Versus
Here is what I remember about the Flyers.
First, every night there is an NHL game on Versus, the Flyers is always one of the teams playing. Why the hell not, since Versus is owned by Comcast, that owns the Flyers?
Second, the Sharks actually swept the Flyers last season. I remember the game in San Jose much better. Someone called me the last minute and offered close-to-front row tickets behind the penalty box. Dany Heatley was hot at the time, and going to the game, I grabbed one of the many hideous baseball hats with corporate logo that we own in case Dany pulls another hat trick. (Remember how he easily he'd get them when he first got to San Jose?) That turned out to be a wise move, as Heatley did score another hatty, allowing my household to get rid of another ugly hat in the sweetest way any hockey fan can. The Sharks went on to win that game 6-3. This wasn't the last I saw of my hat - I saw it again on the ice during the game highlights on NHL Network when I got home.
Third, I remember that prior to that game in San Jose, Flyers were playing well. After the big loss in San Jose, things started to fall apart, and just two weeks later, they fired John Stevens. Maybe it was my hat? Fourth, I remember that the Flyers had to win a shootout (thanks in part to our buddy Brian Boucher) to even make playoffs. Fifth, I remember that strange goal by Patrick Kane in June. As strange as it was that the team with so much talent had to rely on a shootout win to make playoffs - just as strange was how far they went after an up-and-down regular season, how they beat the Bruins and how that season of a lifetime for their goaltender Michael Leighton had to end on the softest goal of all of playoffs. Wanting to prove that the last season was not a fluke, and that Flyers are for real, they started strong and managed to stay near the top of the Eastern Conference for most of the season so far. This time it's an unlikely hero Sergei Bobrovski (aka Bob), a Russian rookie sensation in goal, that deserves most of the credit. Not a mystery back in Russia, where Bobrovsky was a regular for the KHL club Mettallurg Novokuznetsk, he is still a big surprise in the NHL this season. Since Leighton came down with injury, Bob used a chance to impress North Americans to his full advantage - he started by beating the Pens in their season opener at the new arena, and have since won 13 more games. Another surprise - he's actually a Russian. On the Flyers roster.
Bob's dominance in goal compensates for an otherwise average statistics by the Flyers as a team. They do score a lot of goals - but quite a few of these goals are against the teams like the Leafs and the Hurricanes. They are pretty close to the Sharks in terms of shots allowed. But they're also right in the middle of the pack when it comes to their special teams - 16th power play unit in the league and 13th penalty kill.
The Flyers played six contests against Western Conference teams and lost 4 of them, including losses to the Blues, the Ducks and even the Flames. Sharks, on the other hand, won 4 out of 7 contest against Eastern conference teams so far.
On some nights, the Flyers can beat the Capitals. On other nights, they can lose to the Devils or the Ducks. Sounds familiar?
Enough about them. The Sharks are coming off a rather emotional win in Detroit. While the scoreboard looked great, Todd McLellan had this to say about the team, "Me, I'm very disappointed in our guys". The mood in the locker room after the game was not a happy one, as everyone still remembered how badly the Sharks played in the first period. The team held a meeting in between periods and it worked - the rest of the game in Detroit saw the same Sharks that eliminated the Red Wings out of the Stanley Cup playoffs last May.
That's always a question this season - which San Jose team is going to show up - the one that can beat Detroit in Detroit, or the one that can lose to Columbus at home?
Based on what we heard about the mood of the team and the tone of the coaches, they're are getting tired of this schizophrenic hockey. Now is a good time to start playing good hockey for longer than a period or even one game.
And why not continue what started in the 2nd period in Detroit by embarrassing the Flyers on their favorite TV channel?
PREDICTION: Sharks win 5-1, on goals by Heatley (3), Wallin and Pronger.

