Red Wings – Flyers Pregame Notes

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to those of you sober enough to be reading this.

I’m coming at you from hazy but warm Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, where I’m amazed to find that I’m in a hotel that actually gets Versus so I’ll be able to watch the game tonight. If I can get a better Internet setup going, I’ll even be in on the gameday thread.

Also in: Chris Osgood. He’ll be making his third start in a row after smacking around the Blues and Blue Jackets over the weekend. From the sound of things, he’ll be given every chance to prove he should be the playoff starter.

Questionable for the game is Valtteri Filppula, who also missed Sunday’s game in Columbus.
