In lieu of the Philadelphia Eagles performing well (which they decidedly aren't), and in light of purchasing NHL 09 for my sixteenth birthday a while back, I've switched from watching football to watching hockey. Now, I've seen the Philadelphia Flyers on not-very-good days; sometimes they'll go all out through the first part of the game but fall apart in the latter part, letting the other team come from behind to win. That was not the Flyers team I watched this night.
Note that the Flyers have been plagued by injuries. A few good players of theirs have been sidelined (I forget which players -- I haven't been following the Flyers through the whole season). Yet against the Washington Capitals, they played magnificently. Their goalie would have earned a shutout had the Flyers not become a little too aggressive during the third period.
Final score: Flyers 5, Capitals 1. This victory brings the Flyers' record to 19-7-3 and keeps them atop the Eastern Division.
