3 Division & 2 Conference Opponents
Philadelphia,PA- Block 3 looks to be an interesting one on Broad St. and although the Flyers are off to a 15-3-2 start, the feeling in the locker room is that they need to make a statement with a minimum of 7 wins in this stretch. With 3 home & home's with divisional rivals, including the 15-5-0 Stanley Cup Champion Buffalo Sabres, a poor run can cost them 12 points within the division. The Penguins & the Rangers will also be tough.
The other two home & home conference matchups have the Flyers pitted against the up & coming Columbus Blue Jackets led by Rick Nash, who is currently tied with the Flyers' Dany Heatley for the league lead with 17 goals, and the Nashville Predators. When asked about the Nashville series, Captain Mike Richards said "I haven't followed their games too closely, but we know they are a better team than the 2.1 goals per game they have. We don't care about the stats. Most of us in this room remember how we ended the regular season last year. We had more goals than they did, but we went into the playoffs & they beat the crap out of us, beat us 3 times in our building by a total score of 14-5! Will we take them lightly? No. Do we want revenge? Yeah."
