Flyers strike Lightning as Betts and Richards score 2 each

Blair Betts nets 2

Mike Richards scored 2 goals, had an assist and was +2 in 21 minutes against the Lightning Wednesday night.

The Flyers put up 5 goals and back up goalie Mike Leighton stopped 31 shots as the Flyers won in Tampa Bay Wednesday night.  Interestingly the Flyers did not overly celebrate goals, but were more business like in the game.  Blair Betts was the benefactor of being in the right place at the right time crashing the net for 2 goals.  Mike Richards scored a power play goal to give the Flyers a 2-0 lead, then scored on a 2 on 1 to give them a 3-2 lead.  Simon Gagne scored an open net goal, his second of the season and first since returning from injury.  The Flyers committed only 4 penalties, I believe a season low.  As bad as they have been, they are still only 4 points out of a playoff spot.

Brian Boucher stopped 22 shots, allowing only 2 power play goals on Tuesday against the Islanders.  Brian figures to get plenty of playing time as Ray Emery is out for 6 weeks after surgery.

Last poll's results:

What's your opinion of the current Flyers goalie situation?

Brian Boucher should be the true starter 24% (61 votes)
Ray Emery is the better goalie and should start 23% (58 votes)
The Flyers should play who ever is hot 39% (99 votes)
They should split the games 7% (17 votes)
Both goalies are playing well 7% (18 votes)
Total Votes: 253

I think Brian has warmed to the task and is playing great.  It will be interesting to see what happens when Ray Emery returns, at the end of January.
