Absolute must game tomorrow. You simply cannot lose games to teams like Edmonton if you want to make the playoffs.

I'm heading down with a guy who just transferred here from Edmonton. I'm 2-0 so far (Chicago and Hasnville) and hope it's 3-0.

By the way, tix on Stubhub were dirt cheap, and judging by things, you can move down a bit if you buy the cheap seats. If that's still the case, it may be worth going to check out McJesus.

Great Blog Bill, thank you.

Numbers and eye-test not withstanding. I'm of the opinion, from watching on tv and in person, that Mason will still be the guy to take the Flyers into and through the Playoffs if they have any chance of that.

In the end Mason is the better goaltender. He's been a 1A in the league, while Neuvirth has never been more than a 1B (otherwise how could the Flyers have signed him for a back-up salary). For now, though, it makes sense that Hakstol would ride the hot hand.

What do you think?

Thanks.

I dont see that being an issue after this season. We are the upward swing and the pens are crashing down soon.

Its been a little while since we won a cup.

are you getting a sense for my perspective on time?

I have yet to see a cup in philly. So I feel your pain

Here's the recap of what Hextall said at last night's STH meeting for those who missed it at the end of the last thread.

No. Doubt. Can't wait to see McDavid tomorrow, however.

But you knew, if McDavid came back and did much of anything, it was going to get blown up in the media North of the border.

I guess they need something to write about up there, because there will likely be a dearth of Canadian based teams in the playoffs this year. And by dearth, I mean possibly no teams.

Also, RE: Ghost. Eventually....Hextall might have to pay that guy. No use in giving Ghost's agent any help he doesn't need.

They need to dress Manning tomorrow, just to make Edmonton fans go apepoop.

I'd love to go tomorrow, but I don't think I can. Oh well, the drinks are much cheaper at home!

I like how he sort of high fives himself

As bill mentioned, I like that hexy isn't over-glorifying ghost like the Oilers did with Justin schultz. I think the league saw the same thing happen with Luke schenn too. Over glorify a young player, that player has a huge weight/pressure on their shoulders to become a superstar.

Wow... must've been pretty funny whatever ws said lol who is this fella?
