Not sure what the Eller's are dealing with at home, but 2 games missed can't be good. Hope all is ok..

finally, some decent comments from the team..

     I'm still having a tough time with this suspension. I feel the same way on this. Thinking that Wilson was suspended for an unspendable hit.
     OK now I'm pissed off again. It could be the 10 beer talking though.

[Surreylily]

We're gonna need a couple more this period, before the inevitable collapse in the 3rd.   

[alta]

Jensen!!!!!

[Surreylily]

Meh.  Pretty much knew it wouldn't be a shut out.   

[Chaos43]

     Bad play by Sprong.

[Surreylily]

Oooooohhhhh!
Jenny!
Purdy.     

[Chaos43]

    The Flyers are having goaltender issues this year.
