Flyers down the Canadiens…again
The Philadelphia Flyers limped into the NHL playoffs this year. Down the stretch of the regular season their goaltending was horrific and it was a perfect fit for how most of the team was playing. They needed an OT shootout in the final game of the season to beat the New York Rangers and make the playoffs.
In short, this was hardly a playoff team. At least not one that would make any noise.
Fast forward to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Flyers stomped the New Jersey Devils like a narc at a biker rally in the first round. Then they pulled off the improbable comeback from down 3-0 in the series against the Boston Bruins. That included recovering from a 3-0 deficit in Game 7 in case you’ve been living in a cave. Or a cave with no HDTV.
Since then? They haven’t even been scored on. That’s right, since they were down 3-0 in Game 7, the Flyers have rattled off 13 unanswered goals and three wins.
Their latest victims have been the Montreal Canadiens. They dropped the Habs 6-0 on Sunday night and came back to beat them 3-0 on Tuesday night. We’re still waiting for the Canadiens to join the series. It must hurt worse for them because Montreal cares more about hockey than Philadelphia. Sorry.
Simon Gagne has been phenomenal since returning from the cracked foot that sidelined him earlier in the playoffs. He had a goal in Game 2 as did Danny Briere, who finally seems to be earning some of that fat salary.
And what’s happened to Jaroslav Halak? The third goal to Ville Leino was the textbook definition of soft. Halak has been brilliant in the postseason, but so far against Philly he’s been bad to quite bad.
It’s only a 2-0 lead and as the Flyers know, even 3-0 leads don’t mean squat. But the Flyers are halfway to the Stanley Cup and haven’t even given up a goal yet. It’s early, but Flyers fans should be encouraged.
It’s almost down to two teams, when we will officially begin our Two Teams, One Cup campaign.

This is getting a little bit more subjective, but I much rather the Zune Marketplace. The user interface is multi-colored, has a lot more pizzazz, and some great characteristics like ‘Mixview’ which let you swiftly see connected albums, songs, or other users associated to what you are listening to. Clicking on 1 of them will center on that item, and one more set of “friends” will come into view, permitting you to navigate around exploring by similar performers, tunes, or users. By the way, the Zune “Social” can be great fun, letting you come across others with shared preferences and getting buddies with them. You then can listen to a playlist produced depending on an combinations of what all your buddies are hearing, which can be enjoyable. Individuals concerned with privacy will be relieved to learn you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening routines in case you so choose.
