I used to not mind the sign guy. Now he kind of creeps me out. There was nothing exceptional about last night’s game. That’s what the Flyers are supposed to do to a team like the Leafs and they did it. No rewards or encouragement for just doing what you’re supposed to do. But that is a 5-1-1 run that has the team above .500 for the first time since Laviolette was hired, and 7-8-1 under the new coach. Whether the Flyers recent 5-1-1 stretch is an anomaly or what everyone is hoping for, if not flat out declaring, and the Flyers are really settling under Laviolette’s new system will be discovered over the next two or three weeks. I want to take a timeout from being the stern dominatrix for a second and ask everyone a question – can someone lead me to an article or post on the origins of the ice scoop celebration?
