OK, Scott "Pink Eye" Hartnell will play tonight against the Florida Panthers.

So will Claude "Nexium" Giroux.

Don't count on Riley Cote. That right hand is still bothering him.

One point is all the Flyers need to get into the playoffs here. What is of more concern to me, however, is how this team looks over the Final Four ... they have been utterly inconsistent in the past two weeks.

Some of the Flyers seem to think there is s switch you flip from "regular season" mode to "playoff" mode and that is not the case. If the playoffs began tonight, this team is NOT ready.

Marty Biron has a 3.87 GAA and an .833 save percentage in his last 4 games ... Another indication this team is not ready.

Flyers have to show us something impressive in these Final Four and get their skates going in the right direction.
