Yes, I attended last night's game. It was a last-minute decision on my part. Right now, I'm hoarse and putting together a write-up for any Gentle Readers I might still have. Check back later today.
However, to the row of Leafs fans in section 221 last night: It was nice to have you there last night. Thanks for keeping a good attitude. Way to pitch in on the yelling. Come back any time.
Okay, I'm back a day later than I expected. Sue me.
This is going to be a brief run down of impressions from the game since I no longer take notes at the games.
Thanks, Flyers, for winning another one while I was in attendance. It's a rare sight for me this season, but I truly appreciated.
After an 8-5 final score, once again, I want all talk of increased goal size or smaller goalie equipment banished. Some nights you're going to have a low-scoring game and sometimes you won't. Deal with it, NHL.
How interesting was that first period? I couldn't believe it when I saw tape-to-tape passing. Even I was a little overwhelmed with that 5-0 score at the end of the first. But, as co-workers Brandon and Justin could tell you, I wasn't ready to chirp at the Leafs fans about it because we've blown leads before.
No disrespect meant to the former Darth Gerber, but he looked a little like Swiss cheese on Friday. Somewhat fitting, considering he is Swiss. Personally, I think he's suffering without the flat black helmet.
Jeff Carter's hat trick was awesome. I can't tell you how nice it was to be there for that milestone, especially considering who was in attendance and knowing the smack he talks about Blondie. Peaked my @$$.
In summary, I'm bummed that I can't get 'ritas at the games any more, but glad I attended another game this season and it was a win.
Limiting my online time to enjoy the weekend,

Glor-i-ous!
That was so much fun!
Because my only two other trips to Broad and Pattison resulted in loses, this season has been a little disappointing for me as a fan...until last night. Last night was freakin' awesome. Three key reasons:
Something I must point out to my non-Philadelphia readers: Flyers fans do not boo Santa. Santa was in section 216 or 215 last night, and he was greeted with cheers. (Drunken Eagles and Sixers fans are responsible for booing Santa, not Flyers ones.)
Knuble: Looooved your PPG. Your positive attitude, willingness to hang out at the net, and make like a screen keep serving you well. Congrats on number 100!
Blondie: Woo-hoo, another SHG! Tell me, what kind of noise does one of your wristers make, if any, when you score? With the team leading the league on them, and needing just one more to match last season's total SHG count, this is such a fun statbit to track. (Nice intermission interview, by the way.)
Lups: Thank you for putting one in on even strength. Way to do that during the second while I had a very good view of it.
Dear Captain: Another pretty one I saw clearly from my cheap seats. And a three point night? Bitchin'!
Gagne: Way to make sure that PPG entered the net! A second player with a three point night. I'm so glad you're back and playing like your old self.
Interesting off-topic factoid of the night: The announcer still cannot pronounce Ovie's last name with any consistency. How many seasons has he been playing in the NHL? Just make sure you balance that out with a Cindy Crosby, 'kay?'
Interesting game-related factoid: How sick is it that we have six players with 10 or more goals this season already? And I thought last year's seven players with 20 or more goals was cool.
Having a happier holiday season,
Flyers.Femme

- Dude, we won!
- We caused a few of the Avs to lose their composure...though not as badly as the Pens last season.
- I was about 8 seats over and one row behind Shawn!

Hunh?
WTH to WTF, all in one game.
Imagine what kind of points damage the Flyers could do if the guys played 60 minutes of hockey in every remaining game of the regular season like they did the last 20 minutes, overtime, and the shoot-out on Thursday. *Shudder, sigh*
I truly cannot comprehend it.
Congratulations to Scott Hartnell on his hat trick. Oh, and we won on a shoot-out? Sweet! (Though kinda unnecessary...)
Amazed,
Flyers.Femme
P.S.: I wish I could have been a fly on the wall in the locker room during the second intermission.

WttH: Two Inductions
Slick Addition
Simon Gagne, you rock!
Sure, last year was not your friend what with the multiple installments of the most feared diagnosis known to the Flyers organization: concussion. Most recently, we've seen you battling the flu and the dehydration that goes with it.
With last night's game winner, you've scored your 2008-09 Flyers.Femme Hockey Harem entrance.
Goalie Addition
Now for some harem controversy. Goalies seem to be take 'em or leave 'em for Philadelphia. Everyone has an opinion on the Biron & Niittymäki Show, myself included.
However, for his play during the Whalercanes game on Saturday, Antero Niittymäki also earned his harem induction for the season.
Waiting in the Wings
Ossi Vaananen, you won me over Saturday night. You have added yourself to my ranks of favored Finnish players from Vantaa and Finnish Flyers.
I admit I was straddling the fence about you. It's not that I doubted your ability to contribute to the club, so much as I couldn't be sure there was truly room in this fangirl's heart for another player from dear Sami's hometown. And while you will never, ever eclipse Sami Kapanen in my hockey universe, you are THIS close to causing me to add a third d-man to the harem.
So, put that body in front of a few more shots. Stifle a few more attempts by jazzy forwards from opposing teams. Hell, get booed for doing an ice-side, Coatsie interview that you - fairly tactfully - end in order to save Coatsie from imminent death for delaying Mites on Ice.
Dear Guys
Best of luck for tomorrow's Dollar Dog night game versus the Caniac Nation. Hope that old schooler Whalers sweater guy is at the game.
Now, I must finish anchoring the light strands for my hockey open house on Friday night.

