Missed this from Hendrick earlier this morning:

Dion Phaneuf and Stephan Robidas are with the Leafs in Philly. Both could possibly play tonight. #TMLtalk

Komarov-Holland-Santorelli
Panik-Smith-Clarkson

Reimer starts tonight, not Bernier. Hendrick is saying no Phaneuf at practice so he won't be playing.

Phaneuf (hand) won't play on this trip, but Horachek said it was important for the captain to be around the team during this tough time

So no Phaneuf, nobody else has mentioned Robidas so I'm guessing he's just around for moral support too.

"Hey Dion, if I have to watch this team play every night, so do you."

Anything other than a loss is unacceptable.

Just do it.

I don't mind the look of those lines. Holland's probably happy.

Finally, Clarkson is right where he belongs. Let's hope he stays there until he's no longer a Leaf.

 

[LuncheonMeat]

So, the Flyers with 3 wins in a row and the Leafs with 8 losses in a row.  This is a chance for the Flyers to start putting some distance between themselves and the Leafs.

4-2 Flyers with Reimer getting very little support from his team.

Remember when games used to mean something?

I don't.

Well, they still mean something even if that 'something' isn't the playoffs.

This will get you going Joe!

The big question will be whether or not he's still on the pow... haha sorry couldn't get that sentence out with a straight face of course he will be.

6-3 Leafs. Lupul (2), Kadri, Rielly, Santorelli, Bozak. Gardiner and Komarov each with 2 assists. Reimer makes 24 saves. Bernier goal gets shown 38 times.

In the second period...

tpanotchCSN: Nick Grossmann's right shoulder still bothering him. Will not play tonite vs Leafs. #Flyers

 

[Andy007]

I'm going to see Norm Macdonald tonight. Of that and this game, I wonder which will offer the most comedy...

If his jokes go as blue as the Leafs, you should be in for a treat at least.

 

[Highlander]

Why are we letting Smith play on the 4th line, he will never be an NHL player in the longer run. Give Carrick or McKegg or one of the kids some time up with the big club.
