Flyers vs. Hurricanes (hopefully suspension-free)

Philly heads down to the RBC Center to face off against the Hurricanes tonight. 610 WIP is having problems with its internet feed, so I'll have to listen to the venerable Hurricanes Radio Network for the first period. I've sufficiently calmed down from the Hartnell incident, though I'm sure it will be the main topic of discussion tonight. We need a complete, 60-minute effort tonight, that's for sure. No more of this win one, lose one that seems to be our MO recently.

Derien Hatcher is finally back after missing some time from knee surgery, which gives us a bigger presence along the blueline. Biron's in the net...not too sure what's been going on with him lately, but if we can get a couple of quick goals early, that should take the pressure off him...

UPDATED - Another win for the O&B, this time a 3-1 win. Mike Knuble had himself a three-point night with a goal and two assists, and the aforementioned Hatcher got himself a goal as well. We improved to a decent 8-6 on the road this year, which is light years ahead of last season. Hopefully they can get back on a winning streak and beat Dallas Saturday night.

In other sports news, we have ourselves a full-fledged quarterback controversy in Philadelphia following A.J. Feeley's remarkable performance against the New England Patriots on Sunday. Personally, I think A.J. should get the start for the Seattle game, but Andy Reid has put his big ol' foot down and is sticking with McNabb. Also, Arsenal remained undefeated in the English Premier League by beating Wigan 2-0, Maryland beat Illinois 69-61 in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge tonight in College Park, and advanced to the Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA Men's Soccer Tournament. That is all...
