After a really boring 1st period, the Flyers woke up, and defeated the Ottawa Senators last night 5-1. Apparently Ray Emery used to play for Ottawa, and he looked great, stopping 22 shots and picking up the win. Danny Briere didnt pull anything (we hope) and potted 2. Meanwhile JVR didnt show any ill effects from a broken finger & scored a pretty sweet power play goal. Blair Betts (?!) scored on the power play, and is also a very goofy looking man. The Flyers have now won 5 straight games and look exactly like we all thought & hoped they would look--solid defense, solid goaltending, and balanced scoring.
It will be interesting to see how long they can keep this streak going, they play a good Buffalo team tommorow night, then a matchup against the division leading Devils before going on a west coast trip. Regardless, its nice to see them beating teams that they should, and picking up as many points as possible early in the season. Im wondering if they will start Boosh in one of the next 2 home games, or wait to start him in a game or 2 on the west coast trip. If the defense keeps playing as well as they have been, it wont matter
If your'e a Flyers fan, you HAVE to pick up a copy of the latest issue of "The Hockey News" You'll want to frame the cover
