Son. Of. A. Bitch.

This Tonight!



Go Flyers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Playoff Game Night: The Final Act


Tonight is the night. These two and many others are going to need to raise their game to levels that they have never done before. As everyone has been saying, one way or another history will be made tonight. Either Philly etches this season in the books for the first time coming back from 3-0 in 35 years, for the 3rd time in the NHL history and for the 4th time in any Major League sport, or they lose, but let's not even talk about that.

The game tonight will be epic. Probably the top rated hockey game in a very long time excluding the Winter Classic. Everyone wants to watch and be a part of history. Every casual fan wants Philly to win. Riding off of that, they will need to impress and play a much better game than the last. Yes, we got the win, but it wasn't pretty. I believe, and tonight will be the night. I can't wait and there is no way at all I will be able to get anything done at work today. All I can think about is this game tonight. Let's see a good one boys. I think it is going to be close, but Philly will blow it open in the third and win 4 to 2. It's on guys, don't let the world down now.

Let's Go Philly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Playoff Game Night: The Return of Leights


Get used to it Bahhhhston, because you will see this multiple times tonight. When Leights came out and was thrust into goal in the middle of the last game I watched him very closely and noticed something. I had never noticed his playing style, which you can see in this picture, which is always doing the splits and being extremely well positioned. I am not afraid of Boston at all with Leights coming in and I almost feel better to have him in net. Yes, he does have a problem with rebound control, but our defense knows this and will always be ready to clear the front of the net. Besides that, he can play an extremely good game. I can't wait for this game tonight and I expect another big win. Although our backs are against the wall, it feels like we have Boston against the wall. We have been crushing them in every aspect of the game, and I knew it was only a matter of time before the wins started coming. We are completely in their heads and we won't be getting out of there any time soon. Savard is losing it; Rask is starting to crumble (9 goals against in 2 games); Chara is FINALLY getting tired; and all the injuries are going to be the downfall of this team. We can do it, and we all know it. Now it's just time to execute. Let's continue to go for history boys. I want another game of hockey on Friday! I predict a track meet of a game...for us only. I'm going big, Flyers 6 Boston 0. Happy to see you back Leights!

Let's Go Flyers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Playoff Game Night: Hello Baaahhston, Now Back to Philly!


This is what I hope to see tonight. The usual Carbomb ear to ear grin. Tonight, Philly will win. This series will travel back to Philly, we will win again, and then we will shock the world by beating Boston in Boston to make this comeback complete. Put your money on it. This is LOOOONNNNNGGGGGG from over. Let's see it tonight boys, put together a full 60 min effort and we continue to play. My guess is we will squeak this one out with a 3 to 2 win in regulation.

Let's Go Philly!

Playoff Game Night: Put Those Brooms Away!


All I can say is, this will not be the last Philly game of the season. They want this win more than Boston wants this series. We also want this series more than they do, and that's why we will come back and win it. First time in 35 years!

Gagne will be playing tonight. Don't let the "game time decision" fool you. As I read, he said it's going to be his decision after warm-ups tonight. Knowing that he has probably more competitiveness in his pinky than I do in my entire body, he will be out there. The only questions I will have about that is: How many minutes does he get? And, who does he play with? It'll be interesting to see how he looks.

With Boston now about as beat up as Philly is (missing Krejci, Sturm, and Stuart) we will be able to jump on them. Get out to a quick lead and this game will be over, whichever team does that first. Boston plays the trap to perfection when they are not trying to score goals, as we all saw last game. This will be a great game and a great way to start the weekend, as long as Philly wins. Let's see some hustle tonight boys, I don't want Philly hockey to be over with yet! My prediction, Philly 5 Boston 1.

Let's Go Philly!!!!!!!!!
