Today it was announced that both Chris Pronger and captain Mike Richards will represent Team Canada this February at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. For Richards, it will be his first Olympic appearance whereas Pronger will be playing his fourth. It has been talked about for the past few weeks that Richards was close to being on the bubble due to the Flyers performance the past month. However, director of player personal Steve Yzerman clearly saw what Richards brought to the table regardless of how his team was performing. The same can be said for Canada’s alternate captain, Pronger. The native of Dryden, Ontario, will be playing Olympic hockey for Canada for the fourth time (1998, 2002, 2006).

... I know this is a stretch but this is a comparison that a lot of us will find hard to swallow. Could we be like last years Pens team? Came into season with high expectations - check Poor performance to start season - check Out of the playoffs prior to coaching change - check Coaching change - check Turn around under new coach - TBD Make playoffs - TBD Win in playoffs - TBD Hoist the Cup - TBD Look we are just a good streak away from being back in the middle of things. The best teams in the East have 50+ points and there are 10 teams within 8 points of each other. This is the time for the Flyers to move to the top of this pack
