The Flyers continued their preseason tonight against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Just as in their first preseason contest the game went into overtime and finally into a shootout which lasted 11 rounds before Toronto prevailed. The Flyers actually led heading into the 3rd period as Bill Guerin scored an unassisted tally to put the Orange and Black ahead 2-1 late in the 2nd ooperiod. Unfortunately rookie goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, who again finished the night in net, this time the entire 3rd period, couldn't quite hold off the 3rd period Leaf onslaught as the Orange and Black were forced to go to overtime with the scored tied at 2. Other than that misfortune it was a very impressive 2nd appearance by Bobrovsky. Before he came into the game, Brian Boucher, started the first 2 periods and looked very good in saving 16 of the 17 shots he faced.

Although there is a lot of action from the other teams from Philly, I have a soft spot for the Flyers and I'm just loving the fact that hockey is back, even if it is preseason.
