Still no expectation that Lecavalier returns tonight?

I think Simmonds has a big game tonight.

Flyers just dont match up well against them. Also Tampa has hated the Flyers for years but the Flyers dont really care. Tampa is playing a rivalry game while the Flyers are heading in as "just another game".

While I don't understand what you're getting at or trying to say, the Flyers shouldn't approach this as just another game. Not only should tonight be a measuring stick, this entire streak and how long they continue it should be another measuring stick as to how long they can keep up this sort of play. None of these games are gimmie games. They're playing some of the best the league have to offer all in a row.

Phantoms went 0-9 on the PP without Ghost, Manning and Alt.

I didn't see the game but from what I read Hagg had tons of ice time and played very well.

Ok, if Berube scratches ghost I'll be pissed

Sounds like good news and bad news.

What I'm saying is...part of the reason the Flyers struggle against the Lightning is because Tampa always brings their best against the Flyers. I lived in Tampa before and in that city... they hate the Flyers and this is a big game for them. While the Flyers dont see it that way. Its just a chance to earn 2 points. They dont bring enough intensity against Tampa to win. Period.

I won't be. Manning is probably better equipped to play in the NHL right now. Ghost struggled at home against Detroit and LA; playing in Tampa is an even bigger challenge.

I think he needs more minutes and should be allowed to play his game. They are taking him away from that and it is effecting his play.

IMHO, He's played better than Schenn. Scratch Schenn, bring in Manning, win Stanley Cup.

Is tonight the night Emery regresses to the mean? I hope not.

I'm excited to see Drouin play. He has oodles of skill. That other guy, Steve Stamos (I think he's John's brother) does too or so I hear.

Tonight Emery will know what it feels like to be Mason this season. I hope I'm wrong.

Let me rephrase.

Don't call ghost up to scratch him. If you're going to scratch him, send him to the phantoms. He straight up was told this was a "game by game" thing anyway.

Scratching him shouldn't even he part of the game plan. He either plays in the NHL or he plays in the AHL. Period.

In his two games so far Ghost has got easier minutes than LSchenn, got far fewer minutes, and done a worse job at creating/preventing shots.

Let me rephrase.

You think, maybe Manning is gonna play versus Tampa, and they give ghost some easier minutes versus the Panthers

I won't say it isn't possible.

If Manning plays tonight I'd rather see them roll out 7D

Which is moronic because Ghost is light years better than Manning. sheesh!

I don't think this statement shines a very positive light on to the Flyers. If they simply choose not to bring their "A" to and against Tampa, why bother showing up at all? I live in Detroit and there is no other building the Flyers have struggled in more then Joe Louis arena but wouldn't say that the Flyers don't give all they can give in these types of match ups.