Dude, That Sucked!
Opening night post from one year ago: Check it out.
Opening night for 2008-09: There was a game on October 11, 2008? Really?
I saw at least one move straight out of the Mighty Ducks films there. You know, when they stunk at the beginning and Coach Bombay was still phoning it in on his probation?
Here's what I feel comfortable writing about the home opener:
And she sucked out all of the team's mojo, just like - sorry! - Hextall did last year with his Flyers Hall of Fame induction.
In-house entertainment guys, a small note: When games suck and you play House of Pain's "Jump Around," please focus on Shawn. Don't make us wait for the end of the game. Just give us the goods then. 'Kay?
Niitty: I say this as a fan...dude, I love you! Please play like that all season long. It made me smile and kept me happy.
Kukkie: You have my number! I wore #3 all three years I was on the varsity teams in high school, all three seasons of the year.
As for the rest of the game:
That is all for now. I must go hang with the boys at Four Habs Fans for tonight's game.
P.S.: My condolences to the Cherepanov family and all you Rangers fans out there.
P.S.S.: Blogging will be a bit off this week due to work deadlines. Check out Kristin, K-Mart, or Ryan and Froin.
Oh, and how's that for 200 posts?

Here's what I feel comfortable writing about the home opener:
- Team promotion crew tried to page homage to the Spectrum
- Forgot to pay due homage to Kate Smith on an important anniversary (see comments on previous post)
- S.P. came to the building.

- Thank you, dear Captain, for getting the goal scoring contest between 18 and 48 off on the right foot!

Puck's Shot: Obviously!
No Surprises in The AnnouncementMike Richards stepped into an "A" last season in a vote of confidence from coaching and management. After leading the team in scoring and being named the Most Awesomely Responsible-Looking Boyfriend by SportSquee for the 2007-08 season, it was time for his promotion to the "C." (And SportSquee's now featured him as the epitome of the Home Depot Husband.)
Simon Gagne wore an "A" last season while he played, too. As long as we keep him and he contributes to the bottom line, he'll stay in the running for a leadership role on the team.
Kimmo Timonen wore the "A" in 2007-08 when Gags was out. No surprise here, but lots of happiness and "about darn times" in Casa Flyers.Femme.
P.S.: I may have to reconsider the Richie Tshirt purchase this season. I like to go for less obvious selections, and with his captaincy confirmed, everybody and his/her grandmother will be buying that one.

Gettin' Ready
Yes, Joe. Those pants do make your butt look big. It's okay, I love how you rocked that line! See you tomorrow night.
Dear Flyers,
Yeah! A point!
Here's hoping it leads to an endless flow of positivity.
Love yas,
Nadine
Really? Kristin and I have only been saying this for, like, awhile now. Jim VDM, good luck in Calgary and I hope it all works out for you.
Finally, I think we all knew this was coming. Doctors have advised Simon Gagne to sit out the rest of the season. Three concussions in one season. I think it's a smart move, even though I know it has to be frustrating for Simon and the rest of the guys.
P.S. on the NHL commercials front: Peter Forsberg makes me think of Beowulf when he's all facial-hairy. (Yeah, lit types, please don't blast me. I know it's an Old English poem and Peter's clearly Scandinavian, not Anglo-Saxon. Bite me.)
My point is that I really enjoyed this commercial.
Peter, I salute you for displaying your sense of humor by filming it. Sorry we won't be seeing you any time soon. Take care and best of luck in all your ventures!

1/16 Panthers v. Flyers
First Intermission
I don't care what happens in the next two periods. Four goals by four different guys (Kimmo, Simon, Danny and Scott) makes me smile three out of four times.
Guys, that being said, please play like you are on fire, 'kay? Thanks!
Second Intermission
Dudes, that wasn't quite the "on fire" I meant. Please check yourselves before you come back on the ice.
After some reflection, here are the keys to the third:
1. No unnecessary penalties against us. (None would be optimal, guys.)
2. No sloppy plays, Hatch. You've been around too long to do that.
3. Act like our blue line is your baby sister's virginity: Post a "No Trespassing" sign and lock it down.
Third Period Reflections
So, no, I'm not a Briere fan. But in a game like tonight's, I really don't mind his empty-net goal. Good on him, because insurance is nice to have.
And it's about time we win at home.
I'm calling Kimmo Timonen as a star of the game (1 G, 2 A). My other two votes go to Niitty and that Vokoun guy - just to show that I can be a good fan of the winning team. However, Richie is awarded the third star, which was the more likely scenario with his two assists.
Shameless Plug: Vote!
Fellow HLOGer Sherry's Scarlett Ice is nominated for "Best Sports Blog" in the Canadian Blog Awards. Congratulations, Sherry!
Now, I don't know if this is allowed. If not, I'll claim ignorance of the process by reason of being from the U.S.A. Anyway, voting is open but you can only vote once. Please consider casting one for Sherry.

