With the series deciding game just over 24 hours away here is the chatter leading into what will be the end of one and the birth of another.
Last night Peter Laviolette decided that Brian Boucher will start game seven in Philadelphia. Boucher has started 3 games this series and has a record of 2-1. Bobrovsky started games 1 & 2, Boucher then started games 3-5, before Michael Leighton took over and started game 6, now Boucher gets the call come Tuesday.
Buffalo Sabres Tim Connolly will not play in game 7 after getting check by Mike Richards in the 2nd period of game 6. Connolly has been a non factor this series, but is a part of the PP and PK.
Mike Richards will not see any type of discipline from the league or the team after hitting Connolly in which the play resulted in a hit.
The Sabres have reached into their pocket and have decided that Derek Roy will be in the lineup come Tuesday. Roy registered 35 points in 35 games this season. He has not played since late December as he has been recovering from hand surgery.
Jochen Hecht was seen skating in practice along with defenseman Andreas Sekera. Hecht is a long time Sabres with experience who has been injured for the duration of the playoffs. He logged 12 goals and 29 points in 67 games this season.
The Flyers line of Hartnell - Briere - Leino register 3 goals in Sunday's game 6. With each of them scoring a goal, including the tying and winning goals. This line was undoubtedly the Flyers top line last postseason and it's about time some group finally stepped up.
Chris Pronger played just over 4 minutes in game 6, only seeing time on the powerplay. Oddly enough, Pronger did not play in the potentially season ending overtime. Andrej Meszaros logged over 31 minutes. The Flyers went to running 5 defenseman for the final 2 periods of game 5 and 6 with Pronger and Syvret riding the pine.
