"The Trilla in Phila"

If there is such a thing as playing a big win in the worst season in a team's history last night was just that for the Philadelphia Flyers.

Charged by the former Captain Keith Primeau who was honored last night in front of a sellout crowd the Flyers played their best game of the season. They held their own the entire game and exploded for 5 goals in the third period.

It was a loud sellout crowd and seemed like the days of old, which was bitter sweet when you realize how far down they are in the standings. It will be likely next season before we get to experience something like that again.

For the first time all season the players were smiling on the bench. Despite the good feeling of the night, the reality of the situation was clear with over ten scouts at the FLyers game all trying to check out Peter Forsberg. Many teams that will actually be in the playoffs were there to see if he still has it, and are many are interested in renting him for a cup run.
