FLYERS NEWS

The Flyers welcomed the Calgary Flames to the Wachovia center tonight. Antero Niittymak got the start in goal but unfortunately he didn't last very long allowing 4 goals in the first period alone. Marty Biron then took over allowing just one goal on 22 shots the rest of way. However the Flyers themselves could score only once themselves the rest of the way as well in a disappointing loss. Early in the 1st period Micheal Cammalleri scored for a 1-0 lead. A few minutes later Olli Jokinen scored for a 2-0 Flames lead. Late in the period Jokinen scored again for a 3-0 lead. A few minutes later Jordan Leopold scored for a 4-0 lead. Early in the 3rd period Mike Knuble finally put the Flyer's on the board, cutting the lead to 4-1. Finally late in the 3rd period Craig Conroy scored for a 5-1 lead to put the Flyers away for good as if they weren't finished already. So the Orange and Black drop to 34-19-10 overall but remain 4th in the Eastern conference.

Like I've been saying for the past couple of weeks, I'll take 4th place any day rather than no place.
