Downed in Philly

On black Friday's afternoon debacle between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Montreal Canadiens, we really saw the real Flyers play some good hockey. Without the help of Captain and solid blue liner Chris Pronger, Jaromir Jagr, and James Van Riemsdyk, the Flyers were able to build up a second period power surge, coming back from a less than medeokre first period, tallying only 4 shots to the net. Philly scored 3 goals within a 6 minute span, not to mention 2 of those by Claude Giroux, the league's second leading scorer, with 13 goals and 16 assists, just under Phil Kessel. 

The Canadiens played a decent first period, but then it all went downhill.
Way to be blunt: the Canadiens are boring. They need some hype, pronto.

Tonight, they're facing the well awaited, now Sidney Crosby-ified Penguins. No need to recap on his work of late. Let's just say that Sidney Crosby scored more goals in one game than Scott Gomez has so for this season, which is none- by the way. Scott Gomez is deprived of goals this season, it seems. 

As much as I may complain, the Habs always seem to kick it up a notch when they're playing against a quality team. We shall see what happens. 

Puck drops at 7. 

Bon match.
