While I am not upset with the decision of Craig Berube to go with Rob Zepp over Ray Emery tonight against the Tampa Bay Lightning, I am surprised.
Berube has been a pretty big advocate of Emery.
And no matter how you look at this, from Emery’s viewpoint, this is a slap in the mask.

Good news for Flyers fans.

Best news of the say, week or this month, was the unexpected early return of Flyers captain Claude Giroux on the ice this morning at Skate Zone.
He was to have missed up to two weeks with a groin/abdominal/hip flexor injury – take your pick. It was six days off the ice for him.

There was no real advancement in terms of “news” today during the Kimmo Timonen news conference.
Flyers GM Ron Hextall said in August he had to prepare for the possibility Timonen would not play. That’s why the club signed Michael Del Zotto.
