Flyers looking good

4-1 after one period.

So far, I am pretty impressed with how much better this team skates this year. I also said at the time of the Biron trade last year, that they finally got the guy in net that they have been lacking since a young Ron Hextall patroled the pipes. Briere has paid off so far, scored again in the first period and Gagne looks like he could have a huge season playing with him.

7-2 after 2 periods...

- Briere is pretty darn good, with a goal and 2 assists now, he is really playing some good hockey.

- Lupal is playing well tonight, got his first goal of the season.

- Nice to see Mike Richards break out a bit, he had a rough year last season. If they can get him going early, that should mean good things.

- Flyers have scored 4 goals on the power play..I think thats more then all last season.....

- Biron has given up a couple of goals so far...both on power play. That needs to get better, powe play defense.

Flyers win, 8-2.

- Richards scored short-handed (5-on-3), he looks very confident.

- Great save during the 5-on-3 by Biron.

- To many penalties by the Fly-boys, but as Coates said during the broadcast...they are getting plently of practice in a game thats been lopsided from the drop of the puck.

Flyers - Islanders on Saturday, home opener.

Keep checking back...I will try to post as much as possible during all Flyers, Sixers and Eagles games.....
