Some of the best recent Islanders players got to sit out game against Flyers. Considering that, Islanders never had a chance to beat Flyers. Tonight they are without bunch of players, this missings makes this mission a lot harder. Blake Comeau, who scored a hattrick in 5-3 home win against Chicago Blackhawks is out, same as Trent Hunter, Rick DiPietro. Flyers can count on Michael Leighton who repleaces well Ray Emery who is injured. Leighton needs to proove that he is able to win games for Flyers in playoff. I think he will not cool, I respect Islanders but they are not able to make this one a tight game. Flyers got too solid players in front. Jeff Carter is all rested after he paused that time when Olympics was on table. Mike Richards got his condition back, he is now even more dangerous than before the Olympic break. Gagne and Briere are solid almost all season, we can count on this two. Count also Flyers defence as one of the biggest wall in all league including Pronger or Carle. You dont need to ask why, this is very simple as You can see. Pick Philadelphia Flyers(-1.5) Posted on Mar-09-2010 at 21:11 CET |
