Recap

April 1, 2012

It's been a while since there has been a post on the blog, and a lot has happened. How about a quick recap?

He was struggling for a good bit of the season, but Ilya Bryzgalov finally found the piece of his soul to play in Philadelphia..

Bryz has been keeping opponents off the scoreboard and earning NHL honors along the way. But a chip fracture in his foot is kept him out recently, and kept him from continuing his hot streak.

Everyone learned that Nik Grossman's name actually has two n's in it, and since that revelation, Grossmann and Pavel Kubina have boosted the Flyer's defensive play.

The three team race for the four seed has been cut down to only two. The Devils have fallen out of the race, while the orange and black continue to go at it with their interstate rival Pittsburgh Penguins.

Speaking of the Penguins, Sunday was a memorable one. Down 2-0 early, the Flyers scored five unanswered goals on Pittsburgh's ice.

Late in the game, Schenn knocked Sidney Crosby on his face, and Pittsburgh decided to retaliate. What ensued?

Joe Vitale looked for and delivered a hit to Danny Briere. The two teams immediately started fighting after the hit. Even Lavi got in on it, yelling at Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma for allegedly sending his checking line out to fight after the Crosby hit.


However, the Flyers pulled through in the end, winning 6-4.

We are all caught up now.

On The Board Philly is officially open. I just have one thing left to ask....

ARE YOU READY, BROTHER?
