SYVRET, BETTS AND PROBLEMS IN NET
Danny Syvret took a hard hit into the boards from New Jersey's Rod Pelley in the third period and ended up making a face plant into the dasher.
He looked shaken up, but it wasn't anything incredibly severe - he is a hockey player after all.
Syvret chipped a tooth and had a few more shake loose because he has a bridge that got jammed against the boards.
He was slow to his feet, but didn't miss a shift and remained in the contest. Of course, when you are fighting for an NHL job, you do whatever you must.
.......................
Blair Betts had another solid performance for the Flyers, but again went a day without hearing from Paul Holmgren or his agent.
He knows nothing more about his stake with the team now than he did when he first got here, but you would think he'd have some optimism considering the Randy Jones news today, no?
"That's the first I'm hearing of it," he said after the game, oblivious to the Flyers decision to waive Jones.
Regardless. It says here Betts has a roster spot.
.........................
If Brian Boucher's injury is one that is likely to make him miss the start of the season, and considering the gathering of the Flyers brain trust outside the locker room afterwards - Holmgren, John Stevens and assistant general manager and capologist Barry Hanrahan - it seems that could be a scenario - the Flyers will likely have to call on Johan Backlund to back up Ray Emery when the season kicks off Friday in Carolina.
That's certainy not how the Flyers envisioned starting the season, but it could be the only hand they'll be dealt, so they'll have to endure it.
If Boucher's injury is one that is of the 2-4 week variety, expect Emery to get a lot, if not all of the time.
.........................
By the way, James van Riemsdyk was the forward who failed to pick up Dainus Zubrus swooping into the left circle for the only goal of the game. Replays showed he was caught watching the play and not covering his zone. Typical for a 20-year old.
..............................
Oh yeah, Peter Forsberg scored the overtime winner and set up the other goal Saturday as his hometown team Modo edged Djurgarden 2-1 in the Swedish Elite League.
It was the second goal in as many games this week for the 36-year-old, who is embarking on another comeback attempt following multiple foot surgeries with the aim of returning to the NHL.
Don't know why I'm telling you this other than to get you all riled up. Or am I?

Asham's weak play on the boards was a big cause of that goal, and he was getting chewed out for it on the banch.
