Another Game, Another Loss

Its now February 9th, and the Flyers still have not won a game at home since November 24th. The poor season ticket holders...

After last night's 5-4 OT loss to the Penguins, the Flyers are now 0-7 vs. Pittsburgh this season. The Flyers were 6-2 against the Pens last year.

LW Simon Gagne originally was credited with a hat trick last night, but one goal was later (and rightfully so) credited to Mike Knuble. Do the fans who threw their hats on the ice get them back?

In only 12 minutes of ice time, R.J. Umberger was a -3 with 2 PIM.

Peter Forsberg did notch three assists, however, he also had four giveaways.

How important is Peter Forsberg to the Flyers? He is the only player on the current roster with an even +/- or better. Kyle Calder sports a team worst -28.

The Flyers are now 1-5 in shootouts. In related news, Simon Gagne just tried to kiss his girlfriend and missed high and wide.

Antero Niitymaki has played well the past few games, however, his glove side is weaker than the border patrol trying to keep Americans out of Canada.

The Penguins entered last night's game 1-30-1 when Sidney Crosby is held scoreless. They are now 2-30-1 when Crosby is held without a point.

So goes the Flyers season...
