Flyers Look to Rectify the “Old Fashioned Ass-Kicking”

When Mike Richards met with the media after Thursday’s 5-1 loss to the Canadiens, he proclaimed to the media that they suffered an “old fashioned ass-kicking” and would need to rebound in Game 4 to re-establish a series lead. Today at 3 PM the Flyers look to do exactly that to avoid going back to

The motor is back. The emotional leader of this team...is back. Just when this team needed a shot in the arm, it's getting one in the shape of a shot blocking rip rockin' energy blastin' chirpin' grindin' don't tread on me, blood sweat and beers' machine. Montreal proved they wanted to make this a series.  They brought a butter knife to a bazooka fight. Let's Go Flyers.

Flyers Playoff Gameday: Game 4 vs. Canadiens

MINI-PREVIEW (12:00 PM) The Flyers look to regroup today at 3 PM at the Bell Center. To a man each Flyer player was disgusted with their play in game 3 and are determined to get back to their strengths which have carried them this far into these playoffs. Ian Laperriere and Jeff Carter both took part in a spirited high tempo practice yesterday. Lappy seems more likely to return today on a

And after the third game he rose again, in fullfilment of the scriptures. In my various travels over the past three weeks I've seen a lot of the world but never once lost track of the Flyers. In Macondo when a passerby told us the Flyers won game 6 in the Boston series we celebrated with bag pipes and sacrificed a pig in honor of the 3-3 tie. In Port Happiness it was easier when a local came running into town proclaiming the Flyers won the series 4 to 3 - we just drank champagne from breakfast to siesta and then well into the next morning. It was a matter of fact when we found a message in a bottle while at sea and discovered that the Flyers had mercilessly clawed the hearts from the Canadiens with a 6-0 win in the opening game of the Eastern Conference Finals, but when they came through with another shutout in game 2 we ate all the calaloo on board as well as drank all the Appleton Rum. It was only yesterday morning when we decided to end our journey and head back to where we were needed. The news of a 5-1 win wreaked of the fates' disappointment in our abandonment

Poor Hockey; Careless Chinese Delivery

  EVERYTHNG went bad last night... (Courtesy: YardBarker) Some days, we show up to work, and things do not go right. Sometimes we see it happening and do nothing. Other times, we’re totally unaware of our own mistakes Last night, the Flyers came out flat, for the second straight game. This time, Montreal made them pay.

Breaking news: Carter out, Laperriere in?

Judging from the line combinations at practice right now, Jeff Carter will sit out tomorrow night's Game 4 and Ian Laperriere will play. As I type, Carter is centering a line with wingers Andreas Nodl and Riley Cote, while Laperriere is playing right wing on a line with Blair Betts and Darroll Powe. That means Carter, Nodl and Cote are likely to be scratches tomorrow night. I'm also told Carter brought just two sticks with him to Montreal and did not plan on playing in either Game 3 or 4. He is targeting his return on Monday night in Game 5 in Philadelphia. The Flyers line combos today look like this: GAGNE RICHARDS CARCILLO HARTNELL BRIERE LEINO VAN RIEMSDYK GIROUX ASHAM POWE BETTS LAPERRIERE Defense pairs remained the same with Pronger and Carle; Timonen and Coburn; and Parent and Krajicek
