FLYERS NEWS
Well no surprise here, as the Flyers did hold on to win, or I should say they won easily 8-2. 7 different Flyers scored the 8 goals, with Simon Gagne, Daniel Briere, Mike Knuble, Joffrey Lupul, and Jeff Carter accounting for the 1st 6, and Mike Richards adding the last 2 late in the 2nd period and late in the 3rd period. In fact Richards alone, had 4 points on the night, with two assists to go along with those goals. Briere also had 2 assists as well to go along with his one goal. Martin Biron also had another solid night, saving 25 of the 27 shots he faced. Basically, the game was effectively over after the Flyers exploded for 4 goals in the 1st period, causing Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo to get yanked from the game. After Vancouver cut the lead to 4-2 early in the 2nd, the Flyers pulled away for good with 3 late goals in the period to go up 7-2. Then Richards added a goal for good measure late in the 3rd period. Add it all up and you get a dominating team effort, an 8-2 win, and a 2-1 start to the season for the Flyers. Not bad for the reigning worst team in the NHL.
