Flyers are up in the series 3-1 and well I could be happier except for the fact that I have to try to watch the games online or get frequent status and play updates from my friends and family who have been watching or at the games. Now is truly when I wish I could capitalize on the fact that my father has season tickets. But honestly living in DC right now is putting a hamper on me being an overly enthusiastic Flyers fan, not the kind you want to punch in the face.
Marty Biron is playing exceptional and he is not the only one, but I have a love for the goalies. Marty is getting dangerously close to topping my love for former Flyers Goalie Ron Hextall. Though I dont think he will be able to do that but I can love the skill of both of these goalies equally.
I am not going to lie and say that the team has suffered since the loss of gange, but it had. I am impressed how they have bounced back without him and have had a successful in these playoffs. Though this is not to say that they havent given me my fair share of heart attacks when it comes to close calls or almost blowing the series against the Caps. If we beat Montreal I believe we would go on to face pittsburgh. This is going to be a tall order to shut down some key players on that team, but the team seems to be adapting well to its opponents. I mean lets be honest Montreal is ten times faster than the flyers. That is one of the reasons the Flyers have struggled since the rules change after the strike, it made the game much more wide open and swayed to teams with speed. I am dwelling!
Regardless I am impressed, and the Flyers seem to have gotten into the head of Price and Montreal who cant win regardless of out shotting the flyers this whole series. However, the Flyers need to stop blowing two goal leads in the games and need to close out the series this next game, after seeing how hard a team can fight back when down two games. Playing straight through seven games I think will leave the flyers a bit haggered to go up against a team that has been easily beating its opponents.
I have not been following the West Coast teams too closely I need to catch up on that because that is beginning to play a factor into whose hands Lord Stanley's cup will fall. I would really love to see that happen in Philadelphia but the Flyers need to continue to improve their already aggressive and successful playing style.
I am not commenting on Phillies today...I save that ranting and cheering for another day. And as for the 76ers well I cant say that I actively watch them. I am happy they made it into the playoffs!
Till the next time!

Stopping Traffic
Well I will explain the title for this post later, because I dont want to look rampantly shallow from the beginning which I am not ya jerks that think I am serious! I am currently basking in the glory that is the Flyers overtime win last night. It is redemption that we went from being the worst team in the NHL to making it past the first round of the playoffs. I have been a Flyers fan since birth! However, I am sure many Cap's fans are crying foul today, though I cant say its completely unwarranted. The one flyers goal can be called questionable but I just call it luck deal with it. Its not my fault that AO decided to show and actually play his ability the last two games. And about the penalty in overtime well its not completely unheard of but you just dont see it that much. Again deal with it!! I love the flyers but it is going to be hard going all 7 games and then having to face Montreal. Do I think that we will get past Montreal, I dont know. I think the team might be too tired to keep up momentum against the strong Canadians. The only thing in our favor is that Montreal went five games in their series so they did not get a long rest like the Penguins did. Okay enough hockey talk.
Okay I am not old by any means, I am very young. Okay ya pervs I will be 24 in May. I am defiantly feeling the post college slow down beginning to occur though. I went out on saturday like most saturdays to get my drink on. I dont get really wild and crazy with my drinking cause I do plenty of stupid or what my friends call hilarious shit sober. I venture to the drunkfest that is adam's morgan for the night, I only go in the spring because I am too lazy to venture too far in the cold! So we did a little dancing in a bar that seemed to have absolutely no ventalation. One might ask why my ass was stupid enough to stay so long at said bar. Well that is because I am an ass and was having way to much fun watching one of my friends try to seduce my best friend. I think said best friend might want to kick my ass which I will allow her to.
Okay okay I digress, on with the story! So we leave said sweaty bar and go to another bar to meet up with the smart half of my group. I am notified that ppl have a craving for falafel. I am perplexed, I kinda wanted to watch several drunk members of the group try to fit jumbo slice into their faces! So walking to the car I am roasting So I take off my top.......
Okay not what you are thinking and no I am not going to call you a perv again! I have a cami underneath of my pretty going out top that I had bought that do for the occasion. No I do not normal shop everytime I go out, I was just in the mood. So I think I might have caused a car crash, as a cab stopped in the middle of the street after my graceful removal of shirt. The cabbie yelled something out of the window but I am not sure what it was, because I was concentrating of wanting to get out of the sweat trap that was that shirt from the hades of flames that was that club. No I am not going to sit here and type to you all that I am the hottest thing walking the face of the earth. I have confidence I am an attractive girl, I work hard to stay in shape, but by no means after sweating in said death trap for 2 hours did I feel or look sexy. I am glad I could give someone a thrill for the night, as minor as that thrill was or really should have been. I spend the rest of the car ride mystified as to the car stoppage.
Anyways you can pick your head up off the keyboard, wipe up the drool on your chin as I am done my story. I am just a single girl in the city, that is lucky enough to stop traffic on 18th street and have a ton of her friends laugh as hard at me as I do at myself!
