Ryan spoke about this before, but tonight is going to be MURDER DEATH KILL HOCKEY BLOOD GUTS SAM CARCHIDIDIDHIDI BONER FUCKIN' YAHTZEE MURDERBALL up in Toronto. If you need all that WWF subplot shit to get amped for a game then I question your real motives. What you'll see after you calm down is this. A shitty Toronto team desperate for a win against the hottest team in the league, your Philadelphia Flyers. Old rivals stirring the pot once more in what will be a rough, exciting game that the Flyers should win.
The Leafs do want revenge for an embarrassing loss last week. Letting Dan Carcillo toe drag your face off, then give the throat slash to your coach(and ex-Flyer Keith Acton) will do that to a team. Getting embarrassed on the road is one thing, and the Leafs are going to come out tonight with something to prove to themselves. Wouldn't it be funny if someone on the Leafs media team made an animated gif of Carcillo doing the throat slash and played it on loop all week in the locker room? The best part about the Leafs focusing their "revenge" on Carcillo is that Chico can take it. He might fight 3 guys at once and do pretty well. Dude shaves with a brick. Jay Rosehill got called up for this game. People seem to think that that is the equivalent to Russia plopping nuclear warheads in Cuba. Might I remind you of the preseason game in which Rockin' Riles fought him to a draw?
I have a simple rule about hockey pugilists. If you can't obtain a "win" against Riley Cote, you don't scare me. Rosehill, Colton Orr, Jamal Mayers, Garnett Exelby...these four will all be "ready to go" and they won't knock the Flyers off their game unless Philly allows it to happen. You saw it last week in the 6-2 victory. The Leafs were too busy running around trying to get under the Flyers skin. The Flyers were too busy scoring goals. Aside from the excitement of playing in Toronto, all four lines are contributing offensively and that is reason enough to ignore the Leaf goons and keep the points coming. Danny Breeze had two goals against Toronto last week, and I think he's a big difference maker tonight. He'll be out there against a shitty penalty kill and can fly around the Leafs questionable defence. Giroux has a 2 game scoring streak going, and if he scores again tonight, I'll buy you all a Wawa bread bowl of chili. Count it.
With Syvret out, OKT comes back onto the ice. He might not be 100%, but it'll be nice to see him back on the ice. If he is a bit shoddy looking, or after he gets hurt tonight (feel like this is 100% happening) we may be seeing a Marc-Andre Bourdon or Kevin Marshall call up. Birddog was complaining of being sick, but this is the kind of game he lives for. I doubt he'll sit. Leighton in net again, Razor backing him up. If the Flyers keep on doing what they have been for the past 10 games, no amount of Colton Orr can stop them. Donnybrook me. Let's Go Flyers.
