Ready to play at some point?

sestito adds a lot of grit. and i thought shelley played quite well, too.

I liked everybody's play today. I thought Sestito did a great job.

The Flyers FB page is tearing Bryz a new bumhole.

My only concern is if you were to play Boston in a seven game series can the Flyers defense hold up playing two rookies (Bourdon and Gustafsson).
- stveshdy

they might need to rotate lilja in there in the playoffs. i really like the contributions of bourdon and gusty so far. i didn't realize how quick gusty is. very, very fast. and he shows a lot of poise and patience with the puck under pressure.

I really hope Sestito earned a permanent stay here. The kid will get better with time and we could have one heckuva third/fourth line guy.

In defense of cough those people, Sestito hasn't been in the lineup all year either But yea, I feel good about this game I really do despite the outcome. I feel even better about our chances in a series against Boston than I did 5 weeks ago that's for sure.

Yea, but Rinaldo gives you what Sestito did today.

My concern in a seven game series is even if they can play them like this, would anyone be alive still by game 4.

Yes and no. I don't see Rinaldo holding up against Lucic or throwing checks on Chara every chance he gets.

which is why if we can get a Gill or a Gleason our chances become much better

Yea, you might have a point there. Sestito is a much taller player.

I don't know I think you're comparing a shotgun to a bazooka. I mean Rinaldo isn't gonna take a run at Chara like Sestito did. That and didn't he send someone through the air again. My lord I'd rather play against Rinaldo than that Sasquatch.

When your making the money Bryz is people expect him to give up nothing more than a goal per game.

Yes and no. I don't see Rinaldo holding up against Lucic or throwing checks on Chara every chance he gets.

I agree with Sesitio in he can go pound for pound with Chara and Lucic, He is big enough so he wont get pushed around

Yeah, he turned on the jets a couple of times today when I was worried about a break and broke it up. I am happy with them.

It was a very entertaining game. And I have to say losing in the shootout is a heck of a lot better than I expected when I left the house. They never gave up. They played physical. And Hartnell is a berserker with sudden depths unplumbed now. Five in two games? Sheesh.

he did exactly what i hoped.

Ill take my chances with our AHL guys against theirs by that point

I forget the player, but he had an opportunity to bury someone in what would've definitely been boarding and a likely suspension and he let up. His play is a 180 from the preseason.

Read and Giroux I can understand. Simmonds is a puzzling choice. So to speculate it's one of two things. Either based on results in practice. Or rewarding Simmonds for his play. He has been a horse along the wall, and at the net, and was the same in today's game.
- MJL

I think I'd have gone Couturier in the shootout. But I can't say I expect to win many shootouts ever.

Ill stay away from the Flyers FB site, I might catch some of the stupid getting spewed on that crap

- JoeRussomanno

Oh, I meant Flyers. The Bruins are much larger.

lol later on, im gonna leave soon to hit the gym

One thing the Flyers have going for them is depth. They played without alot of guys today and still did a great job considering Boston is pretty healthy.
