Recap: Ho-Hum... Game 1.

A lot of you were prepared for this.  I read it in the comments here and on other hockey forums.  You kept telling yourself “After ten minutes, I’ll know which team shows up for this game.”  You were referring to the Jekyl and Hyde that is the Philadelphia Flyers.  Would the team that backed into the playoffs while losing home ice and seeming disinterested face the Penguins...

DECISIVE

PENGUINS 4FLYERS 1I'm still trying to figure out what was the more surprising development from last night's local sports action: the decisive fashion in which the Penguins disposed of the Philadelphia Flyers or the fact that more than 20,000 showed up for a weeknight Pirate game opposite the Stanley Cup Playoffs.I'll go with the Pirate attendance, only because it could...

DOUBLE STANDARD

Flyers try to shed the bullies-eye for game 2 It is a success we will end up paying for… long after this season concludes.  The championship teams of 74-75 and 75-76 were a different breed.  They could beat you with skill or they could beat you with their fists. They raised the Stanley Cup for two straight seasons.  They were held high for all to see when they beat the Red Army...

Eklund: On July First Do You Want Daymond Langkow ...Phoenix?

Flyers' frustrated Richards already looks exhausted

PITTSBURGH - He hit two pipes and assisted on the only Flyers goal. He played 27 shifts and more than 23 minutes, was on the ice more than 6 minutes longer than Sidney Crosby or Evgeni Malkin. He played on four power-play opportunities, was involved in nine penalty-killing situations. And when it was over Mike Richards looked tired, damn tired, a look that has become unnervingly...

Flashback to the 2008 Eastern Conference Finals: the Flyers get worked by the Pens

Talk about starting the playoffs off with a whimper. If I put as mucheffort into this post as the Flyers showed on the ice tonight, I wouldwrite about two sentences. The post would get pretty good in the middlebut the beginning and the end would be completely worthless.In a game that looked way too much like the 2008 Eastern ConferenceFinals, the Penguins manhandled the Flyers in...
