Yeah, he hasn't had a groin injury in 7years.

Be gracious, tell them thank you, and decline with the truth, then see a doctor for that stomach issue.

Just listening to CSN TP in particular, .....wonder why the Flyers are reluctant to putting Gustafsson on LTIR so they can bring up another defenseman? If a defenseman goes down, their options are to send someone to the phantoms, put someone on waivers, or put Gustafsson on LTIR Unless there is a trade in the works? If thinking about the big picture here, something has to be be in the works with Schenn nearing a return also.

The Flyers website has a video clip of the filming of the Flyers 24/7 commercial.

Here is another gem quote of Jagr's “What a signing!” Jagr replied, laughing. “He’s got nine years left, right?

Yes Rinaldo played after his fight, but he only had one short shift in the third period. Only played just over 4min the entire game.

Update: Lucic has a 1:00pm meeting with Shanahan. ........how many games? 3?

Interesting....I wonder if Shanny will be taking an extra look at this? Or maybe the injury is just said to be a concussion SO Shanny takes a deeper look at this? I think the league should be taking a look. Lucic did nothing to avoid maximum contact with Miller.

I highly doubt there will be an outright ban on fighting in the league. The league wants it, the players want it, and the fans want it. What they have done though is that designated players who only fight and have poor hockey skills are basically being removed from the rosters. While increasing the value on players who can and will drop the gloves on occasion. It may feel like there is less fighting because we can't predict when a fight or which individuals will be fighting on a given night. I'm not sure the numbers though have actually dropped, but maybe, so a study may be interesting.

The game has all ready changed. I think you have to ask the question what teams play every night with a legit heavyweight?

I think Bryzgalov is very aware that he becomes casual during games when his team has a lead and when he goes through periods of time with few shots on net. He himself said that that is an issue for him. Hopefully some of these late goals that he lets in early in this season will help him focus better as the season wears on.

what I've seen of Florida this year is the team has been tenacious pursuing the puck and their fast. Should be a good game.

This has been the longest week. The Flyers and Florida Panthers have identical 8-4-3 records for 19 points in the standings through the first 15 games of the season … Both the Flyers (3-0-2) and Panthers (2-0-3) are undefeated in regulation in their last five games as well. Versteeg leads the Panthers in scoring with 17pts. (Why couldn't he have played this way for us last spring?) However Upshall may not be playing, out of the lineup with an upperbody injury. Hope the team is focused and refreshed.

Clemmenson is just coming back from knee surgery, he was the back-up to Theodore in the last game or so. I thought prior to his injury in training camp he was slated to be the starter, Markstrom and Theodore have played well. Maybe he plays his first game of the year tomorrow.

Rupert is suspended indefinitely at this point for his vicious slash. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cbsiHPxZfY&feature=youtu.be&hd=1 http://www.broadstreethockey.com/2011/11/12/2556838/nick-cousins-slash-flyers-prospects#storyjump Nick Cousins seems like a decent Flyers prospect with the ability to get under the skin of the opposition.

I doubt Leighton will be traded. It would be so much easier to trade for a goalie all ready in the NHL, such as Nabokov or Clemmenson.

Rehab, would have been a better term to use than limbo.

I don't think there is any specific policy and it probably varies from team to team situation to situation. Remember when Lindros was banned from the team while injured? However players such as Pronger and Timonen have traveled. While trying to figure out how Gustafsson's injury is preventing him from being with the team I found this: euroflyers Teemu H Erik Gustafsson is out this week with a wrist injury. Will see a doctor today (Nov 9) to determine if it needs to be operated. Thus my guess is he is in limbo. If he has had or will have surgery, then he goes on IR and frees space to call up another defender.....(which is a problem, because of the need to clear waivers for Bartulis, and Walker. If not and a d-man is still needed then he will probably have go back to the Phantoms to make cap space.

Meszaros did have wrist surgery in the off season. So it is possible that it is just taking him a bit longer to get back to normal.

Surprisingly Gustafsson didn't make the trip to Florida. I would have thought with the team building activities planned Gustafsson wouldhave been participating. http://www.csnphilly.com/hockey-philadelphia-flyers/news/Gustafsson-playing-like-younger-Kimmo?blockID=592238&feedID=704

Cake Anyone?

I think some of the problem has to lie with the Flyers defense and their own line changes. The defense needs to carry or pass the puck up the ice faster during these changes, thus not allowing Tampa to set themselves up in the 1-3-1. Our defense often tends to sit back waiting for the forwards to be in proper place before moving the puck up the ice. For what ever reason this sitting back to set up tends to happen more with Pronger.

hey blogger, nice blog. I think Avery is a nut case, but aside from that his play sparks more energy out of the Rangers. btw, are you in my BSH fhl? (Red Light District)

hopefully Gus will stay with the Flyers. if so, it will be interesting to see if he becomes the 6th d-man
