The Flyers just lost their first regulation game during this three-week road trip. Oh well, it was inevitable. Unlike other fans, I can live with it being their regional rivals the New Jersey Devils. I only wish it weren’t a shutout loss. Won’t matter in the long run this season since the Devils will need a miracle to be in the playoffs.
Last week was pretty exciting when Simon Gagne scored the second-fatest overtime goal in NHL history, seven seconds. It also put him in first place for the NHL in goals (29) until Ilya Kovalchuk of the Atlanta Thrashers had a scoring streak (32) to put him well ahead by three this weekend. The other exciting fact that no one could take away was them being the first team to hit 60 points this season at the half-way point.
The remainder of the week will be exciting too. I have tentative plans for wathcing the annual Flyers v. Red Wings game at the Tilted Kilt up in Round Rock. My friend, co-worker and fellow hockey fan, Bryan will be joining me there to enjoy the match with a sixer of beer as the wager at stake. I sure hope other people will accompany us because it will be a great evening.
