The tribute to Rypien gave me chills.

Nobody really knows what you're talking about.... the NHL thread is not really a community watching thread like in the other sports. You probably need to be more specific or you're just going to be having a conversation with yourself.

Moving right along... Flyers made Brodeur and Co. look very average tonight. Early chemistry and I'm pretty sure Bryzgalov just got them something they didn't have all last year... a shutout!

Easy Breezy Bryzgalov was a smart move, goaltending was their weakest link. There were 3 or 4 really good chances Boston had that had it been last year's Flyer goaltenders in net would have prolly been an easy 4-2 or so win for Boston. Jagr looks like he's in great shape as well at least starting out here, let's see how much he has in the tank going forward, but there's no doubt, Flyers are a contender big time.

Disappointing loss for the Pens tonight. 1 for 8 on the power play is brutal. Even more brutal is not scoring on a 5 minute major. Oh well. I'll take a 2-0-1 record on this road trip.

All these early games today because it's a "holiday"?

**** the blackout restrictions.

I'd be all over the NHL GameCenter app on PS3 if I could watch my Flyers. I'm not interested enough in any other teams. Sucks that games are on cable and not on like, CBS, FOX (at least in Philly, the Flyers play on Comcast Sportsnet 95% of the time) like the NFL. Paying for cable basically just to watch the Flyers... not worth it.

Thank goodness for bootleg.

I've been very impressed with him, always seems to be in the right position.

Re: The Official 2011-12 Regular Season Talk Thread

Varlamov is putting on a show. Fun to watch.

Re: The Official 2011-12 Regular Season Talk Thread

Oh wow Varlamov, what a save. Love the O'reilly line too.

I didn't check the stats but it sure seemed like they got a majority of the ice time today.

Lightning, Capitals has been a great one through 2 periods.

Re: The Official 2011-12 Regular Season Talk Thread

Jason Chimera with a well done goal to put the Capitals up 4-3.

Re: The Official 2011-12 Regular Season Talk Thread

Back to being a tied game. 4-4 all thanks goes to Nate Thompson.
