My Flyers take on a tough division rival tonight in the New York Rangers. Historically, these two teams hate each other and every contest between the two over the past couple of years has been intense, exciting, and fun to watch hockey.
The Flyers have taken over first place in the Atlantic Division after claiming last in the league in 2006. The additions of Danny Briere, Jason Smith, and Kippo Timonen have sparked this team to play like the old Flyers us fans have been used too.
The Rangers added Scott Gomez and Chris Drury in the offseason which pretty much made them a lock as favorites to take the Atlantic Division. However, they currently sit second to last place in the Atlantic with a .500 record. Either way you look at it, tonight is a statement game for moth teams.
Any hockey fan who is able to catch this game tonight either in the Philly/New York areas or on hockey cable packages will definetely not be wasting their time. These two teams play a very physical game against each other and every player brings it in this intense rivalry. Should be a good game and I'll post later with some analysis after the game.
