Okay so I didn't get to watch (I'm very disappointed in you, DirecTV). I missed out on some serious Flyers hockey action tonight. As exciting as "play by play" on foxsports.com is, I decided to retire to an absolutely extraordinary reading of Michael Chrichton's "Jurassic Park". Yeah, we lost, nothing a faithful Philadelphian couldn't predict however. I dare not dream that we'll be winning the Stanley Cup this year, but we'll be squashing these Buffa-loons, you can't just go away quietly after getting all these guys pumped up with the signing of Peter Forsberg.... plus, Hitchcock just isn't the kind of guy to pack his bags after the first round, ask anybody.
That aside, I'm actually not rooting for the Flyers (completely) this post-season. I'm cheering my socks off for the Red Wings, or perhaps I should say, Steve Yzerman. It would be one heck of a happy ending (why wouldn't you retire?) for this guy to go out on hoisting one last Stanley Cup above his head. Go Stevie!!!
