Hopefully more of today's play starts happening with this team. Dont expect 5 goals each game, but keep improving and

Hmm, get rid of Briere at 6.5. Sign Vinnie at 4.5.....


Haters come out of the woodwork.

He has been the best forward in every game he has played.

Well played Homer. Well played.

Both of Holmgren's top signings played very well tonight. And have been playing well all year.

The coaching change has obviously had a positive effect, IMO. Team defense has improved and now the offense is coming along. There's enough talent to see good times coming.

Very strong 3rd period. Best the Flyers have looked all Season. They didn't give the Isles much and beat a very good team on the road. Great victory, and hopefully a springboard. Amazing what happens when your top players play. Flyers got some strong performances from a number of players.

Tavares is beastly.
Mason is just fantastic. Giroux is still a bit off. Jake looks to be coming around. Hartnell and Simmonds are still both out of sync. Read has been decent but man what's with the miffed shot attempts. Schenn was solid on the dot but invisible elsewhere. VL looking really good. Nice to score 5 goals - 4 actually against a goalie as well as pot a somewhat lucky PP tally. Nice also to beat a squad that just beat the Pens.

Now that was a fun game to watch. They played like a team. The rangers game was the real start to this team's season.

Hopefully this is the beginning of some floodgates opening. There are too many capable players on the Flyers for them to be as bad as their first 8 games would seem to indicate. They need to do some serious work because they have dug themselves a pretty deep hole. I do like they way they have seemed to be playing better team D under Chief.

Yeah I'm excited. Plus the Barclay Center is really nice unlike the abortion that is Nassau Coliseum. Being able to hit up any of the Rock in Newark, MSG and now Barclay Center for Flyers games and still be able to get home at a reasonably decent time is very rad for me.

Also I gotta say. I realize it's Saturday night. But seriously - the Flyers play a solid road game - score more goals than they have all season on top of actually producing a 2 game winning streak and it's crickets on here. I guess the negative Philly fans only chime in when things are bad.

Yup.

I'm stuck actually doing something productive in immuno. You guys suck at helping me procrastinate.

YAY indeed. There were some scary moments for sure. Rinaldo could have been Laperrière'd but somehow wasn't. Just like last game Talbot could have been Lindros'd. The fact that both actually came back and played in the games is unreal considering Philadelphia's injury history. I also thought Berube did a nice job - especially in the 3rd period mixing up the Raffl/G/VL line, swapping in Talbot.
