Rangers lose, Devils tied... if they lose and we win Obviously itll have to be 1-0 in a shootout tonight), back in a playoff spot.

As long as Raffl and Giroux arent the first two shooters. Giroux does know that he can't pass during the shootout.. right?

I like that Minnesota played Rupp tonight in response to us playing Rosehill It's a joke that something like that needs to happen.

Rupp's not really an enforcer like Rosehill. He's actually in the NHL for reasons beyond his fists.

I guess. Our commentators were making comments on how they just dressed Rupp tonight after scratching him for X number of games in response to us playing Rosehill.

How the hell did pulock and nurse not get s team Canada invite while D Severson did?

Rupp isn't a goon. He will fight anyone who is relevant. He also decides SCF games, and Winter Classics.

Duh so the phantoms can make the playoffs..

It's possible...I know he left the team for a few days for personal reasons and has been used real sparingly...but Rupp is actually a decent grinder.

because McGinn doesnt show up every night

I dunno...Grossmannnnn has been such a monster tonight, he's earned a few extra N's on his name.

Quick goal to start the third, that would be nice.

Hard for anyone to "show up" against this team. I doubt anyone but Gretzky or Lemieux could do much on this game.

I know right..I mean why wont the Wild just let the Flyers do what they want?

Folks here do know that sometimes the opposing team plays a solid defensive game and that has nothing to do with players not showing up.

Sure, I'd trade him for an upgrade. But even if he is just average, he's still our best Dman, and I don't see why you would trade him and further downgrade us.

what does holding on to him gain us? nothing and maybe a lower draft pick

I heard Doc Emrick call him "Erikksson" at least 3 times. I had to actually double check and make sure some crazy transaction didn't happen before the game for either team, because I know neither has a player with an even similar last name to Erikksson.

Flyers PP would be nice.

What time does the game start?

I think you got a little carried away with that last n. Two extra is enough.

Doc's slipping a little. I was watching the NBCSN&Y feed for a few seconds, then I heard Pierre McGuire's voice.. and I went back to the Flyers feed.

Yeah sure getting two points and getting closer to a playoff position isn't much incentive
