Man these Philly commentators are such homers. Whenever Philly gets caught cheating and gets a penalty, it's the refs who "felt that was a penalty". When Riemer makes an incredible save, it's Matt Read who made the mistake of "shooting towards the goalie". Kind of annoying, but not as annoying as the homer Leafs guys!
Good game so far - this could go either way.
Also - anyone have any idea why this forum is now basically appearing as plain text? Just kind of did it all of a sudden - no other sites/forums look like this. It sucks.

Looks same as always here. All kinds of fonts, sizes, colors. Might be a browser settings issue on your end?
Cheers!

Figured it out. Laptop was on the unblock-us DNS, which messes it up for some reason. All other sites are fine. Whatevs...
Anyway we have another Leafs beatdown on our hands here. Too bad Reimer's knee appears to have exploded, thus rendering our season a failure. Toronto has the worst luck ever.

You must be getting a different broadcast than the normal Flyers home broadcast. Jim Jackson is one of the best about not being a homer and calling the game how it's being played. He's quite entertaining, even when the Flyers are playing terrible.
Maybe you're getting the broadcasters that do the radio calls, they're definitely homers. Jim Jackson, Keith Jones, and Bill Clement do a great job. Steve Coates is annoying and more on the lines of a homer, but the other guys are good.
Didn't catch the game, only watched the score/penalties on my phone. The W is great and all, but not at that expense. I had honestly thought we were going to make the playoffs now, but Reimer getting injured AGAIN is a disaster.
Coincidentally enough, that 7-1 blowout Philly recorded in their last match up with Toronto was the 2nd game Scrivens started last year after Reimer was injured and Gustavsson got injured by a puck in warmup... the Leafs really had to scramble just to find some random backup. The 7-1 score was kind of like inevitable with the AHL goalie in net. Hopefully he's gotten much better with the experience he's gained since.
I don't know if the outlook for Reimer's injury has been stated yet, but I'm really hoping - likely in vain - that it's not season-ending. Man... way to take all the thrill out of the win.

Injury is likely not serious according to Carlyle. I believe he was "walking it off" in the tunnel. Will be re-evaluated today, but hopefully just misses a couple games and then returns next week.
Good week for this to happen though. Only 3 games, and it's against 2 pretty crappy teams. 4 wins in a row.. wow.

Good game tonight. Bruins/Rangers. I'm looking forward to this game...
Good news, Reimer has an MCL strain. They expect him to be out for "at least a week". That's a huge relief, considering it looked like a season ending injury. I'd be happy if he was out for a few weeks even to get the time he needs to heal properly. Shame though, he was playing fantastic. The way the team is playing at the moment, I think we can roll with Scrivens temporarily. Other than that, great game last night. JvR's goal was glorious, made even better by the fact he made Schenn do snow angels to get to the net.
Me, too. I was seriously jonesing for a game last night - any game - and found nuthin' on the toob.
Rangers, in a home game, while the B's have been looking rather good? Yeah, I'm up for that!
Hopefully the fans didn't wear themselves out shoveling and get the house rockin'! :rockin:Meanwhile...how 'bout those Blackhawks? Yikes!
Cheers!

You watching tonight, jtkratzer?
Go Jets Go!!!

Stupid question. Next question.
Workout in, dinner in, showered, and 1 of 2 kids are in bed. It's go time.
Caught a glimpse of a Jets player's name...yup...Clitsome.
Also, saw a pretty awesome fantasy roster name: Every day I'm Byfuglien!

Got TSN - Jets on TV, Philly feed playing in the background on the desktop...
GF is out curling - pure hockey goodness for the next few hours!!!

During the intermissions...I'll be working on getting my 3 year old to clean up the disaster she's created in the living room and getting a venison crock pot meal ready tonight so I can just turn on in the morning.
Wow...thought there were going to be a goal on the first shift in three straight games.
Bryz comes up big early.
Jim Jackson calling the game or are you getting the radio broadcast? When I lived in Germany, the audio on NHL.com for the games was always the AM radio broadcast out of Philly. I prefer the TV crew. We talked about this last night.
Fug, probably won't even catch the game Thursday as it's on LeafsTV which I can't seem to get. So Saturday...
On a brighter note, of the next two weeks' schedule, the "best" team we seem to be up against are the 'Canes, so I suppose Scrivens may not be SUCH a travesty.
I'm REALLY feeling good about making the playoffs this year, and not just because of the short season. Heck, might even win a series... but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Yup, Grant Clitsome. My favourite dyslexic hockey player!

It is Toronto and they have a consistent recent history of blowing things up.
Ottawa is only two points behind Toronto and Tampa Bay is only 4 points back. Wouldn't surprise me if either one or both of those teams come up with a win.
Toronto looked good last night and if they play the entire game the way they played the 2nd and most of the 3rd, they'll be fine.
A team with more offensive consistency and better special teams will give them more trouble than the Flyers mustered.
How is Chicago still undefeated in regulation?
Wondering if Ladd will back himself up after taking a chop at Simmonds' legs after that hit he took.
Not a bad first period. Got a power play goal, killed off a penalty, and not much Bryz could do on that nasty goal by Ladd.
Flyers really need G-rox to get going offensively.

2 to 1...MTS Centre will be even louder in the 2nd...
Setting up nicely.

Yes. Yes it is.
Love watching Tye McGinn play, and fight. Shocked there wasn't a call on Jake even though Montoya was out of the crease, the goaltenders are like quarterbacks and almost always get that call.

I thought it was a decent tilt. Both guys landed a couple, McGinn's taller and heavier.
Good effort by Stuart.

Jets are losing their minds and composure. Rinaldo has them in fits.
I'm guessing Byfuglien gets a call from the league about his shot to Rinaldo's face/head on that last stoppage.