Who wouldn't be disappointed after that first period?
I sincerely hope that what they did in the second and third can carry over to Philly. Just hope the Sharks can win 1-0 for my fantasy team’s sake. I have Howard and Bobrovsky… My GAA this week is at 5.03 from that shellacking. But I’ll gladly sacrifice fantasy stats for real world wins (who wouldn’t?).
Go Sharks!
P.S. Love these early start times, I can actually watch a game and get to bed before midnight.
Just sit Bob
then no sweating, just cheering. =)

As much as I hate...
Versus, I’m echoing what the other poster said – it’s nice to have an early game start so I can be in bed before midnight. 6 AM comes really early the next day for me if I didn’t get to bed before midnight. Alas, poor me. Many thanks to DirecTV and Comcast for reaching a decision to allow Versus back on the DirecTV lineup even if the Versus announcers sound like they’re calling a paint drying match between Dutch Boy and Behr.
I really hope Clowe or Murray levels Pronger. I’ll be booing every time he touches the puck. God, I miss when he was playing for the Ducks. Now we hardly ever get to boo him anymore.
God save us all. Go Sharks.

… Especially when they start at 1pm when the Sharks play at 4pm! Argh! Luckily I set the DVR to record whatever I miss of tonight/today’s game. I really hope we can start stringing wins together instead of this roller coaster they have been going on. It has to happen sooner or later… right?
I love the prediction of a Heater hat trick… so I’m crossing my fingers for that! But I’m going to say Demers scores a goal tonight as well.

be nice for the hat trick, I like the pronger goal alot better though

Great write-up Ivano...
I have to admit I really like the Flyers. Theyre the only team in the NHL that I root for besides the Sharks. But rest assured they get no love from me tonight.
I actually like the Flyers before the Sharks even existed. I remember the Flyers of the eighties with Hextall, Lindros, and LeClair.
There’s just something about a goalie that willing to check a guy in the face or jab him with his stick in the back that warms my heart…
Wonder if Bouch gets the start tonight…?
I say Sharks win 5-3…
Couture with a hat-trick. Close assists all three.

The Sharks have seemingly played the Flyers well over the past few years, it seems. And they always seem to be entertaining games. Of course, this season has been nothing like past Sharks seasons, so who knows if this will carry over.
Glad Niitty is in net…get some of that “revenge against a former team” mojo working…and I was growing tired of seeing Niemi in net. I like Niitty, and felt he did nothing to deserve not getting to play anymore. Ah well.
I, for one, am quite pleased that we are on Versus again tonight, as DISH still doesn’t have CSN CA back. So I’ll actually get to watch the Sharks play hockey in HD, rather than an online stream. Huzzah!
I would make some sort of prediction, but I give up on this team. If the WLWLWLWL pattern holds, we’re due for a loss tonight. But, if the “former team” pattern holds, we’re due for a convincing victory. Let’s hope its the latter.

Per DP:
The nastiness between Comcast and Dish Network has reached the point where Comcast will now reward viewers who abandon Dish — and I don’t know whether this only applies to those who switch to Comcast as the provider or not — a $150 gift certificate.

I still wouldn't
switch to Comcast even if someone offered to pay for my service for the rest of my life. I hate HATE HATE HATE Comcast with a passion. All hail DirecTV! If anyone wants to switch to DirecTV, remember that they have that $100 reward bonus. It’s technically $10 a month off your bill for 10 months, but hey, every little bit helps.

I would prefer DirecTV as well, but they are so god damn expensive. And honestly the only reason why I would switch would be for DVR space, all things else, they’re fairly similar.

The roommated locked us into a 2 year deal with DISH that is, what, 2 months old now? It would be hell getting out of that. And by hell, I mean expensive…far more expensive than any perks someone else could give us for switching.

That is a lie. A bald faced lie. There is a penalty but its not to fulfill your contract’s entirety. Either way, sounds like your roommate is set on Dish which means its probably not worth the discussion with him to switch.
by animadiversion on Dec 8, 2010 1:19 PM PST up reply actions
The roommate just doesn’t like confrontation…and she hates calling and dealing with things of this nature. If my name was on the contract, then I’d have called and bitched long ago.
I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’m going to be missing Sharks hockey this year a lot more than usual. I mean, i can find feeds, and I go to games enough, so it won’t be awful. And then the lease is up, the DISH contract goes with the roommate who’s name is on it, and I get Comcast wherever I go next. Shitty, but not much I can do from where I sit except hope DISH stops being cheap assholes and gets me my CSN back.

She may be able to call and get your name put on the account as somebody that can call in and make changes.
I rent a house from somebody and their name is on the Verizon account that controls our TV/Net/Phone and I have my name on the account now as somebody who can make changes. Which of course led to me calling every day for about 2 weeks to get 1 of the 2 HD channels of CI fixed.

