FLYERS NEWS

Well, it's official the Flyers will never win two in a row ever again. Okay, maybe that's a little dramatic, but I mean come on. They not only defeated Pittsburgh in their last game, they dismantled them 8-2. How can you come back from such a dominating performance which such a lame ass 4-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens. Apparently, Simon Gagne really is that important to them. If only he would come back from his injury already. Unfortunately, although he has been skating and working out with team, it is not yet known when exactly that long awaited return will be. Anyway, as for the game it was not fun to watch. Midway through the 1st period Christopher Higgins made it 1-0 Habs on a power play goal. By about the same amount of time into the 2nd period it was 4-0 Habs, as Andrei Kostitsyn scored one goal, and Mark Streit scored twice in the space of four minutes. Mike Knuble finally got the Flyers on the board late in the 2nd with a power play goal, but as mentioned that would be all for the Orange and Black. Thus, the 3rd period was scoreless. So the Flyers drop to 16-11-2 overall and back into 3rd place in the Atlantic division.
