do we put Meszaros on the powerplay?

enforcer -good faceoff center-fighter who hit hard can score 15 goal
lol watch pens and huricannes

RoDu · Oct 9, 2013

Phoenix is pretty sound defensively, will be a test for the offensively impotent Flyers

Rinaldo hasn't even eclipsed the 5 goal mark let alone 15. Hell he only has 5 goals in 102 career NHL games. When did he suddenly become a 15 goal scorer?

I like Rinaldo & think he's a solid 4th liner but he brings basically zero offense let alone 15 goals.

Curufinwe · Oct 9, 2013

Maybe he means 15 in his career.

Rinaldo is NOT a 15 goal scorer. Rosehill is basically not an NHL player.

So we have a decent 4th line center and a guy who hits hard. Not sure how that eclipses Boston's 4th line, for instance, or even trumps Pittsburgh.

Now, Lappy, Betts, and Powe were a great 4th line.

Roo Mad Bro · Oct 9, 2013

Wonder who gets the start in goal.

ok 15 is high but this years i think he can score 7-10 goals

i take rosehill-hall-rinaldo over thornton-campbell-paille

Curufinwe · Oct 9, 2013

I was OK with them not resigning Gagne when I thought he wanted $2m, but now maybe it would be worth giving him half that just so they can replace Rosehill with Talbot on the 4th line.

Well you're probably the only person who would.

Such a great line on a great team. Miss those guys and glad to see Lappy as a coach.

With that being said I actually love to see Rosehill on this team in the regular season. With a player like Rinaldo checking everything that moves having Rosehill out there takes a lot of heat off of Rinaldo and lets him play his game better. As long as he can play defense and keep up with the play I am fine with him. Come playoff time he will be benched.

One thing I am looking forward to this game is to see how much chemistry the Schenn/Vinny/Voracek line has again. They looked good last game. Sharp passes from Vinny and Voracek so Schenn has to keep getting in good position and putting in some goals.

And one other thing I am looking for is to see Hartnell crash the net more on even strength play. He may have a good slap shot from the slot but that doesn't mean that is the only spot he can play on offense. Let him be there on the pp sure because that frees up more people, but come time for even strength I like him better in front of the net causing havoc.

Either way lets get another win :yo:

I am one of the people wanting Gagne back to put with Couts. Gagne/Couts/Read would be looking a lot better than Talbot/Couts/Read and it would have done a lot for his development on the offensive side.

daynus · Oct 9, 2013

i just wanna thank MSE
