Well that wasn't fun. And now nothing else going forward will be either. Things will never be the same. The locker room will forever be marred by last night's loss

You’ve got to appreciate the way Flyers defenseman Kimmo Timonen sacrifices his body night in and night out. No matter the situation, he’ll throw himself in harm’s way to block a shot.

Teams make their own luck, both good and bad. The Washington Capitals may have benefited from four deflection goals -- three off of Philadelphia players -- in their 5-2 win, but the Capitals were simply the better team over much of the game. The Caps got traffic to the net and created those opportunities, while the Flyers were largely inefficient despite generating 42 shots to Washington's 28.

  At some point early on in the season the Flyers were going to show their age, well that is exactly what happened tonight. It started off with a bang, but like the crowd in the third period, it ended with silence, as the Washington Capitals beat the Flyers Thursday night at the Wells Fargo Center. Early on it was evident that the Flyers were going to have to fight excruciatingly hard to pull off a win. Not just because of how good the opposition was, but because they continued to shoot themselves in the skate

Schenn City Have we got one for ya tonight, Flyers fans. The Washington Capitals are in town and two of the East's best square off in what will be a slobberknockin' panty-droppin', Giroux-danglin' hellova good time. This game features some of the best danglers and scorers in the Eastern Conference. Last year's tilts were always shootouts, many needing overtime to decide the winner. The start of this season has been very fun to watch, and thankfully we have another enjoyable matchup tonight, just in time for the weekend. The Capitals may be the best team the Flyers have faced so far this year. An undefeated squad, the Caps roll 4 good lines and pressure their opposition in a number of ways

Known better by a younger generation of Flyer fans as the color commentator who was about 50/50 in identifying his own team's players, and by and even younger generation as the guy who just wandered into their club box and choked down a pizza in the corner, Gary Dornhoefer was an integral part of the Flyers Stanley Cup winning teams. And much more of a formidable opponent than I've ever given him credit for. I'm currently reading one of hockey's seminal works, George Plimpton's Open Net. It tells the story of a time when hockey players didn't hate journalists, to the point where the Bruins allowed Plimpton, who was not a hockey player in the least, to join them for all of training camp and then play 5 minutes in a preseason game against the Flyers

Brayden Schenn, the biggest prize the Flyers got back from the Los Angeles Kings this summer in the Mike Richards trade, was called up from the AHL on Tuesday and is expected to make his season debut in tonight's showdown game against the Caps at Wells Fargo Center. It will be real interesting to see how Schenn initally will be used. My guess is he'll replace fellow rookie Sean Couturier as the third-line center with Scott Hartnell and rookie Matt Read on the wings. Doing this allows Laviolette to keep Couturier at center on the fourth line because Max Talbot easily can slide to a wing.
