Flyers 2, Islanders 4

Well, everyone was back and healthy, but it was hard to tell. Maybe it was the margarita I had immediately upon arriving home (which incidentally was 6 minutes before the game started) or maybe it was one of the 3 margaritas that followed, but this game did not really hold my attention.

Yes, Sanderson and Richards were back and Forsberg was healthy, but I didn't notice their presence at all. The highlight of the game was seeing Nate Guenin play in his first NHL game, as he was called up from the Phantoms the day before. But seeing one of my Phantoms play is marred by the fact that this team really stinks. It is getting a little depressing to watch game after game when this team doesn't even show you a glimmer of hope. Okay, so we've written this season off and the best we can hope for is a good draft pick (is there anyone good in the pool this year?) but would it hurt this team to play with a little *oomph* sometimes? Saturday's loss against Pittsburgh at least had some heart to it, why can't they give us at least one period like Saturday's second period every game?

*sigh*
