Questions to Answer

1. Ottawa is, quite frankly, a terrible hockey team. Can the Flyers make that obvious tonight?
2. Pronger’s back! How’s he look?
3. After a tough game vs. Washington, what’s the Briere line do tonight?
4. On the whole, how does the defense look now that they’re back to full strength?
