Hockey 2010-2011

[smc]

How desperate are the Flyers? As the game with the Bruins was ending, I heard some commotion outside on the street. I looked out the window and saw my 47-year-old neighbor lifting a large athletic equipment bag into the trunk of a taxicab.

I shouted out the window, "Hey, what's going on?"

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.
