Flyers' growing pains

Flyers -

Last night's game against the Blues revealed some growing pains.

I noticed at training camp that Ilya Bryzgalov was a very confident goalie who was learning his new teammates tendencies on the ice. One of the ways he did that was by having a variety of on-ice conversations with them as practice was progressing.

All goalies to do, some more so than others.

The point in this case is that he is a very strong-willed guy. So, it will be interesting to see how he meshes with his defenders moving forward.

I think they will benefit, over time, by having a confident and highly skilled netminder playing behind them. While this group might not be used to this type of style, it will become so moving forward.

Consistent winning will help this process all the more.

Flyers + Pronger & the Blues

Flyers -

The team faces the Blues tonight.

Chris Pronger was traded to by Hartford to St. Louis for Brendan Shanahan in 1995. He went onto win the Hart and Norris trophies in '99-'00.

He remains one of the best defensemen in the League and one of the best in the past two decades. His continued health should allow the Flyers to have a chance at some success this season.
