Appropriately, the Avalanche Are in Town

Found December 17, 2008 on 700 Level:
PLAYERS: Antero Niittymaki,  Randy Jones,  Andrew Raycroft,  Peter Budaj,  Joe Sakic,  Milan Hejduk,  Paul Stastny,  Adam Foote
TEAMS: Colorado Avalanche,  Philadelphia Flyers



AvalancheFor the first time in awhile, Philly residents had to brush snow off their cars before commuting home today, probably in weather-related traffic. As if according to plan, the Flyers host the Avalanche tonight at the Wachovia Center, where the home team will try to remain one of  the NHL's two hottest teams. Only the Bruins have equaled the Flyers' run in the last month, and they've been damn near perfect. In their last 16 games, the Flyers are 12-1-3, and the Bruins are an amazing 13-2-1.
