There's a lot of talk that pellets (or something with bigger particles than sand) were spread in the tunnel entrance to The Flyers' bench.   Several Phiily skaters ran into a bit of trouble with 'bad wheels' throughout.   Might have been intentional. That'd be a shame because I've always held the Montreal franchise in high esteem. It'd be way beyond gamesmanship.

Out for our music/song/dance night @ McCarthy's here on Thursday night, we had a couple of drivers named Michaud in from Alberta. Big fellas and big life-long fans of Les Habs. They were along way from home and we gave 'em the royal treatment, but they really roasted me about hockey. I doubt they enjoyed the result of today's game, but I wish 'em well nonetheless.

Go Flyers!!

(btw, the music n' dance night was terrific... big bar with a good crowd and they all got quiet and gave us our due for the music. I love it when that happens.)
