However the last few years have not been kind to the Flyers. Their last victory over the Canucks came nearly three years ago when they took a 3-2 win at Vancouver on Dec. 30, 2008.
In net Ilya Bryzgalov has allowed just one goal this season so far. He has stopped 42 of 43 shots and has a shutout streak of 110:18 seconds.
Those 2 quotes from a section called On The Fly on the Flyers' home site. Mucho respect for the Canucks from those guys. Don't let the Flyers' drought against the Canucks fool you. These teams only play once a year. The Canucks are 2-0 vs Philly since that date, outscoring them 9-2. But this is a new year and a revamped Flyers team that can come charging at you but also play a regimented defensive style of game. As far as Bryzgalov goes: the Flyers finally have a bonafide goaltender. Sure it's only 2 games in but you know Bryzgalov has super credentials.
2 games in for the Canucks: 2 games where you almost fall asleep early on in the game and hopefully you woke up by the 3rd period to watch them come alive. Yet they still have 3 of a possible 4 points. Impressive! Not impressive: Marco Sturm. Not yet anyway. The stormtrooper reference in the image above isn't even accurate. In order to miss you have to shoot first, Marco.

Pretty sure Alberts is drawing in for Tanev.
Don’t know how this one will go, but if they start slow again I have a bad feeling.

You know if sturm shot more but had most shots miss the net, then the stormtrooper reference would be ideal… :p

Lou puts the puck into his own net for the GWG. The next morning the fist three pages of the Province has nothing but TRADE 7UONGOALS stories. Page 4 is a full size map of the Stanley Cup parade route.

…and Higgins has IMO played his way onto the second line. Too bad AV may or may not have noticed.
February 28 - Sidney Crosby scores the dramatic winning goal in overtime of the Olympic final, then puts his gold medal in his trophy case next to his Stanley Cup ring. Meanwhile, Alex Ovechkin scores the dramatic winning goal in overtime of the Olympic final, then puts his copy of NHL 11 back on the shelf next to Guitar Hero.
just about yeah. I mean, if AV is using the ‘earn your minute’ module

Sturm with the winner.
And I think, assuming Sturm can play well with Kesler, our line problems are sorted in a few weeks:
Sedins – Burrows
Sturm – Kesler – Hodgson
Higgins – Malhotra – Samuelsson
Hansen – Lapierre – Weise/Pinizotto (when healthy)
I love Hansen but something’s definitely off this year and he and Lapierre would give us one of the best 4th lines in the league, while Higgins has earned his checking role on a 3rd and has showed a ton of chemistry with Malhotra so far.
by ol'johnnycanuck on Oct 12, 2011 3:02 PM PDT reply actions
I agree with these lines
I do think they’ll give Sturm every chance to succeed before burying him. Samuelsson is a fine third liner as is Higgins so Hansen can drop back as a result.

why is everyone
putting hodgson on a wing? I thought the big problem is that he’s just a better player at center?
