The Flyers had to play a hard hitting game to try and slow down the B-Hawks. The Flyers game-plan to stop the hawks was to hit them at the blue line and consistently hit them every time they touched the puck. The game was dramatically different when the hawks skated into the Flyers zone unimpeded until the circle. They skated the puck in deep and then the next wave of players were able to enter, creating many chances & shots.

I loved watching the playoffs. Now all I got is 2 months of baseball My least favorite sport. Too slow, too long, too boring.

I take that back - watching golf is worse.
