Last night – Flyers 3, Canadiens 2
Look for an upcoming National Institute of Health study concluding that people who do not watch playoff hockey live on average seven-point-eight years longer than those who do watch. Last night’s Game Three of the NHL’s Eastern conference semi-finals was one for the defibrillators.
That the Philadelphia Flyers, last season’s worst team in a thirty-team league, are in the playoffs, let alone leading two games to one in the second round, and are doing so against the Eastern Conference season leader, the Montreal Canadiens, is as improbable as it is incredible.
As a Surgeon General might put it: Watching Game Four tomorrow night at seven could be hazardous to your health.
Go Flyers!
Gotta love it though. Its good to see some enjoyable hockey games.
