Jim Dowd, where have you gone A 60-minute effort must be too much to ask for because this collection of players seems to sleepwalk through stretches every night.

When Mike Richards was named captain, many wondered if he was ready. With Chris Pronger now in the fold, who takes the reigns and steps up when things need to be said Pronger admitted this week he was “walking a tightrope” inside the room and didn’t want to step on Richards’ toes. The Canucks had played the night before in Jersey and were 3,000 miles from home. So what happened The Flyers came out and established nothing on their home ice.
