Life After a 5-1 Win Over the Sens

November 13, 2009

It looks like the Flyers might be trying to make that transition from a World Series loss to hockey season an easy one for the Philly sports fan. With last night's win the Flyers moved into a tie for fifth place in the Eastern Conference with the Rangers, who apparently could not handle the return of Ilya Kovalchuk to the Thrasher's lineup. More impressive even is the fact that the Flyers are tied for third place in the entire NHL in winning percentage (a stat not really used in hockey) with the team they beat last Friday and face tomorrow, the Buffalo Sabres. The only two teams better than the Flyers and Sabres right now are the Devils, who are on a 7 game winning streak and the Sharks, who are treating their fans to another impressive regular season. If you tuned into last night's game late then be thankful, because you missed the most boring first period since that time the '94 Devils had an inter-squad scrimmage (insert Family Guy clip here)
