Just a quick entry this morning.
It looks like Flyers Defenseman Braydon Coburn will be back in the lineup tonight. He practiced yesterday and, although his vision was somewhat limited, it's only logical to think that will continue to improve before game 4.
It also seems that Flyers coach John Stevens is mixing up his lines tonight. Mike Richards is going to play with Daniel Briere and Scott Hartnell, while Vinny Prospal is going to be moved to center to play with R.J. Umberger and Joffrey Lupul. Of course, Steve Downie is going right to the bench and Patrick Thoresen is expected to step into his spot on the 4th line.
Not that either change will help the Flyers if the Penguins continue to play as they are ...
Jordan Staal is expected to play tonight also, after visiting Ontario, Canada last night to attend funeral services for the death of his grandfather. I haven't heard a word about Gary Roberts, but with Pittsburgh on the verge of a sweep, would not expect to see him back in the lineup.
The Penguins need to show killer instinct tonight. They have to expect a Flyer team who is going to play with everything on the line (which, of course, it is) and bring a lot of intensity. If they match that and stick to their game plan, they should be able to avoid what happened to Detroit in game 4 of their series last night.
BRING ON THE CUP FINALS!!!
