<p>Flyers forward Daniel Briere reacts to be suspended for a hit that he says didn't even connect. He has also has some interesting thoughts on other, much worse hits that have injured players recently that were treated less harshly than his. Briere also claims that the NHL wasn't even interested in hearing his explanation or defense. He noted how the other player threatened him before the faceoff and had punched him on the previous play so he was just trying to protect himself, but did take responsibility for having his stick up.</p>
<p>He was asked whether he thought the extra time he got was so he would miss the Islanders game this Sunday? <a target="_blank" href="http://www.crossingbroad.com/2010/11/video-danny-briere-is-pissed-about-his-suspension.html">I got a kick out of his response.</a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>What am I going to do? Go fight their whole team? I've had like two or three fights in my career. It's not like I'm going to do anything physical if I play against the Islanders if that's what their thinking.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>The <span class="caps">NHL</span> has suspended Flyers forward <span>Danny Briere</span> three games after he swung his stick at the Islanders Franz Nielson last Friday night. You can see video of the incident <a href="http://philly.sbnation.com/philadelphia-flyers/2010/10/31/1785160/danny-briere-to-meet-with-nhl-over-cross-check" target="new">in this stream</a>. This is not Briere’s first run in with the <span class="caps">NHL</span> law, which according to CSN’s Tim Pannacio is a reason f<a href="http://www.csnphilly.com/11/01/10/Flyers-Briere-Receives-3-Game-Suspension/landing_flyers.html?blockID=343073&feedID=695">or the length of his suspension.</a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>The incident didn’t deserve three games, but that is the price a player pays for being a repeat offender.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Perhaps not coincidently, Briere will miss next Sunday’s rematch with the Islanders. The threat of possible retaliation could have played into the NHL’s decision. Briere <a target="_blank" href="http://www.broadstreethockey.com/2010/10/31/1785045/danny-briere-to-meet-with-nhl-regarding-nielsen-hit#storyjump">explained the incident after the gam</a>e.</p>
<blockquote>[Nielsen] was mad because we were two on Gillies in front of the net a few faceoffs before and all I was trying to do was hold his arm because he was trying to hit Coburn, and obviously, we didn’t want anybody fighting Gillies. We wanted to leave him on the ice. So all I was trying to do was hold his arm to protect Coburn a bit. [On the faceoff with 1:02 left] Nielsen called me a few expletive words and didn’t appreciate that I was doing that and the faceoff before he did the same thing to me. He came over with his stick, had me in a head lock. So I didn’t know what he was doing. I just wanted to keep my hands high and try to protect myself.</blockquote>
<p>To replace Briere, the Flyers have called up 21-year-old <span>Eric Wellwood</span> from the Phantoms.</p>

<p>Late in the game, <span>Danny Briere</span> laid a high cross-check on Frans Nielson. He received a 5-minute major and a game misconduct, and now the NHL will be reviewing the hit for possible suspension. Take a look:</p>

<p>It's likely that Briere will miss Monday's game against the Hurricanes, especially since he is now a repeat offender after being <a target="_blank" href="http://www.broadstreethockey.com/2009/11/24/1172710/danny-briere-suspended-two-games">suspended last year</a>.</p>

<p><span>Dan Carcillo</span> and the Islanders' <span>Zenon Konopka</span> fought twice tonight and I believe this one was the first of those two. Much more active scrap than the second one. This one actually has a lot of action at the start, but fizzles a bit at the end.</p>

<p><span>Jeff Carter</span> and <span>Chris Pronger</span> both scored two goals as the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.broadstreethockey.com/">Philadelphia Flyers</a> crushed the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.lighthousehockey.com/">New York Islanders</a> 6-1. Rookie goaltender <span>Sergei Bobrovsky</span> was superb yet again making 31 saves and giving up just one goal, which came on a second period penalty shot when the Flyers were already up four goals. The Flyers would restore their four goal lead nearly 30 seconds after the penalty shot with Chris Pronger’s second.</p>
<p>Kimmo Timmonen also had a nice night with three points coming from a goal two assists. <span>Dan Carcillo</span> fought <span>Zenon Konopka</span> twice and earned himself 22 penalty minutes tonight.</p>
<p>This marks the Islanders eleventh straight loss in Philadelphia. They haven’t won here since 2007 and have won just one of their sixteen contests with the Flyers. That’s complete and total ownership… The Flyers have now won three straight and are off until Monday when they host the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.canescountry.com/">Carolina Hurricanes</a>. On Thursday, the rival <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.blueshirtbanter.com/">New York Rangers</a> come to town.</p>

<p>(Sports Network) - The <a href="https://www.broadstreethockey.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Philadelphia Flyers</a> will take aim at their first three- game winning streak of the season when they return home to battle the <a href="https://www.lighthousehockey.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">New York Islanders</a> in tonight's Atlantic Division battle at the Wells Fargo Center.</p>
<p>Peter Laviolette's Flyers are coming off consecutive wins for the first time this year and have also claimed victory in three of their last four contests.</p>
<p>Given its recent history against the Islanders, Philadelphia expects to keep its winning ways going this evening. The Flyers have dominated New York, winning 18 of the last 20 meetings overall and 10 straight in Philadelphia. Last year, Philly won five out of six against the Isles.</p>
<p>The Flyers were in action Friday night in Pittsburgh and were able to hold on for a 3-2 victory over the rival Penguins. <span>Claude Giroux</span> scored twice and rookie goaltender <span>Sergei Bobrovsky</span> stood tall with 26 saves. Laviolette could opt to go with <span>Brian Boucher</span> in tonight's game rather than start Bobrovsky on back-to-back days.</p>
<p>Daniel Carcillo scored the other goal for the Flyers last night. Giroux notched the first of his two goals while his club was a man down and he leads the NHL with three shorthanded tallies this season.</p>
<p>The Flyers are 3-3-0 in Philadelphia this season and are opening a three-game homestand tonight. They will also host Carolina on Monday before closing the set Thursday against the <a href="https://www.blueshirtbanter.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">New York Rangers</a>.</p>
<p>The Islanders enter tonight on a down note, having lost three straight games on the heels of a three-game winning streak. The last two setbacks for New York came in a home-and-home against the <a href="https://www.habseyesontheprize.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Montreal Canadiens</a>.</p>
<p>The Habs posted a 5-3 win in Montreal on Wednesday and completed the sweep Friday night on Long Island. <span>Benoit Pouliot</span> and <span>Travis Moen</span> each scored a third-period goal, lifting the Canadiens to a 3-1 victory at Nassau Coliseum.</p>
<p><span>Matt Martin</span> netted his first NHL goal for the Islanders, who suffered their first regulation loss at home (2-1-1). <span>Dwayne Roloson</span> made 23 saves on 26 shots.</p>
<p>"I thought we played well," Roloson said. "We created a lot of turnovers and controlled most of the play in the offensive end. Alex (Auld) played a great game and gave those guys a chance to win."</p>
<p><span>Rick DiPietro</span> is expected to get the start in net for the Islanders tonight. DiPietro, who is 2-1-2 on the year, has 18 career starts against the Flyers and is 7-11-0 with a 2.96 goals-against average in those outings.</p>
<p>Second-year star <span>John Tavares</span> has had success against Philadelphia in his brief career, notching six points (3 goals, 3 assists) in six games against the Flyers.</p>
<p>The Isles are 2-3-1 as the visiting team this year and have lost their last two road tests in regulation.</p>
