Flyers

Always thoughts about that first Cup win when Boston returns to town...

The contest against the Bruins today should prove interesting for a variety of reasons.

Can the team win its eighth straight?

How will that top line continue to adjust to life without Giroux?

Is the defense going to continue its improved play without Pronger?

Many positives for this remixed group of Flyers this year. Can they keep it up facing severe adversity?

Behind the scenes access + Flyers notes

TY to over ---910,000 readers--- of my Yahoo Sports, Interview and News articles since 2/1/11. http://contributor.yahoo.com/user/977720/sean_obrien.html
Behind the scenes access -

Today will be a special day for all followers of this blog, on Facebook, Twitter and my Yahoo Sports features.

'Stay tuned' tomorrow afternoon and into the night for exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the Flyers-Canadiens 'Black Friday' matchup.

Flyers - 

Any game against the Montreal Canadiens evokes memories of season's past.

They could be as far back at the 1970s battles, won in the later part of that decade by the Habs...

or of the 1980s back-and-forth barbs that involved Mike Keenan's great groups...

or of the 1990s trades that involved Recchi being dealt for Desjardins and LeClair in 1995 and then returning in 1999 for Zubrus.

There have been some interesting 2000s era playoff battles, including the defeat of Montreal after that historic comeback against the Bruins in 2010. (To have not beaten a beatable Blackhawks squad in the Final will hurt until the third Cup is won.)

Phillies – Cards – Game 5 - & Flyers win season opener

TY to over ---760,000 readers---of my Yahoo Sports, Interview and News articles since 2/1/11.http://contributor.yahoo.com/user/977720/sean_obrien.html

Phillies -

Well, it all comes down to this. Halladay vs. Carpenter.

After 104 combined wins in the regular and postseason, if the Phillies win number 105 they will advance.

If they end the season with an overall record of 104-63 it will be a disaster.

If they lose this series, they will actually be in the midst of a three-year decline.

Win the World Series in 2008.
Lose the World Series in 2009.
Lose the NLCS in 2010.
And then … I don't even want to type it.

Can they win? Of course. But, to have blown two games so far is hardly inspirational.

Flyers -

Meanwhile, off in Flyerville... they beat the Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins 2-1 in the season opener.

Everyone looked sharp. Bryzgalov, Jagr, Couturier, Pronger, etc.

This hockey team will fly way under the radar in Philly for a long time this season. Somewhere after Christmas the fans will realize that the house cleaning that happened was a positive, gutsy decision on the part of Ed Snider and Paul Holmgren.

A decision that has set the team up for a good, long-term, road ahead.
