Number 90 with another point. He may not be German, but I shall call him Uberweiss.

"I don't want to be bought out" Stephen Weiss. I remember it like it was last weekend.

FLYERS (8-9-3) AT RED WINGS (11-5-5) TV: NBCSN, TCN-PH, FS-D+ Season series: The Philadelphia Flyers extended their string of regular-season home victories against the Detroit Red Wings to nine in the first matchup, with Flyers forward Michael Raffl scoring two goals and an assist. It was the first home victory of the season for Philadelphia, which won two of three games against Detroit last season. Red Wings team scope: Veteran forward Stephen Weiss scored two goals Monday in the Red Wings' 4-3 home win against the Ottawa Senators in his return from a groin injury that held him out for all but one of the Red Wings' first 20 games. Center Pavel Datsyuk (groin), who has missed four straight games and six of the past eight, also could return against the Flyers. After centering the third line in practice Tuesday, Datsyuk's availability will be determined after Detroit's morning skate Wednesday. If he plays, look for second-year forward Tomas Jurco to get bumped from the lineup. Defenseman Brendan Smith (hand infection) returned to practice, but likely will need more time to recover despite being eligible to come off injured reserve Wednesday. Goaltender Jimmy Howard will start against Philadelphia. Flyers team scope: Goalie Steve Mason stopped 46 shots through regulation and overtime before allowing goals in the shootout to forwards Frans Nielsen and John Tavares in a 1-0 defeat to the New York Islanders on Monday. It was the continuation of a frustrating trend for the Flyers, who have dropped all three of their shootouts this season and eight straight dating back to last season. Philadelphia was 3-8 in shootouts in 2013-14 and have an NHL-worst 27-54 record in shootouts since they were instituted in 2005-06. The Flyers continue an eight-game stretch that will send them on the road for all but one game. Philadelphia is averaging 2.1 goals per game on the road compared to 3.5 per game at home. Raffl (foot) has missed eight games, but practiced Tuesday in Detroit and could return this weekend.

boy that was a game-changer. i bet the boys are awake after that one

Was cool.. But I didn't think it look anything like him. That's a great name for that line LOL

NBCSN getting Bob MacKenzie for the intermission broadcast was a great move.

If my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle

Remember that time everyone wanted Weiss gone forever? Lol

remember that time Datsyuk went back to Russia? Lol

******* O'Halloran tonight? Ugh

I have both games on. 2-0 Griffins. Miele and Athanasiou. No points for Mantha yet...

LGW!

Weiss that Datsyuk again?

Haha, that was exactly what you would expect from Quincey in a fight. Just a bland experience that should be better.

Quincey trying to fight is cute.

I like the "Two groins and a backache" line.

I'll take a 1-0 lead after one. Keep the pressure and blow it open.

I like that one. I'm stealing it. Thanks

Samesies

Helm, Datsyuk and Weiss on the same line? The helicopter line. No wings.

Unmolested.

Yeah, we don't want to be seen in this again.

Oh man Grimes, I actually forgot just how much I hate Bettman. I give a lot of credit to Chelios and Neely there for not being robots like we're used to. I read Chris's book and thought it was ok. I didn't really feel he was out of line with his Shanahan take. Also I did especially like his Bowman stories.

Twitter to YouTube:

Former Red Wing on the downward side of his production. Seems like a natural fit. The only hitch is it'd be a trade so Kenny wouldn't be able to give him a 4 year deal to make it a 35+ contract with a NTC.
