<<< the puck stops there >>>
I finally got to see the Philadelphia Flyers play a game this season. I
can't remember the last time I've seen such a well coached team. They do
everything perfectly. They're always in the right position, make the right
play - you have to be perfect to beat them for a single goal. If they can
make the Islanders look like a bunch of school kids, I'm not sure anyone
can beat them - but then people said that about the Oilers 2 years ago.
On the subject of the Islanders-Flyers - has anyone else noticed that the
Islanders never get a break from the officials this year. There were far
more penalty shots called against them than anyone else (sorry, I haven't
got the stats handy), and they always seem to get the borderline calls
against them. I realize I have a biased view but still ... Is the
league actively against them? And why?
