We'll see how this works as I try and offer some commentary on the third period of tonight's game.
Goals by Scott Hartnell and Darroll Powe have gotten the Flyers ahead as we enter the final frame. Claude Giroux has 2 assists.
The Devils added a late 5-3 power play goal by David Clarkson, a guy who when he keeps his gloves on seems to be able to score some goals. Last year, Clarkson netted 17 goals, while compiling a not-too-shabby 164 PIMs.
This is a huge game for a number of reasons. For starters, Flyers vs. Devils games ARE always huge. It is the way of things for two teams located literally a hop, skip and a jump from each other. Ok, not literally, but sort of literally. The hop would have to be really far.
There's also the whole divisional rivalry thing.
Tonight's game, however, holds an extra special importance as the Devils need the game to tie the record for consecutive road wins. They currently sit at 9. The boys from NJ are a good third period team, so this should be a battle.
I'll keep you posted as I work my way through various homework assignments. Isn't this time of year wonderful?
