It’s been quite the weekend in Philadelphia sports at the Philadelphia Flyers exploded on the Columbus Blue Jackets for a 7-4 win, the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Detroit Pistons, and the Philadelphia Eagles worked over the Buffalo Bills to improve to a 4-4 record. It’s on the Flyers to keep the streak alive as they visit the New York Islanders this in just a little while. If Philadelphia defeats the Islanders tonight, they will match the number of wins the Eagles have in just one week of hockey. Now, that is a strong run for this hockey team!
Heading into Uniondale at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, I think the best move is to start Carter Hart in net and give Brian Elliott a well-deserved rest.
