Yeah, and he stopped the whining/blubbering to the refs after every play. I give the guy enormous credit.

When he does complain now, I have noticed, he does it like Gretzky did...quietly and under his breath. Gretzky got his message across very effectively without a big show of emotion, and refs appreciate that. Last thing anyone wants is a guy gesturing and obviously giving him the business

Spoiler for tomorrow's musings:

One thing about the Flyers. They are NOT afraid to play from behind, even against top teams. They never quit and never stop competing.

If you look at their games against Rangers and Boston, they may have a poor W-L record but they came back to tie Rangers twice in last two games (before 3rd period meltdowns), came back on Boston in each of last two games (losing both via shootout). They've come back in Penguins, come back on Detroit after giving up first goal (winning once and losing once).

The best part of all, this weekend, Bryzgalov stole them points.

I don't know if Flyers can catch Penguins or Rangers at this point, but I do know that if they get their blueline reasonably healthy and some balanced scoring, this can be a real fun spring if Bryzgalov keeps playing at this level.

i don't know if i am alone in this observation but it looks like he is competing harder. Really going after those second chances, tracking the puck better- especially on deflections, he just didn't look very interested to me earlier in the season now he looks like he is the hardest working player on the ice. just my 2 cents.

He does battle harder. IMO that's because of increased or renewed confidence-not just in himself, but in hsi teammates.

2 points behind the Pens, 1 behind the Rangers. Just keep getting points, let the chips fall where they may

THe Flyers proved this weekend they can play with anybody. Only thing that seems to be lacking is putting together a solid 60mins of hockey.

And they did it with Shelley in the lineup. Just reading the first page of the thread, I thought it was going to be a loss.

Shelly was a waste of a roster spot

45 J. Shelley 04:38 Ice time

Two guys I would love to see return are Grossmann and Voracek. Homer needs to lock them up

You justify how having someone play 4minutes a night is worthwhile?

It doesn't need to be justified. It's a tired argument. They won the game. Pittsburgh has Tangradi who played just over 5 in the game.
