FLYERS NEWS

Sabres 9 Flyers 1
It Was Over When.....
The second period started. The Sabres scored 6 goals in the period and built up a 6 goal lead.
The Game Puck Goes To.....
Maxim Afinogenov who had a goal and 4 asissts, Thomas Vanel who 2 goals and 2 assists and Derek Roy who had 2 goals.
The Stat of The Game is.....
9 as in 9 goals by the Sabres. Usually you don't win when you give up 9 goals and the Flyers didn't tonight.
The Bottom Line Is.....
This was just ugly, embarassing and whatever else you want to call it. I mean the Flyers gave up 9 goals over the last 2 periods on just 25 shots. Basically everything that could have gone wrong for the Flyers did. All I can think is that it can't possibly get any worse for the Flyers than this, so basically the only way for them go now is up.

PHILLIES NEWS

Remember a couple weeks ago when I said that 3rd base coach Bill Dancy, 1st base coach Marc Bombard, and bench coach Gary Varsho would not be a part of the Phils coaching staff in 2007, well today the Phillies hired their replacements. Art Howe, yes that Art Howe the former Mets Manager, will be the new 3rd base coach, Davey Lopes will be the new 1st base coach, and Jimy Williams will be the new bench coach. Now, I am not sure if these guys are really any better than the 3 that preceded them, but they have one thing that Bombard, Dancy, and Varsho didn't, previous experience at the major league level. Well, happy trails everyone.

EAGLES NEWS

Saints 27 Eagles 24
It Was Over When.....
Saints kicker John Carney hit a 31 yard field goal as time expired. Basically it was over when the clock expired.
The Game Ball Goes To.....
The Saints' offense which put up 372 yards and 27 points. Quarterback Drew Brees passed for 275 yards and 3 Touchdowns and Wide Receiver Joe Horn had 6 catches for 110 yards and 2 touchdowns.
The Stat of The Game Is.....
3, as in just 3 for 10 on 3rd down for the Eagles offense. Its hard to win when you always have 3rd and long and you fail to convert. Yes the Eagles did still manage to compile 325 yards of offense and 24 points, but if they hadn't had so many 3rd and longs they would have had so much more.
The Bottom Line Is.....
This loss is a real let down for Eagles after their big win over the Cowboys last week. Now, instead of improving to 5-1 and maintaining their 1.5 game lead in the NFC East they fell to 4-2 and lead by just .5 games. This is a game they could have and should have won. Maybe the Saints are being helped along by a higher power, or maybe the Eagles were just hung over from last week. Whatever the reason for today's loss, I just hope it doesn't carry over to next week.

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.
