"Orange and Black Saturday"

They needed over time, but Simon Gagne lifted the Flyers to their first win on home ice since Black Friday at the Watch Over You Center last night. The Flyers knocked off the equally pathetic Saint Louis Blues when they had 4 on 3 peco power play. It was Micheal Leightons's first start and action at all as a Flyers. Leighton cliamed off waivers a month ago is likely to slide into the #2 spot if the Flyers are able to find any takers for Robert Esche at the trade deadline. This plan hit a snag with Esche having hip problems right now. Leighton had been set down to the phantoms to get his game ready. He played alright I guess. Most the goals weren't really his fault, but at the same time he wasn't anything to write home about. At any rate I hope he still gets a start this week I would like to see him in action again in hopes that we found some sort of waiver steal. The win puts the Flyers 11 points out of 29th place (out of 30) and 26 points out of a playoff berth. This is as of Sunday morning.