Drew: "Well keep an eye if there's butt patting"
Consistency starts here, I hope.
String a couple together and then roll into Buffalo strong tomorrow, and the winds of change could be blowing in our favor. I want to see the boys come out strong and play that way all night.
I’d also love to see Couture bury some big time goals on Bobrovsky and make a statement in the Calder race.
I just talk a lot and somehow accidentally say things that sound smart. It’s all smoke and mirrors, I tell ya.

Hopefully I will be still awake from vacation to watch tonight… oh wait, its on earlier?

Drew: "Well keep an eye if there's butt patting"
I’m actually glad to see that no one’s happy after that win.
Yeah, me too. This could be a good thing. I think (actually, I’m just really, really hoping) that the Detroit win (more so than the Chicago and LA wins) might actually be the catalyst to turn things around. First, we beat Detroit in Detroit, both a team/building we have not traditionally had success against/in. And we didn’t just squeak out the win, we WON. Second, we didn’t start well and could have easily lost the game in the first period. The coaches got fed up; the players got fed up, which I think is key. By all accounts that first intermission was not a pleasant one, with the players continuing the yell fest after McLellan left the room. Third, they seemed to collectively decide enough is enough (I have a feeling some players were already there, but others needed a bigger kick in the ass) and came out in the second and third periods playing SHARKS HOCKEY! Of course, tonight will be the first test to see if my theory holds any water whatsoever. :)

Be sure to watch Logan Couture = if anyone is going to get a hatty tonight, it might be him. In Ottawa and Detroit (two of the last 3 outings), he had a pair of goals in each game. He also had an assist in between those games (Montreal). Whenever Couture scores a goal, we either win or take it to overtime. Finally, he has 4 game-winners compared to Heatley’s 2 GWs.

More light hearted fun from Pollak before todays game
New WTC. David Pollak talks to Pronger to get his opinions on Heatley’s return to Ottawa and if it was similar to his return to Edmonton. In this specific quote he was talking about his quick exit afterward:
"I noticed he got out of there pretty quick. He didn’t need to go celebrate out on the ice," Pronger said. "Same thing. I got hit with a set of keys and a bunch of other things. It was nice."
I gotta say, I really like him when we don’t have to play him regularly…

Nostalgia?
I just talk a lot and somehow accidentally say things that sound smart. It’s all smoke and mirrors, I tell ya.
what does this mean?
im confused, he;s only signed for worcester right? Its not a 2-way deal, so who is the PTO for?
Flem: "Tim are you enjoying the party?"
Timmy: "That would be a fair assumption."
I believe it's the same deal as he was previously on.
He’s on a “try-out” with the WorSharks, which I believe either party can end if need be. He plays, they pay, but it isn’t a guaranteed contract and it isn’t for the whole season. And it has no bearing toward the big club.
I just talk a lot and somehow accidentally say things that sound smart. It’s all smoke and mirrors, I tell ya.
I think everything with Cheechoo in Worcester is confusing…Is there a limit on how many ‘try-outs’ 1 player can get thruout the season?
There is no limit on the number of contracts of this type a player can sign, only that he has 1 at a time.
"Douglas Murray is a humongous human being." – Drew Remenda
I thought that a club is limited to signing a player to 2 PTOs, after which they must either give him a contract or release him. But I might be misremembering.

Dunno if everything there is right, but it was a pretty easy to understand rundown, I thought.

okay, thats what i thought

Flem: "Tim are you enjoying the party?"
Timmy: "That would be a fair assumption."
Correct
This is literally the exact same contract as last time. It’s a 25 game player try out (you’ll note they’re 25 games into the season so the last one just ran out).
It remains contractually impossible to “call up” Cheechoo.

They’re basing it mostly on the low shots allowed per game… I wonder if that’s more a function of us getting blown out and teams just sitting on leads.

i am still entirely in favor of letting dougie murray destory pucks from the blueline

Man, I wish the Sharks D would be more willing to pinch in and keep plays alive on offense like O’Donnell just did there. That was a great pinch at a time that many of our D men would already be bailing on the play…

a more aggressive forecheck that is always looking to pinch would be lovely
