Let's do it for Patrice! Let's get those Flyers!
The Blood Feud continues tonight!
The Boston Bruins visit the Philadelphia Flyers tonight in what could be a particularly nasty affair. The new look Philadelphia Flyers whose renewed physical play has them battling for tops in the Atlantic Division as well as leading the NHL in man games lost to suspension. When last these two squads faced one another, Flyers defenceman Randy Jones hit Bruins center Patrice Bergeron face first into the boards. Bergeron broke his nose, and suffered a concussion and has yet to return to the lineup. Chances are slim he will return this season, and there is the possibility that his career may be in jeopardy.
Jones can expect to be a target this evening, and better keep his head on a swivel.... and perhaps carry a trident. Enjoy the game!
Quick Shave:
Trouble in paradise? The Toronto Maple Leafs are in a tail spin right now, and rumors are flying, specifically centering on GM John Ferguson Jr., and his upcoming dismissal by Leafs ownership. Ferguson himself is publicly denying a report that he tried to fire head coach Paul Maurice last week but was apparently overruled. Ferguson being fired is inevitable. How it will help the Leafs, is unimaginable. The post cap era has essentially hand-cuffed every NHL GM, and there is little if anything a new GM will be able to do for the Leafs.
Your friend on ice,
Captain Bosh

Bergeron's career is in jeopardy from that hit? Wow, hadn't heard that. It's unfortunate and I imagine he was smiling last night as his team put the hurt on the Flyers. Is Marc Savard the most underrated player in hockey? Or is it Jokinen? There's a good cage match right there.
Doesn't news like that about the Leafs and Ferguson, Jr. just make you glad all over again that you're not a Toronto fan?
Me too. Me too.

Last I heard on Bergeron, that his concussion was so bad, they couldn't even reset his broken nose. I hope that he is doing better.
