After Game 3 ….

Last Wednesday night was one of the most nerve-wracking, frustrating, and exhilarating nights of my life. Two or three years of my life were probably shaved off as my heart alternately stopped and skipped as I watched the game unfold, and racing in between all those stops and skips. Well worth every penny I paid to get in, the game had it all – Flyers scoring first, goals then traded bringing

Flyers Reenact Game 1

I lay in bed last night trying to convince myself that if the Flyers were going to win it, what would a great story be without an incredible ending? But then I was honest with myself and realized that the results of any game involving such evenly matched teams came down to two things - physics and effort. And when the effort seems too come the physics. So as much as I'd like to think this were a movie I'm watching and the story is already written for the good guys to come out on top, I know it's not. The Flyers flew out to Chicago on Friday night to do a job.

Flyers Forget There Was a Game 5

You don't deserve to win a game... especially one in the Stanley Cup Finals... when you come out so flat, lazy and emotionless in the first period. What you saw last night was a solid butt-whooping laid on a Flyers team that could have, nay, should have been more ready. Where did the game breakdown?

Nervous Nellies

That's pretty much how Ville Leino described the Flyers in their 7-4 loss to the Blackhawks in Game 5. He said they were so hyped up, their emotions swallowed them up and made them nervous. I asked Peter Laviolette whether he agreed with that assessment, that their nerves got the best of them because it looked to me in that first period, the Flyers were the one seeking shelter on the ice.
