Playing Catch-Up

We left off with the Flyers playing the Senators on Oct. 18th and winning 7-2. Sean Couturier got his first NHL goal and the Flyers downed the Sens hard. After that, the Flyers played the Caps at home and lost 5-2. I didnt get to watch the game live but from what I heard the Caps had lots of traffic in front of the net and Bryzgalov had little to no vision on when or where a shot was coming. Tough loss on that note. I'm not gonna bore anyone with the recent game recaps for this post. Getting down to what's important now is the return of Pronger. Pronger was hit just next to his eyeball by a stick in the Flyers vs Leafs game a couple weeks ago. He had blurred vision for a couple days and saw a doctor each day to monitor progress. The high stick was not intentional so there was no league action taken in the matter. Pronger was urged by Holmgren and his doctor that he should now wear a visor while playing. Pronger is reluctant but he should be smart enough to stay safe. He has been wearing the visor in practice for the last few days and he looks to return to the team Wednesday(November 9th) when the Flyers take on the TB Lightning at St Pete Times Forum.  Overall, the Flyers as a team have been solid for the last couple weeks. I still think there can be some adjustments made to tighten up the defense and back checking. Other than that, that's all I've got for you this week. As always, GO FLYERS!!!!!!
