Game 2 Preview: Colorado Avalanche at Philadelphia Flyers

Yes, the tacky graphics are continuing...at least until some kind soul steps in and gives us something better. I have decided I have filled out the old table that we used to use for the last time. That thing was more annoying than...uh, the Philadelphia Flyers.
(segue)
The Avalanche are in Philadelphia tonight to take on the Flyers. It's the home opener for the Flyers, and they'll be celebrating their Stanley Cup failure by raising their Eastern Conference Championship banner tonight...because first runners up are people too. The Flyers knocked off the Penguins on opening night in Pittsburgh and then lost in overtime on Saturday to the Blues. For Philadelphia, goalie Michael Leighton is injured, which means the team is going with a tandem of Brian Boucher and Sergei Bobrovsky - whom you all remember as backstopping the Novokuznesk Mettalurg in the KHL last year. None of the three have ever beaten the Avs (bad omen, there). In the bad news injury department, beloved former Avalanche Ian Laperriere is out for the year - and possibly his career - due to injury issues. In the good news injury department, Flyer defensemen Chris Pronger is still recovering from douchitis (officially listed as knee surgery) and is listed as questionable for tonight. Frankly, I think he's always been a little questionable. That line is funnier if you picture Groucho Marx delivering it. Or, perhaps not.
The Avalanche are coming off of a big win against the "other" Stanley Cup finalists on Thursday. It was a high-flying affair with both teams displaying lots of speed and not a ton of hitting and it will be interesting to see how the dynamics change against Philadelphia. Peter Mueller and David Koci remain out (Skipper Joe indicated that Koci is still a few weeks away although he has been practicing). Adam Foote (maintenance?) and Kyle Cumiskey (groin) both skipped practice on Saturday but returned to the ice yesterday. Coming off the win on Thursday, it may be unlikely for any big lineup changes, but there could be some minor tweaks (such as Jonas Holos replacing Ryan Wilson or Philippe Dupuis replacing Mark Olver). Craig Anderson is the confirmed starter tonight, and Sacco will then decide whether to go with Anderson or Budaj the next night in Detroit.

Flyers and Red Wings back to back. Two teams I wish would be hit by meteors at the same time. A back to back sweep would make me happy…but I’ll take 1 of 2
I thought it was pretty Osgood to take a Bertuzzi behind the Draper, but it ended up blowing the Abdelkader of my Kronwall.
If it’s 1 of 2, we’d better flipping win tomorrow…
Forever grateful that Joe Sakic isn't a raging dick hole like Brett Favre.

It’s both, failure to use the reply button and/or replying to the wrong comment.
Now replying to the wrong thread or even the wrong website is an entirely different thing. IIRC those are called BoB’s or Bibby’s

I'd like to see Budja play tonight
So Andy will be ready to go against DET, but I guess we should be fine considering we haven’t played since thursday. I gotta work til 10pm so I’ll miss all of this one but no way in hell I’m missing tomorrow’s vs Detroit.
GO AVS!
Going up against Jimmy howard tomorrow night, the weaker goaltender is going to play tonight if you wanted to put the backup in tonight, no offense to Sergei Boucher or Brian Bobrovski.

In the story linked by Beachie below, Frei showed that Andy’s numbers in the second half of back to backs last year were just a tad better than his overall season stats, but the Avs record was 3-6-3. So Andy was good but the team wasn’t.

In the good news injury department, Flyer defensemen is still recovering from douchitis (officially listed as knee surgery)
So are all the defensemen out? This could make for an easy game!
I think David was just making sure everyone was paying attention. Funny enough, I read that, but immediately knew who it was. Only now did I see that he didn’t put anyone in there.

Also, Boucher was missing the R. And he apparently misspelled the Russian team name as well.
All and all, it’s cool though. He’s corrected when I’ve had grammer/typing errors too. Like when the Arby’s sauce makes the keyboard sticky.

