Game Notes:


  • Steve Mason looks to get the start after relieving Michael Neuvirth on Tuesday. Gibson will get the start for Anaheim.

  • Flyers will honor the late Ed Snider with the raising of a banner as well as a video tribute to start the game tonight.

  • The Ducks have won their last 6 games against the Flyers.

  • Radko Gudas will serve game 4 of his 6 game suspension for a hit on my Miami of Ohio boy, Austin Czarnik.

  • Randy Carlyle stressed that he is sticking to his combinations of his top 2 lines "for a while" proving that a bottom 6 means nothing in a RC system.

  • I really can't tell if Getzlaf is being sarcastic or not:







LETS GO DUCKS!
