Flyers 3 Blackhawks 0

It Was Over When.....

Peter Forsberg stepped on the ice. The Flyers Captain score just over 7:00 minutes into the game to give the Flyers a 1-0 lead which they would never relinquish.

The Game Puck Goes To.....

Peter Forsberg who scored 2 spectacular goals on the night, and Goalie Robert Esche who shutout the Blackhawks with 26 saves, for his first win of the year.

The Stat of The Game Is.....

0, as in 0 goals scored by the Blackhawks on the night. This is the 3rd consecutive game in which the Blackhawks have failed to score a goal.

The Bottom Line Is.....

This was a nice win for the Flyers but it was against the Blackhawks who are arguably the only team that has played worst than the Flyers have this season. Also the only goal scorers for the Flyers were Peter Forsberg, and Simon Gagne, on empty net goal. Generally, these are the guys that you expect to score goals on a daily basis, but it's the Kyle Calders and the Jeff Carters who have to score if the Flyers are to turn things around. Until they do, and until the Flyers get a win against a team that's not struggling like the Blackhawks or the Thrashers for that matter, I will continue to say what I am going to say now, nice win guys, but you could do better.
