The one year I have the Dish TV turned off and don’t get the NHL package would be the season my team has some incredible victories.
Last night the Flyers not only crushed their interstate rivals led by Sid the Bratty Kid, Lupul and Umberger repeated some feats not done in years.
- They won 8-2, putting them at 3-0 this season against the Penguins, now without Mark Recchi and John LeClair. Ahh, sweet revenge for being swept 8-0 by them in 2006-07.
- Lupul scored a hat trick and had a total of six points. This hasn’t been done since Lindros a decade ago.
- Umberger scored his own hat trick with Lupul’s. This hasn’t been done since 1986 by Kerr and Poulin, two other loved ex-Flyers.
I wish I could’ve seen it because two of Lupul’s and Umberber’s goals were within minutes of each other.
Now they need to save this intensity when it matters in the playoffs!
Meanwhile, my fave JR is on the IR for a week with a knee problem. Get well buddy, you have a lot of catching up to do on Lady Modano.
