When did this guy start "looking" like the Hulk Hogan at games?
- stveshdy

That's a good question. He'd been doing it at least this season, if not last year too. Hard to remember back that far since he was hurt the whole last half of the season last year.

vanRiemsdyk should be back soon right? By the playoffs? I remember he got injured March 2nd and they said six weeks would be the worst case scenario, so that should mean he's close. The forward lines for the playoffs (if healthy), would look like this I'm assuming...

Hartnell-Giroux-Jagr
vanRiemsdyk-Briere-Simmonds
Talbot-Couturier-Voracek
Wellwood-Schenn-Read

That looks like a championship-type offense to me! They are so deep, it's rediculous.

What about the defense and goaltending? Thats whats most important come playoff time.

how about them pirates? you been to a game
- 2Real

Look at it this way, the Pirates have won exactly the same number of titles as the Eagles since 1979

yes actually. Went to 3 last year. It's a cheap afternoon on the town

I know he had to be pissed off when Hartnell stole his move.

Must say I am glad we have put our Carle and Shelley talk behind us and are focused on the Flyers vs. Pens series. Anyway you slice it, this saturday is going to be a prelude to the war that will be "Round 1". This series is going to be epic and I think will be the most entertaining for a first round series. poop is going to hit the fan and I think we are in for a real treat

I don't think you take Schenn off that line right now....they've been the best line the last couple weeks. I'm not sure where you put him, there will be injuries of course

I saw his face, Mr.Hulk did not look pleased one bit , oh well (frank) him

It's Bryz. The Pens blogger seems to think we could have a goalie controversy on hand. But it is soooooooo Bryz.

Grossman-Coburn
Carle-Timonen
Bourdon-Kubina
Bryzgalov 

I like their defense a lot when healthy and Bryzgalov is a stud. I hope they get Meszaros back at some point if they make a deep run. Even without him, they're playing extremely discipline on D and really sticking Lavvy's system.

Actually I don't think Saturday will have much fanfare at all.

Home ice obviously means nothing to these teams (Flyers 5-0 at CEC, Pens having good success at Wachovia during the playoffs)

I will say I am glad to have seen the Phillies win a Championship in my lifetime. I dunno if it will happen again but (frank) it I saw it and glad I saw A philly team bring home a championship

Some of the stuff, I think, will carry over into saturdays game. This is going to be a nasty series and thank god for it

Oh the series will be a blood bath, but Saturday will merely be a calm before the storm.

The best was how embarrassed his girlfriend looked to be with him.

Maybe think of that when he's putting on his yellow boa at the house sweetheart.

I would love for Hartnell to cut his facial hair like the Hulk (and dye it) for Saturdays game.

You can be sure that the Flyers did it just for you and all Islander fans out there. If you ask nicely, maybe Philly will shoot a puck into the Pens bench on Saturday at Brent Johnson to avenge Rick 'Glassjaw' DiPietro!
