FLYERS CONSUME SHARKS
Bringing a playoff-like intensity to every shift of the game, the Philadelphia Flyers attained one of their most satisfying wins of the season as they tore through the San Jose Sharks by a 5-2 count at the SAP Center last night.

The Philadelphia Flyers are no different from any other hockey club: They become a much tougher team to play against when players keep their feet moving and pay attention to detail. Good goaltending, of course, is another key component of success.
