I don't know what to say.

I'm in shock for sure. Having been a fan for such a short time (in hockey years) tonight was something I never thought I'd see.

A few notes (cmon, you didn't expect a glowing review, did you?):

What in the fuck is wrong with fucking Coburn? From where I was sitting, he couldn't keep the puck on his stick, turned it over five billion times, and couldn't clear the zone. He was the worst part of the game, and made it difficult for me to enjoy the game when I saw him on the ice.

The Richie SH goal was the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

Claude Giroux can not be taken off the puck.

I was stunned when Richie grabbed the trophy. But I guess it's all good. This team seems unjinxable.

They now make Michael Leighton t-shirts, bitches.

Flyers are going to get dismantled by the Hawks.

What the fuck is wrong with fucking Coburn?

The Habs fan in me felt really bad for the Habs after the empty net goal when the Habs just stayed down on the ice. They knew their goose was cooked.

Um, I'm sure there is more but I'm not exactly coherent right now!

I hate watching Pens games.

ghey.

Seriously, this game gave me about 3 heart attacks and a stroke. I can't take it.

Is Giroux ever going to score again? I can count on my fingers and toes the number of wide open nets he's seen over the last 4 games, and he never gets it in. Very frustrating. I'm thinking maybe his girlfriend feels the same way.

Flyers fans are on cloud nine, Pens fans are suicidal. No need for either. Did you see the game? Yeah, Flyers won, but Pens seemed to have better sustained offensive pressure. Or is that just my hockey pessimist talking? The Pens are good...really good, even in the midst of their losing streak, and we were lucky to come away with a win.

Leighton continues to come up big when he needs to, even though he still makes us all very nervous.

That's all I've got.

Oh, also: Jaro Jaro Jaro!

Oh Leights!

As the owner of not one, but two Michael Leighton jerseys I guess you could say I'm happy to see him back in orange and black, even though I imagine his stint this time around will be just as short as the last time around. And before you get too excited about him winning his first two starts, let me remind you that he won his first two starts the last time around. The thing with Leighton is that when he is good, he's good. But then he falls apart and can't get himself back together again.

It's nice to see the boys get two much needed wins, and start to see some of their confidence come back. They've got a rough week ahead, and I hope they can keep it up. For a moment last night, the Flyers looked like a good team, but then I remembered they were playing Carolina!

In other news:
* Rod will be going to the Winter Classic. I'm staying home to watch it from the warm comfort of my couch. Anyone else going?

* I got a Pronger jersey for Christmas. I did not ask for it, so hopefully my jinxing powers won't be in effect.

* Since Leighton is back, I have a legit excuse to wear my Leighton jersey. I have worn it the past two games, and they have won the past two games. I won't be wearing it tonight, since I didn't realize there was a game and scheduled myself to work.

* Jaro! Jaro! Jaro!

That is all. Hope you had a great holiday!

I made it through an entire game!

This cat should have been in the chair. Then he would have stayed awake.

Wow! I was off on a Saturday! I actually thought about going to the game in person, but cmon, it's just the Blues. Or as Rod says, "Who?"

The secret to making it through an entire game is closing the laptop and sitting in the chair, not on the couch. Pay attention and sit up straight!

At one point I was actually yelling at the TV, so that's a good sign too. A few points:

* Yes, Carcillo did embellish a teensy little bit, but not enough to warrant a diving call.

* Happy to see the orange jerseys. Whenever I see the black jerseys now, I think I'm watching footage from last season.

* Am I crazy, or has Emery not really been tested much this season? Or does he just make it look easy?

* How sick was Giroux's shootout goal?

* How sick was Giroux's shootout goal?

* How sick was Giroux's shootout goal?

Next up for the Flyers, Kovalev and the Sens on Thursday. You know I'll be there.

Uh, game? What game?

Um, yeah so I forgot there was a game and I had to work last night so I have no idea what happened other than the fact that the Flyers won and Laliberte now has more goals this season than Gagne. Anything else I need to know?

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?
