Flyers Shut Out by Pittsburgh in Season Opener
HOW EXCITING that the Flyers, in their opener last night, showed themselves to be in late-season form. Most teams need a few weeks to warm up, to shake the rust from their skates, before they begin to hit their stride. Philadelphia, though, put 40 shots on Pittsburgh's net without lighting the lamp once in a performance that channeled countless first-round playoff collapses. There's no truth to the rumor that Bob Clarke responded to the 4-0 loss by immediately signing three 6-5 defensemen who can's skate but are "tough at the blueline" and "good in the corners."
A hockey post on Shallow Center?!?! OH . . . MY . . . GAWD!!!
Last night was terrible. Here's my season preview, game preview, and game recap.

Flyers shut down to start the season just like the Cards handed it to the Phils...what's up with poor starts in Philly?
