Gonna need a big game from King Biscuit Time and they can't get outshot 35-13 too often and expect to win, especially against a team with the firepower San Jose has.

Tyler Kennedy (healthy)

Well, at least that's one less surefire goal they'll give up.

I hate Tyler Kennedy, he always scores on us.

The Flames have 2 bloggers on here!?!?

Hoping the boys have a good night on faceoffs -- San Jose's a totally different team if they're dominating you on the draw. If Thornton's killing it, it's just tough.

Would love to get one point tonight. Won't even be greedy and pretend like I expect two. Get one, first.

If the shot differential is the same as the LA game in favor of the opposition tonight, you can pretty much guarantee a different outcome then the LA game. Unless the goaltender plays out his mind. This SJ team has a lot more firepower then LA.

Morning, Gents.

Flyers gonna whip up a Sharknado tonight.

Book it.

If the flyers give up any prospects/picks for Ron freaking hainsey I'll be pissed. The young players ESP the forwards are the best players on the team and should be a good group for awhile. We need as many d prospects as possible

Not that the Flyers can't win, but I would put the odds in favor of SJ to win tonight. But hey what do I know, I thought Denver was going to roll in the Super Bowl!

Exactly, the last thing we need is another 3-6 defender, we already have 7 of them.

Doubt that Hainsey would cost too much. I'd be interested in him, he's a solid two way defenseman with decent mobility. It'd probably be a fairly cheap upgrade.

Yea i thought denver too... But defense wins championships, as long as the qb protects the football.

I doubt anyone predicted the absolute destruction we saw last night.

It's a 5th round pick or below I'd be fine with it.

It would really create a logjam on defense though, unless Meszaros is leaving.

They'd have to move somebody out, for sure. But IMO, Hainsey would be an upgrade on what they have out there now, and would probably be a good partner for Streit.

Grossmann for Hainsey?

The sad thing is if the Flyers had the cap space they could have signed him as a FA in early September. But because of Pronger's contract they had to wait until after training camp to sign an eighth defensemen - Hall Gill.

Personally, I'd do that. Doubt the Flyers would.

I thought Seattle would win. I was surprised it was a blowout. They matched up well with Denver.

It's not so much the shots against (usually the losing team outshoots the winner), but 13 SOG is horrific.

Well Laughton's a bust (heck, he couldn't even captain Canada to a medal), Morin and his penchant for turning hockey sticks into javelins will have him suspended 900 games in the NHL, and Hagg was out for the WJC GWG against. So, really, we wouldn't be losing much.

Now, if we gave up Akeson on the other hand...
