Greetings:

 

The O and B are a heavy favorite.  The Rangers are a -2 on goal differential and haven't played well in back-to-backs.

Let's hope the home team scores early and keeps the Rangers chasing the game.

It's frustrating that coming into the season, it wasn't supposed to be like this.   

Raffl, Patrick, Laughton, Lindblom.... all out.  

Andreoff, Vorobyev, NAK....all in.  

 

That lineup - even while adding back in Raffl and Laughton - looks like a #6-9 finish in the conference and a first round exit.  

 

Not saying that's all bad, as it will get the kids some playoff experience, it's just hard to not look at the "what could have been."    Because with a healthy Patrick at 3C, health Lindblom on the wing and Raffl and Laughton on the 4th line.....oh what could have been.

12 Michael Raffl - 21 Laughton - 18 Tyler Pitlick

 

Now that is one that I could see going to the 2nd or even 3rd round depending on health and opponent.  

 

What.....could....have....been......

I'm just glad they're playing a team I hate for the holidays.

 

I know right after upsetting the Cowgirls. What a early Christmas present.

 

Now they get a chance to beat the Rags and then beat the Giants to win the NFC East. I sure hope they can finish.

 

It would be nice to get some injured players back for real.

Yeah; I guess we have to ask some questions about long-term loss of Patrick and Morin.  Candidly, I doubt we see either one in a Flyer uniform again.  The "souring" of two first rounders in relatively short order has to hurt.  The sickness-injury plague doesn't help.

Hey Howie - 

I think Patrick is back in a Flyer's uniform next October at the latest, but I'm still holding out hope for January/Feb this year.   There have been some examples of players having migraine problems and getting a handle on them.  

 

Unfortunately, I think Morin has seen his last days in the NHL for any team.   I feel bad for the guy.

Re: Patrick, I just saw this on the internet...interesting:

Don't play on an empty stomach, drink plenty of fluids, and avoid head injuries.....boy how the heck do you do that in hockey?

A 5-3 Flyers victory coming up...Mr.hot&cold JVR stays hot with the game winning goal. 2 goals from the new Frost/Farabee/Vorachek line...which I'm calling "2 Rooks & Dr.Hook" line...and at least one...maybe 2 spirited bouts between Lemieux and Andreoff.
