Poor Michael Leighton

Did the Canes forget about how the Flyers like to make him look silly? I think this was his first start of the season, because they wanted to play Wardo tonight against the Sharks, so I'm not sure we can get all excited about this win.

A 6-1 win over a rusty backup goalie? Not a reason to get excited.

Sure, I'll take the points, but no need to get too excited yet. Especially now that we have to worry about Briere and Parent along with Gagne.

Watching the games at home is much more difficult than watching them in person. I'm so easily distracted by other things! Sadly, I miss the next two games, because I somehow scheduled myself to work at night on Monday and Friday. I'm really rusty now that I don't have my season tix!

In other news, Rod got Hartnell's sweat towel after the game. He and his friend acted like two girls fighting over the bride's bouquet, but in the end, Rod got it. Gross, or cool?

So, what's your opinion on getting excited?

I'd like your answer in triplicate, please.

Poor Leighton. But if they had played Ward, the outcome would have probably been the same. Contract extension curse!

Kevin, I did notice my overuse of getting excited, but I decided to leave it in, because hey it's a blog and who cares, right?

(That, and I was running out the door to get to work. At least I get a post up the day after the game, which is more than I can say for some Flyers blogheads.)

That is cool about the Hartnell towel! I think he is my favorite Flyer. Crazy, eh?

HA! Also, when I saw Leighton was playing, I immediately thought of you!

Definitely gross! LOL! Of course I spent Saturday morning at the rink with two dads comparing the stinkiness of their sons' equipment like high school jocks! But that game was so great, I had to watch it twice! Considering the last few spankings we got it was nice to see them win and NOT in a shoot out!
