Tim Panaccio: HUMONGOUS Week Ahead for Flyers

Tim Panaccio: HUMONGOUS Week Ahead for Flyers
- tpanaccio

All they can do is take care of their own kitchen. They played a good, hardworking team yesterday and largely matched the effort. That's a more encouraging sign than the clobbering they handed to the Caps.

As for Gagne, he's freed from the press box. I'm sure that's played a role for him, knowing that he can go out and play without worrying about being a scratch because the coach can't fit him.

Here, Gagne fits because of his style of play as well as his veteran leadership.

Four games for Harry what's-his-name. Now he can go back to the minors where he belongs for the rest of his career.

Sources tell me that Paul Holmgren & Peter Laviolette's plan for this year is to squeak into the playoffs at eighth in hopes of being this year's LA Kings...more to come

Why didn't Alfie get a game?
What was the difference between the Harry Z hit and the Neal hit from the playoffs last season other than the fact that the Neal hit was way later and way less of a suspension.

Oh wait..I know consistency, other then locking out every 10 years this league has none.

Think he's wondering why Neal and Zolnierczyk's nearly identical hits were worth 1 game to Neal and 4 games to Zolnierczyk.

Seems like a logical question, actually.

Right...What was the difference between this hit and the Neal hit?

13 goals.

13 goals.

Well that and the fact that Neal had been s"uspended once, fined once and warned twice by the NHL."

That's far less important than the 13 goals.

After starting 2-6-0 this team has gone 9-5-1 to get back to .500.


Big games against the Rangers and the Penguins this week are just what this team needs to bring up the intensity level and get into a playoff state of mind.


This is a very beatable Rangers team right now, and the Penguins are even worse at defense than we are!

You did better at addressing the blog title than Tim did. Nice!

what are your thoughts on Matt Cooke?

at least Cooke can play the game and do things, like be an effective PK guy and score 15 goals a year. Big difference between him and Henry what the hell is his name from Brown University
