It has been five long years, old friend.
Surely Flyers fans remember Patrick Lalime, the one-time Senators goaltender who backed Ottawa to playoff series wins over the Flyers in ’01-’02 and ’02-’03. Not such fond memories, but the Flyers will have a small chance at redemption tonight as they face Lalime’s Sabres at the Wach (remember Lalime is filling in for the injured Ryan Miller.)
The last time Lalime played in Philly was when he was with Ottawa back on March 5, 2004.
Pace Cut, Could Holt be Next?
Former Pro Bowl offensive tackle Orlando Pace was cut by the Rams today. The 33-year old would fill a need for the Eagles, but it really isn’t the Birds’ style to go after players who are clearly past their prime.
Another Ram who could be released soon is receiver Torry Holt. He too would fill a need for a top wideout for the Eagles, so we’ll make sure to keep close tabs on each situation over the next few days.
