FLYERS NEWS

Devils 3 Flyers 2
It Was Over When.....
The final buzzer sounded. Brian Gionta scored a goal for the Devils early in the 3rd period to give them a 3-2 lead, but from that point until the end of the game the Flyers had every opportunity to score the equalizer.
The Game Puck Goes To.....
Well, it was going to go to the Flyers Mike Knuble who scored 2 goals on the night, but then Brian Gionta scored that goal early in the 3rd period, so we'll give it to him instead, and we'll also give one to Devils goalie Martin Brodeur as well, just for keeping the Flyers out of the net for the rest of the night.
The Stat of The Game Is.....
Well, neither team played poorly in any one category, so we'll just go with 0 as in 0 goals scored by the Flyers in the 3rd period.
The Bottom Line Is.....
Well, this was another tough loss for the Flyers and this is just starting to turn into a tough season for them as well. I mean it's 5 games into the season and they still have only 1 win and 3 points. If they keep up this pace they won't even come close to smelling the playoffs let alone the Cup. Still, it is early in the season and I have faith in them. The orange and black have never let me down before(well as far as reaching the postseason) and I can't see them starting now.

FLYERS NEWS

Canadiens 3 Flyers 1
It Was Over When.....
Chris Higgins fired the Canadiens 3rd and final goal of the night into the Flyers empty net with 25 seconds left in the game, nullifying the Flyers virtually game ending 2 minute power play.
The Game Puck Goes To.....
The Canadiens penalty killing unit which killed off all 8 of the Flyer's power play chances. Thus far, the Canadiens have the best penalty killing unit in the NHL and they showed why tonight.
The Stat of the Game Is.....
0, as in 0 for 8 on the power play for the Flyers. When you get 8 power plays you have to be able to get at least 1 goal out of them and the Flyers just didn't so they lost.
The Bottom Line Is.....
Yes the Flyers are now just 1 and 3, but it's still early in the season and in the NHL every team has as good a chance to make playoffs as any of them do. Even the Flyers at 1 and 3, and with just 3 points on the season, would actually make playoffs as the 7th seed in the East if the season were to end now. Basically what I am saying is don't worry about the Flyers. They'll get it going soon enough.

Flyers 4 Rangers 2
It Was Over When.....
The Flyers scored their 3rd goal of the 2nd period to take a 4-1 lead, which the Rangers would never overcome.
The Game Puck Goes To.....
The Dynamic duo, Simon Gagne and Peter Forsberg who combined for 4 points on the night, Forsberg with 3 on a goal and 2 assists and Gagne with 1 on his 3rd goal of the year.
The Stat of The Game is.....
1, as in 1 for 8 on the power play for the Rangers. Often NHL games are won and lost on whether or not you can score on the power play, and usually when you are as ineffective on the power play as the Rangers were tonight, you do what they did, lose.
The Bottom Line is.....
This was a good way for the Flyers to get their 1st win of the year. It's always nice to beat a team which is an arch rival of yours, and doubly nice when it's your 1st win of the year. If your the Flyers this is one of those moments during the season where you can really build some momemtum. I mean it's not like the Flyers have really played all that poorly this season, it's just that until now they had nothing to show for it. Hopefully, with this win they can really build some confidence and start playing the way they are capable of.

Eagles 38 Cowboys 24
It Was Over When......
Eagles cornerback Lito Sheppard intercepted a Drew Bledsoe pass in the endzone on 2nd and goal from the 3 with 16 seconds left in the game and raced 102 yards the other way for a score and an Eagles victory.
The Game Ball Goes To......
You guessed it, Lito Sheppard, who after missing the 1st 4 weeks of the season came back strong today, intercepting Drew Bledsoe twice late in the 4th quarter, both times deep in Eagles territory just as the Cowboys seemed primed to score.
The Stat of the Game is......
3, as in 3 points scored by the Cowboys offense in the 2nd half. After racking up 21 points and over 200 yards of offense in the 1st half the Cowboys managed just 3 points in the 2nd half while the Eagles racked up 21 points of their own. Another contributing stat is 21, as in just 21 yards receiving for Terrell Owens. This game was billed by many as T.O versus the Eagles and if that's really what it was then I'd say the Eagles won that one.
The Bottom Line is......
This was a huge win for the birds. Before today they had lost 7 consecutive games to divisional opponents, but this 1 game changes all that. With this win the Eagles have now proven to themselves and to their critics that they can still win the big ones and still deserve to be mentioned among the NFC's elite. I mean when you win a back and forth game like this in the fashion the Eagles did, you start to think that maybe this is your year and that good things are going to happen to you. Hopefully good things will continue to happen to the Eagles for the rest of the season.
