Flyers Exorcize Devils…Like You Expected Something Original?

The Flyers put forth another great sixty minute effort, and spoiled Martin Brodeur’s 1000th NHL game, earning their first win in New Jersey since ze Germans kidnapped the Lindbergh baby.

Ray Emery continued his brilliant start, stoning the Devils early, as the Flyers killed off two 5 on 3 situations. Emery was finally solved in the third period, allowing  a powerplay goal and short handed tally, but by then it was all over but the shouting.

There’s really not a whole lot to add to this, so on to Stuff I Noticed:

-Not to harp on it, but Chris Lee is the worst official, in any professional sport, on any planet. He makes Tim Donaghy look like Art Skov. I am sure that we could teach a retarded chimpanzee to skate and he’d be as good or better than Lee.

This guy steals candy from babies, kicks canes out from the hands of the blind and smells like David Crosby's nutsack

- The Flyers have a fourth line now that can cycle the puck in the offensive zone for 30 seconds at a time and look good doing so. This is a far cry from the Dan Line of the late 1990′s. Jesus, those guys sucked.

-Matt Carle played one of, if not his very best games as a Flyer. He was fantastic, outside of one slight mistake in the first period. However, I blame that on Chris Lee.

-Quick Poll: Is Jacques Lemaire a Vampire or The Highlander? The guy’s appearance hasn’t changed in 30 years.

-Thanks to NHL Center Ice for reminding me just how awful the Pittsburgh play by play team is. I’d rather have to listen to Don Johnson’s album for a month than listen to them for a whole game.
