Game Day: Flyers




The team will be riding a huge high from the five goal third period last night. The Flyers don't have Nittymaki anymore, so they can no longer count the Thrashers and an automatic win.

It'll probably be a light crowd at Philips tonight since the biggest college football game of the year in the state of Georgia will be kicking off at 8pm over at North Ave and Techwood. Those of y'all who will be downtown need to cheer on the team that much louder to let them know that we appreciate the exciting effort they've put on of late.

Oh, and Zach Bogosian needs to drop the gloves with Chris Pronger, then drop Pronger.

Check this--Allan Muir agrees with TBC's assessment of the Kubina deal, calling it the "steal of the year"

Agreement on all counts, GPY.

Tech should have everything going for them tonight, but in a rivalry game, you just never know. Thursday night's Longhorns/Aggies game and last night's Bama/Auburn game have already demonstrated that this weekend.

Unlike last year, the Jackets are coming in knowing that they can win. I expect to see some quick points, then maybe a little stall in the second quarter, and another explosion in the third with CPJ's half time adjustments.

Crowd/tickets sold was announced as just over 16,000...Listening to the Philly telecast over the web, it was awfully quiet until the final few seconds...

Philly announcers were quite complementary towards the Thrashers; the Philly boards are just DOGGING their team.

BTW: Keith Jones may have found his niche: doing color for the Flyers rather than sounding like an idiot in the Versus studio...
