Games at 1pm on a Saturday are always a great thing. For one, it makes it socially acceptable to be drinking before lunch. It also has the potential to line up the rest of your Saturday to be spectacular. A win today against the Carolina Hurricanes and the Flyers continue climbing back into the playoff picture. The team just replaced ex-Flyer Rod the Bod as Captain with their best player, perennial All-Star Eric Staal. What did he end up doing?

OKT and Bartulis - Paul Holmgren is starting to scare me with all his 5,6 defenseman talk. I think OKT and Oskars have been decent with the puck. Sure they get turned inside out in one-on-one's occasionally, but they're the third pairing. That's bound to happen.
