Well that was just about as surprising as Montel Williams and the Progressive lady both slamming 5 Hour Energy Drinks and making a commercial where they bang and talk about premium financing.
After almost two periods of leaving fat rebounds in front of Marty Brodeur and loose pucks in our own high slot James Van Rhymestein energizes the Wach, and the Flyers bench, with a snapper that beats Monsieur Le Big Mac and Harntell and Carter follow up with a tally of their own. And the Flyers come back from two goals down for the first time all season to send Ilya and the Devils on a two game skid.
Very, very surprising.
The Flyers killed off 16 powerplays, allowed 1 powerplay goal, scored 1 powerplay goal, allowed a short-handed goal, and killed a guy - all on special teams. What a night. I bet you anything Zenon Konopka sees that box score today and breaks something when he realizes Daniel Carcillo earned 10 minutes the easy way. And yes, that was a dive. Don't even kid yourself. He does it all the time, which is pretty much the only thing I don't like about him besides his weak play on the puck when it comes around the boards. But just like Carcillo dove so did Zach Parise with less than two minutes left in the game. An NHL forward knows he's going to get pressure from behind along the boards. When one of the strongest lower bodies in the game crumples like paper cup after being bumped by Kimmo Timonen that's a dive. And a Redneck.
There were about 7,439 embellishments in last night's game and I'm sick of it - old time hockey, Eddie Shore. Not shaking your hand when you get slashed or throwing your head back like JFK when you get high sticked. "The refs force them to do it." Bullshit. When you get hit in the chin with a stick your head moves back - they see that. They don't need the scream and the arm flailing. The checking to see if your face is still on.
Sorry to be such a downer but all the lame shit has Rabbit so scared out there that the poor kid can't keep his head still during an interview. He's rattled!
The Flyers have 3 games until 80% of them get 2 weeks off. We just proved we can beat the Devils and the Canadiens are standing between us and going into the break in sole possession of 6th place in the East. And getting us back to that 7 more wins that regulations losses mark I've been looking for since we were 12-5-1.
