Marty: Really? I understand that you're flashing back Spezza's pushing & shoving from last game. Oh, well. It was your turn for a penalty.
Jim Dowd: My friend Tamika really likes your eyes. I really like you when you score! (Thanks Cote and Timonen.)
Gator: Crashing the net always works sooner or later, right? Way to "assist" Knuble's goal!
Scottie Upshall or Mike Knuble: Scoooooore!
Final Score: Flyers 3, Sens 1
Woo-hoo! We won back-to-back games, won three of four in the series with the Senators, and move into the eighth spot in the Conference (again).
Thanks, guys!

OMG: Kill Me Now
So, the free promotional item for the November 26 game against the Bruins is...a Briere bobblehead. I'm almost tempted to skip that game just so I can avoid it. The other half of me wants to go and "Just Say No."
Pre-Game Summary
First, I'm home tonight. Kristin is holding down the Flyers' HLOGer presence on her own tonight.
Our last match-up with the Ranjuhs was described with one succinct word: Blech! As a result, I really don't quite know what to write for tonight's "Dear Guys" letter. Let's try this:
Dear Guys,
Please don't give them a lot of Power Plays. Yeah, our PK is nice, but let's not push our luck.
And Richie, don't let Avery tweak you. Let Gator take a bite out of him. Or Jonesy. Heck, Coburn can laugh in his face. Kimmo and Kukkie could just coast him into the boards and stick him there. You just need to keep playing your game, not his assinine one. You're way better than that.
Good luck to every one of you!
Love yas,
Nadine
First Period
Dude, Jim Dowd beat King Henry at 4:01! Assists were by Cote and Tolpenko. Even if it was ugly, Dowd slid one past him.
Riley, c'mon. Are you ever going to let your perma-black eyes heal? I worry about you.
Darn! The Blue Shirts managed to put one on the board.
On-topic [hockey-wise], but off-topic [Flyers-wise]: The Phantoms are 13-2-1!
Second Period
Stupid Ranjuhs. Another goal...grr.
Score!! Right, so it was a Briere goal, but Richie assisted. (Go Richie!)
Guess what? The boys in the Communications department finally put information about Sami Kapanen back up on the IR. But, he's only missed three games? It feels like more. (Dear Sami, please get well soon. We could really use you back in the line-up.)
Sweater Update: Still no further tracking information. I really wanted to have it for Saturday! Well, maybe tomorrow.
Third Period
Evil Chris Drury.
Yeah Denis Tolpenko! Congrats on your first NHL goal. (Thank you to Gator and Kukkie for the assists.)
OT: We've only done this one other time this year. It was at home. Last time we won it in 48 seconds. That was then, this is now. Now, we don't win in OT and the guys are working hard to give everyone heart failure.
SO: This is what drives me nuts...shoot-outs. We have to contend with Lundqvist keeping things out of the net, and Shanny and Jagr wanting to put them in ours.
Final Score: Flyers 3, Evil Rangers 4 (SO)

10/18 Devils v. Flyers
Commentary about the stupid zebras (a.k.a "referees")
It's clear they were imported. My best guess is that they're from Trenton, Newark and Atlantic City. (They were obviously bribed.)
Boarding? For real? That's still a penalty? Who knew.
Commentary for the Devils
Asham: You s***! (Hatch, how're the knees, old man? I'm just glad you didn't face-plant right into the ice and boards. Way to keep your head up!)
Diablos in general: This is hockey, not soccer/futbol. You don't score by kicking the puck in the net...use your stick.
Brodeur: Looks like your usual "I have to suffer to the next record" play is in force. Sorry!
Commentary for the Flyers

Commentary for the Flyers
Pros
- Richie: You are just on f i r e right now.
- Sami: A goal in each of the last three games. You are so s l i c k !
- Dowd: Way to score on your twice-former team. First goal as a Flyer. Congrats!
- Lupul: Number two as a Flyer. Keep watching for those opportunities.
- Jonesy: You looked like such a gentleman when you shove guys away from Marty. It must be those hound-dog eyes! (I forgive you for the Extra spot.)
- Marty: Dude, you rock! You really like 4-0 shut-outs, huh?
- The Flyers goalies tribute video shown during the third period tonight was so much fun.
Cons
- Gagne & Briere: I love that you share the puck and assist others in scoring goals. However, quit trying for picture-perfect goals of your own. Just score one at home already, no matter how ugly it may be.
- Marty is great, but he can't do it all. Clear the puck from your zone and follow it into the one where you score goals. That goes for when you'e at even-strength, penalty killing and on power plays.
- Skate to the puck! Take it to the other end! Shoot it! Go up the middle if you have to!
- Jeff Carter's scoring streak ended tonight. (I'm sure you'll be back in there soon, Jeff!)
Update on sweater and hockey harem selection
And the sweater will read...Kapanen 24 (hockey husband)! If possible, I will purchase Biron (hockey boyfriend #1) and Jones (hockey boyfriend #2) T-shirts. I figure I need an offensive player, defensive one, and a goalie to cover all the bases.
