BOSTONNo Chris Pronger for the Flyers and no Adam McQuaid for the Bruins at the pregame warm-up on the TD Garden ice.Pronger is out withdepending on who you talk toa bad back, a balky hamstring, a sinus infection or a setback in the broken hand that kept him out for the last month of the season. Danny Syvret will again take his spot in the Philly lineup.McQuaid is out with a strained neck, and has been replaced in the Boston lineup by Shane Hnidy. Hnidy was skating with Tomas Kaberle on the third defensemen pairing, and their minutes could be scaled back even more than it was with the McQuaidKaberle pairing over the first few weeks of the postseason.Jeff Carter was deemed able to play right before the game so the Broad Street Bullies will have their 40-goal scorer back. It's a big addition to their lineup, even if only for the power play finish he could provide.The Bs lines were exactly the same as theyve been in the first two games, and both Tim Thomas and Brian Boucher will get the starts in net for the Bruins and Flyers. Philly coach Peter Laviolette continues to tout the theory that all of the pressure is on the Black and Gold, but its pretty inconceivable that any squad would have their slippers and smoking jacket on when theyre down 2-0 in a best-of-seven series."We're going to go into Boston and have some fun," said Laviolette. "We just put our comfortable slippers on.The pressure, it really gets alleviated a bit when you're down."The action on the ice will tell who has the comfy slippers on once and for all.