1/10 Flyers v. Evil Rangers
A.K.A: The Scott Hartnell Show
Can you say "hat-trick?" Hartsie can! Way to step in to the void following Lups' injury and to carry on the tradition.
Question: Seeing as I'm not a stat-bit queen, does any other team have three separate players with hat-tricks this season? (What about a single player with back-to-back hat-tricks?)
Welcome to the Jungle
Congratulations, Rosie, on your first goal of the season! I don't know why but I thought you already had one. Mentally, I probably changed one of your assists into a goal some time ago. Again, congrats!
Welcome Back, Gags!
Simon, way to re-enter the line-up! I know that the Flyers faithful are very happy to see you skating at game time. Pushing one in on your 2/3 French Connection line is just icing on the cake.
Other Notes
Dear Niitty,
You had me scared for 20 minutes. Way to stick it to the Blue Shirts.
Dear Guys,
Okay, now I'm looking forward to Saturday's game! It's the Bruins. Remember, those funny guys who have trouble keeping their heads up? Yeah, them. So, please fall over backwards - literally, if you must - to keep them from earning any of you a suspension.
Love yas,
Nadine

10/20 'Canes v. Flyers
See you in section 210A tonight! Watch for a recap tonight or tomorrow.
EDIT: Post-game review - I ponied up the cash for the cheapest ticket available for the game. I had to be present for this particular match-up since it would be a big test for the team.
Message for Kristin: I'm so glad we could meet-up before the game this time. Plus, I had fun watching the Phantoms' sweater auction, too. We definitely need to pitch the neutral away game idea to the Sisters Ookie. "Dustbunny" is in their IPB glossary.
Warm-ups
Ah, Margaritaville.
My fellow HLOGer Kristin over at Eager to Go Psycho and I met at the AT&T Pavilion for a drink, then meandered down to her right-behind-the-goal seats to watch warm-ups, chat a little, and make plans for hockey-world domination.
General topics ranged from the guy I saw when I came in that was rocking an old-school Whalers sweater - kudos! - to the fact that neither of us is a hater. (Specific topics related to the strategic planning are not up for public discussion with non-HLOGers...sorry, but we're keeping that under lock and key in a Pepto pink, Girls-Only ClubHouse.)
Of course, one of these times - probably the night I'll be joining her there for a whole game - we'll be shooting the breeze and Marty or Sami will skate up and say, "You ladies do realize we can hear you, right?"
First Period
As warm-ups end, Kristin and I head for our separate seats in the highest rows of the various 200s. I am blown-away by the hustle the guys show in the first period. Have they been reading all of the Flyers fans' blogs during down-time? It seems like it. Just as I am once again muttering about Briere and Gagne needing to just get an ugly but real goal, Gagne scores. Finally.
Of course, Kukkonen earns one of the infamous hooking penalties right aftwards, the 'Canes go on the power play, and freakin' Eric Staal scores on Marty. Okay, so no shut-out tonight. I can live with that.
Second Period
It looked like what I expected in the first period. I don't know what else to say about it. 'Canes (former Flyer) Justin Williams scores towards the end of the second.
Third Period
If I were the type to bite my nails when I am nervous, I would have been doing that during the third. Instead, I was sitting on the edge of my seat, watching and waiting, and being conned by several "almosts."
However, Richie scored about 1:30 into the period. Thank God. Mass signs of joy!
The Wachovia Center got louder as the period wound down. When the 'Canes called a time-out, the fans got even louder. Of course, the guys in the booth put on some really good tunes and showed more footage of Shawn dancing at the top of the stands. (I l o v e d the guy with the "Insert Here -->" sign.)
Even though it was still tied, our hope was bolstered. Hey, we can do overtime! We could even win it.
Overtime
And we did. 48 seconds in.
Hatch, you came coasting in and fired on Grahame. I am so proud of you for that. He stopped you, but couldn't hang on to the puck and Gagne shoved it in. (You looked downright fast in OT! I want more of that.)
Post-game: Phantoms game sweater auction
Kristin and I headed over to the Spectrum for the Phantoms' game sweater auction. It was highly entertaining. Highest cost sweaters: Boucher and Munroe. (Everybody loves a goalie!)
Some of Kristin's die-hard Phantoms friends know a few of the guys on the team. It was fun to see their interaction during the auction. (I loved the Matsumoto story!)
