Flyers/Caps Square Off Tonight – Timonen Might Not Play
In what may be a developing rivalry between two Eastern Conference powers, the Flyers will head to D.C. to take on the Alexander Ovechkins tonight. Alex has 10 goals in his last 10 games so shutting him down will be the Flyers main task, but it will be made quite a bit tougher given that Kimmo Timonen may miss the game with the flu.
For those of you keeping tabs on the goaltending situation: Antero Niittymaki gets the call between the pipes for the Flyers tonight while Biron will get the nod tomorrow against the Kings.
Sixers Blow ANOTHER Late Lead
For the sixth time this season the Sixers lost a game where they led heading into the final 10 seconds. This time their poor free throw shooting kept the Nets in it, and Devin Harris finished it off with a miracle half-court heave.
There are questions over whether Harris got rid of the ball in time, whether the clock started on time, and whether or not he traveled, but at the end of the day the Sixers really only have themselves and lady luck to blame. They have yet to win a game since the All-Star break (0-4).
