Flyers Win Big

Everybody scores!

After an ugly shootout loss to the Devils, the Flyers redeemed themselves in a big way with a 9-2 victory tonight over the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Everyone got in on the action.  Jagr, Giroux, Couterier, Voracek, Talbot, JVR and others scored as the Flyers again put up a huge lopsided number on offense.  They got a lot of odd man rushes, long passes, and they took advantage on power plays.  The thing that impressed me most was the Flyers ability to score in transition.  On Talbot's goal, Voracek did a great job of setting up Talbot who was flying down the ice toward the goal.  I was also impressed with their chemistry.  There were some unbelievable set ups, and these guys looked like they had been playing with each other for years.  And the young guns continue to shine.

When the Flyers went out and signed Bryz, many people thought they were sacrificing offense for a dominate goalie.  But at this point in the season the offense looks like the strong point, and they continue to put up huge numbers every game.  They are extremely fun to watch and they can really pour it on when they need to.

And although Bryzgalov didn't have too many shots to worry about he looked solid and I think he is beginning to settle in as he seems to be getting more and more comfortable.  Although he didn't get the shutout, he still looked great and came up with some big saves.

You really can't get overly excited about this game because the Blue Jackets looked like a disinterested bunch that didn't want to be there.  But 9 goals is always encouraging and the Flyers can certainly build on this win as they get ready for a 3 game road trip.
