"Down & Out in Philadelphia"


The Philadelphia Flyers were one game away from sweeping the Cali teams on the their 4 game road trip. This would also string together a modest 3 game winning streak, to bring it home against the Penguins on Monday. Instead the Flyers after taking one step foward by crushing the best team in the NHL the ducks, 7-4, followed up a come from behind win against the kings, took two steps back getting smoked by the Sharks Saturday night.

Flash forward roughly 12 hours or so. You have the the Eagles supestar McNabb go down with a knee injury two plays into the game. In an almost harmless looking play. Not only is he down for the season, but the team sucked today. I am no football expert by any means and in the pecking order it ranks # 3 on my sports list. So, I would like to hear from the more hardcore football fans. Do we have a prayer to rebound from this?

Doesn't look like it to me. Even without #5 for the rest of the season it would be an up hill battle to make the post season after losing today. It is looking pretty bleak for all of our teams right now. Although Rick told me spring training is a mere 12 weeks away. I think it's safe to assume that the Philadelphia Phillies are our best shot to end the drought in Philly.

Which team is better:

Team A: 16-3-1
Team B: 13-2-5

Team A: 87 Goals For, 61 Goals Against (+26)
Team B: 69 Goals For, 51 Goals Against (+18)

Buffalo is the best team in the NHL assface.
