Believe me...I'm going with my head, not my heart. lol.
Avs have not played well without their leader....have some suspect goaltending, and the Flyers look like the winner tonight...


My teams won 4 in a row

....there were a lot of rumors swirling about a shake up and that seemed to light a fire under some asses....i don't know if you saw the game last night but Antropov was a menace out there....it helped that the NYR were asleep the entire game but still was a good effort from TOR....they are still having problems getting their PP going (i think they are like dead last in the league at around 12% at least last time i looked) which is amazing considering McCabe and Kaberle on the blue line and then a more than capable group up front. TOR whole problem with that team, at least IMO, is that they don't have enough guys who want to get dirty in the corners and go to work....too many perimeter guys floating around looking for someone else to dig the pucks out of the corners and do all the work for them. That is why they lose games they shouldn't when the other team really comes to play and they don't have anyone to match that tenacity. I refuse to bet on them for that very reason. They have playoff talent, but i don't know if they have the grit to get there.

yeah...I would tend to agree with all of that....and this team is s hard to figure out...so up and down.....at least Toskala is playing better.

Go Flyers lol

JML, I'm looking for a viable third goalie in my fantasy league because I somehow end up with every injured goalie in the F'n NHL. Would you suspect the recent good play of Toskala to be the "real Toskala" or will he return to his early season form?

yeah...I would say it's a good time to give him a chance.....he's now the undisputed #1, and has been playing well....

gl tonight JML ... like the Blues tonight to rebound from the Calgary game, but for some reason not as confident in the Flyers as they have been pretty inconsistent lately, but they have been road beasts so I hope you hit that bet bro

they really miss gagne......he was a point a game guy this year and it is messing up their line combos with all the suspensions as well. lupol has been invisible since all the line shuffing started. hopefully gagne gets back soon and they quit losing idiots to suspension. gagne/briere/knuble had some good chemistry going to start the year, as did richards/lupol/umberger.........

[JohnnyMapleLeaf]

Yeah....Flyers have had a weird schedule....8 straight games alternating home/away.....wtf is up with that? BUT...they've won all the road games, and lost all the home dates. Just hoping that continues tonight...especially against a team struggling without their captain!

GL guys...
