tonight i (finally!!!!!) got to see the flyers play in person for the first time ever. i've loved them for years but since they're an eastern conference team, (until the schedule changes this season) they only came out here every few years.
i can't believe how much they let me down. :(
2nd best power play in the league but no power play goals tonight.
top goal scorer in the league with jeff carter... but no goals out of him.
not really much snarl out them either. they just weren't the team i've been watching on tv for all this time. they only played well enough to force overtime, but they never busted out the spanking that i was expecting. though their fans didn't let me down. flyers fans have a reputation for being among the most annoying of all fans ever. i kind of loved them and kind of loved to hate them. stuck in the middle.
but all this means that the kings were doing something right, and this makes me happy. it's weird watching your favorites duke it out. the kings held the number 2 power play unit to no goals and the top scorer to no goals. our goalie was PHENOMENAL!!!!!!! and the kings won in the shootout. i can't even begin to explain how great it is watching a shootout that doesn't involve jason labarbera's ridiculous belly dive business. quick faced his first nhl penalty shot and shootout and was exceptional. i think i want to marry him.
so i was (mostly) happy with the kings but terribly disappointed in the flyers. oh well.
