Nothing makes me happier as a Flyer phan than to wake up in the morning check Comcast Sports Rise and see that the Flyers dropped an 8 spot on their opponent and one of our goons got involved in an ugly incident that has the ever dwindling hockey world up in arms.
Much to my excitement, the Flyers got goals from tkids such as Jeff Carter, Joffrey Lupul, RJ Umberger and two from Mike Richards, as well as a goal each for each member of the top line on their way to an 8-2 romp over the Canucks. Jesse Boulerice almost damn near decapitated Ryan Kesler with this crosscheck:
Expect Jesse to join Steve Downie in Gary Bettman's version of the NHL Graybar Motel for at least the next 10 games.
In any event, I'm not jumping to conclusions after only 3 games, but this Flyers team looks much improved over last year's monstrosity. It looks like it is going to be a fun winter with this team.

Old Time Hockey is F'in right Tone. Bunch of suspensions...so what? I like the return to the Broad Street Bully version of the Flyers. Makes the rest of the NHL worry about what they're gonna run into when they make a stop in PHI.
Let the rest of the league turn into a European dance recital, with the players tap-dancing around each other, not wanting to get too close, lest they incur a 100 game suspension for looking at Colin Campbell the wrong way.
That was one hell of a hit. I'm surprised that Kessler was even able to get up after that.
I like rougher hockey too. The game that they play now is more like a prom than a hockey game. But it's bush league when you hit a guy like that when you're up 7-2.
Let's just hope we'll be able to kill off all those penalty minutes we'll be hit with for plays like that.
