Coming off a 6-3 loss last night to the Sharks, the Flyers head to Winnipeg tonight, I mean the Flyers head to Kansas City, I mean the Flyers head to Hamilton to take on the Coyotes...whats that?... The Coyotes still play in Phoenix? But I figured the league would have allowed someone to buy the team and move them to somewhere where hockey actually means something and could actually make money? I read a couple days ago that the Coyotes LOST $5 million in October alone. Why can't Gary Bettman and the rest of the league just admit that hockey in Phoenix was a mistake and let them play where they will get more that 8,000 fans to a game?
Flyers fans will see a familiar face tonight as Scottie Upshall plays his first game against his former team. I'm sure he'll be extra pumped to play against his old buddies and he'll try to stick it to Paul Holmgren for sending him to hockey purgatory. Its a shame that no one cares about the 'Yotes out there and currently sit in 7th place in the west. They have some pretty good players, along with Upshall, Shane Doan is a solid, 2-way player who Flyer fans would love if he wore orange & black. On the blue line, Adrian Aucoin & Keith Yandle eat up a lot of minutes and provide a physical presence.
This will be the Flyers 3rd game in 4 nights, and it will be interesting to see how they react to that, since they havent had to deal with it so far this season. On paper, the Flyers should win this game easily.
Prediction:
Flyers -5
Yotes-3
