 Nice sweater grandma.
Tonight the Flyers continue their playoff push by visiting the always tough Buffalo Sabre. Olympic MVP Ryan Miller and company will look to break their recent losing streak as the Flyers try to bounce back from an ugly performance against Florida. It's Friday night and we got a great Eastern Conference battle. Might I suggest an ice cold Sierra Nevada to compliment your Claude Giroux?
The biggest question I have is how does Leights rebound from Wednesday's not so spectacular performance. He gave up 4 softies and zapped any momentum from the Flyers offense in the 1st and 2nd period. You can't blame just Leighton for the Panthers game, as the defense has looked pretty crappy for the first two games back from the break. Leighton is our #1, for better or worse. To make a playoff run, we need him to be sharp. Getting lit up for 4 then playing in a loud barn like Buffalo will be tough. Team defense will be important tonight as Buffalo looks to break out of their goal scoring funk...they rarely get more than 2. Buffalo brought in ex-BlueJacket Raffi "Baby Beluga" Torres at the deadline to bolster their attack. Torres will play on the powerplay as well as the top 2 lines, so keep an eye on the overhyped new Sabre.
If Darrol Powerhaus can't go look for Ville Leino to get another go with the club. Leino was the lone bright spot for the Flyers against the Panthers, and it'll be interesting to watch his output if he suits up. Clearly, the offense doesn't seem to be the problem right now, it's the defense. I don't know if its the fact that Parent messed up some chemistry or the entire unit stopped communicating, but a team filled with snipers like Tim Connoly and Derek Roy can't be given as many odd man rushes as the Flyers gave up to the 'Ning and Panthers.
Buffalo has dropped 2 already this week. They also sit 6 points ahead of us in the standings. Also, it's Buffalo, which should be renamed "America's Back Acne". Motivation should be to capacity in both locker rooms. The Flyers got lit up for 7 against the Florida Panthers. Not good. The angst of the trade deadline is gone and the team should be focused on playing sound hockey. Buckle up for the weekend. Sabres/Flyers should be epic. Cheers to Ryan Miller, but fuck their wing eating, losing their NFL team to Toronto butts off. Let's Go Flyers.
