Then I remembered that he had been the goalie on Peter LaViolette's Franklin High School hockey team back in the early 1980s.
"Peter just called," my neighbor shouted up to me. "He asked me to hurry down to the Garden for a late-night tryout."
I wonder who else the Flyers have called?
Bruins are now up 3-0, after a 5-1 win tonight.

While the Bruins have played well, I think the series will be remembered more for the shitty goaltending of Philadelphia than anything else. Giving up two goals in the first 1:03 of the game can break the backs of the entire team.
It looks like it will be a Boston/Tampa Eastern final, as I now think that Philly is toast.
