Well I kind of agree with you there. It was your fellow Flyers fan who brought up the points thing. I was just disputing that. Fact of the matter is we want multiple fights........AND.......the Rangers to win!!!! HA!

Nothing to dispute there. 5 points in 50 some games versus 1 in 20 some. Big difference . Guys with 5 points in 50 plus games can't talk down the games of others. They both relatively suck at playing hockey and Shelley is better at what they're both actually paid to do.

Haha dude Rupp hasn't seen a single second of PK time with the Rangers, do you even watch the games

Where is everyone seeing Shelley is def in? The only lineup I seen so far has Ben Holmstrom in instead. Thta would be total BS is Jody isnt playing from what happened last game and whats coming up on sat he should def be in.

Also think Rinaldo goes with Prust again

Bruins/Pens could be good hopefully Thornton-Lucic/Engelland-Asham

Dude whatever.....Prust/Boyle Prust/Rupp......sorry for the mix up. Haven't missed a game all season. Maybe I should just concentrate on my job instead of who is playing the PK. Who really cares anyway!!!!! Tonight we can clinch the east and that's all that matters. A few scraps with that is all we ask for!!!

Keep forgetting the Rags have Scott. Any chance he plays tonight? I think Jody will fight him and rupp knowing that he is done for good soon.

Scott out tonight. Rangers going with same line-up. Kind of knew that was going to happen. Scott is worthless. Sorry......unless they throw him in front of the goalie on the PP like they did with Beukeboom back in the day to set a screen....no place for him on the team right now.

So no Scott, again?

Meltzer origianlly thought they called Holmstrom up, but they never did. Its Shelly for the rest of the year...

[bney7]

Yeah Jody Shelley and Andreas Lilja are in. The Flyers didn't call anyone up (yet).

I think there's a good chance we see Brandon Manning, Ben Holmstrom etc. for Saturday's game as I imagine guys like Timonen, & Jagr will sit to rest a couple extra days.

Should be interesting this week, lots of match ups which you expect there should be some bad blood between the teams at least in the East.

I am putting out a full on twitter blitz for them to call up Mathers if the game does not matter.

Although i don't even know if Mathers is eligible.

He was actually pretty disciplined on the Rangers (37 PIMS in 21 games for a tough guy isn't bad).

And just everyone knows, the only reason Mike Rupp is still in the NHL is because he started to fight once Brent Sutter kept on scratching him in NJ. Sure, for a "tough guy" he's not a bad player, but if he didn't fight, he would be in the AHL or Europe right now.
