Questions to Answer
- Pension Plan Puppets describes tonight’s Leafs lineup as a “Brian Burke wet dream,” meaning it’s a tough freakin’ lineup. Barely any NHL vets. Fight night in Philly?
- Bryzgalov. In goal. For the Flyers. ¿Que pasa?
- Take a closer look at the defense tonight (that’s just a personal note for myself). Who stands out, who looks like crap?
- Tomas Hyka, once cut from camp and now apparently not cut from camp, is playing. What’s he do?
- Can Matt Read build on last night?
- What’s the response to Max Talbot on his first night in front of the Flyers crowd?
Go Flyers.