I love Budaj
“I would like to play more than last year, but I have to focus on my game,” Budaj said. “You never know what will happen. This is a big road trip for us and we have two back-to-backs, so hopefully I’ll get a chance to play. I just have to be ready for the next game. I can’t be looking three or four games ahead. You can’t take those decisions personally. You’re part of the team. Your job is to help the team win hockey games.”
And apparently, this is why they re-signed him.
Sacco called Budaj “a consummate professional. I’m sure at times he gets frustrated. If he wasn’t a competitor, that wouldn’t come out in him. Overall, his attitude has been outstanding. That’s part of being a team — players understanding roles, what’s good for the team. . . . Peter’s a big part of this hockey team, and he’s been great with that.”

Bitch, give me your lunch money.
this was a great line:
Facing a noon charter departure for Philadelphia, the players exited the ice en masse, with infamous rink rat Ryan O’Reilly having to settle for staying out all of 10 seconds longer than anyone else.

Should be interesting
Bob drops down a lot and too early, at times, so if the Avs get him moving and aim high they could produce big time. Unfortunately they probably will just skate around alot and throw the puck on net trying to bang it home… Which may not be the best approach.

I wish there was more word regarding Hishon. Looking at the Attack website, in their review of the game against the Sting, they say:

And in the review of the Battalion game they say:
Already playing without star center Joey Hishon

Flyers fan here. Look for free runs into our zone with our goalie keeping us in the game until we either get a lucky bounce or find a way to blow it. For all the talk(much deserved) about our goalie carousel it has been by far the best part of our team so far. Our defense has been a disappointment, but that is without Captain Elbows. This team has looked flat for most of its first 2 games so It’ll be interesting to see if playing at home changes that.
I look forward to seeing Duchene, I really think the kid is going to be a monster.

Look for free runs into our zone with our goalie keeping us in the game until we either get a lucky bounce or find a way to blow it.
You sure you didn’t cheer for the Avs last season?
The Avs are under the cap floor, and others laugh at them, but when the Tornado comes, they'll be the only safe ones.

Welcome! I’m hoping for a clean game with neither team getting injured.
Boy I wish Bordeleau was here for this game.
Winnik is a fucking Win!

I take it you do not believe this will be a clean game?
The future is already here. It's just unevenly distributed.

It’s the Flyers. Even without “Captain Elbows” there’s bound to be some douchecapades on the ice.
Oh and Welcome Ed.

Apparently Pronger might play. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t find his antics amusing, but if he wasn’t on my team I would hate him. Tonight you’ll get to see what happens in the offensive zone when you put Dan Carcillo on a line with a 46 goal scorer(Jeff Carter) and our best player(Mike Richards). Here is a hint: Nothing.
BTW, every time Claude Giroux touches the puck pay attention. I know he is going against you guys but you can appreciate his moves if you are a hockey fan. He is basically Forsberg lite, the kid is a future star.
One more thing. I wanted Craig Anderson in the offseason before last year, and after watching Michael Leighton ignore the fact that Patrick Kane shot the puck at him in OT of game 6 I’d like to tell Flyers Management told you so.

Cody Mac could stand on Winnik’s shoulders (and scowl)?
Matt Duchene, better at being Pavel Datsyuk than Pavel Datsyuk!
Yum.... cheese.
Hahahah, that could work. Throw Stewie in there and I’d be set.

After watching the Flyers’ first two games, I’m agreeing about the defense. They haven’t looked too sharp but like you said, that’s without Pronger. I’m hoping things continue for tonight’s game since I think it’s the Avs best chance for them to win (cuz I don’t see them shutting down the Flyers’ forwards). However, after tonight the Flyers are free to go back to their winning ways.
Only 1 hr remaining
Also, for anyone needing a video stream, NHL.com is giving a free trial of Gamecentre until the 24.
I’ll be listening to the radio too, I’m going to be on a train while the game is on… and their internet is rather slow.
