FLYERS NEWS
With unbeaten Patriots, the Red Sox on the verge of a world championship, KG, and Ray Allen joining Paul Pierce to form a dangerous Celtics team, and Boston College primed for a national championship, the sports stratosphere has been firmly entrenched in Boston so far this year. For at least today however, the Flyers ensured that not all of the glory would go to Boston, defeating the Bruins 2-1 in Boston to snap a 2 game losing streak. Thanks to 37 saves from Marty Biron, back in the lineup after Antero Niitymaki gave him a day off, goals by Joffrey Lupul and Mike Richards were all the Flyers needed. After a scoreless first period, Boston got on the board early in the 2nd period with a power play goal. Later in the period, Richards ensured they would not score on another power play, with a shorthanded goal to tie it at 1. Then Late in the period Richards assisted on Lupul's goal, also a power play goal for a 2-1 lead. Biron kept the Bruins out of the net the rest of the way and the Flyers had their 7th win of the season, to remain in 1st place in the Atlantic division.

Tomorrow afternoon the Eagles reunite with former offensive coordinator Brad Childress and his Minnesota Vikings. It should be an interesting game, and the Eagles desperately need to win it.

FLYERS NEWS
The Flyers suddenly reverted back to their old form tonight against the Tampa Bay lightning, mostly because Marty Biron took the night off. Jeff Carter and Mike Knuble each scored a goal on the night, but Antero Niittymaki only came up with 21 saves, while allowing 5 goals on the night. Tampa Bay lead early 2-0, but a Carter's goal later in the period cut the lead to 2-1. The Lightning pushed it back up to 3-1 midway through the 2nd period, and still led 3-1 heading into the 3rd period. With just under 4 minutes to play in the 3rd, Knuble's goal cut the lead to 3-2. However, Niittymaki couldn't keep it that way, as Tampa Bay racked up a couple extra goals later in the period, to push their lead back up to 5-2. The Flyers then finally had no answer for the lightning and fell 5-2. Thus, the Flyers are now just 6-3, but remain atop the Atlantic division, which says something about their competition within the division. Anyway, as long as they are still in 1st place, the orange and black are fine with me

FLYERS NEWS
Well it finally happened, the Flyer's winning streak has come to an end at 5 games. Goals from Joffrey Lupul, Lasse Kukonen, and Jeff Carter, and 38 saves from Marty Biron were not enough tonight against the Florida Panthers, who just have the Flyers number right now, with this there 5th consecutive win over the Flyers(Florida won all 4 of their meetings with the Flyers last season). Florida's Olli Jokinen scored twice in the 1st period to put the Panthers up early 2-0. Lupul and Carter scored early in the 2nd period to knot it up at 2. Later in the period Florida's Gregory Campbell poked one by Biron to put the Panthers up 3-2. Then Campbell scored again midway through the 3rd period to put Florida up 4-2. Kukonen scored with about 3 minutes to play to cut it to 4-3, but the Flyers could not sneak another one past Panther's goalie Tomas Vokoun, and fell 4-3. Yeah, so the Flyers lost, but who cares, they're still 6-2 and on top of the Atlantic division, so what's not to like. I mean, all winning streaks have to come to an end some time right?
