Apparently tonight's Wednesday Night Rivalry featured the growing rivalry between the Flyers and the concept of operating at an NHL level. Flyers lost.

The craziest part is that the Blues have five games in hand on Chicago and would pass them by two points if they won all five!

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

Ah, OK... at least it wasn't right behind an important part of the ice!

I was actually there for that game. Everyone just moved to either side of the blocked panel because the arena was only half full anyway. Here's an explanation as to what happened, and how it won't happen ever again: http://miamiherald.typepad.com/flapanthers/2013/12/glasnost-panthers-work-to-make-sure-tuesdays-plexigate-doesnt-happen-again.html

Florida's ice crew took down the busted piece and was ready to replace it with another but that piece of glass slipped off its cart and cracked.

This is the added wrinkle this story needed. Oh man.

It must have been an old sheet of plexiglass if it took 20 minutes to take the film off. The film does get tougher to come off the longer it's stored.

I saw, I came, I left.

Oh, now you're a plexiglass expert? You're going to make dfwabel jealous.

I don't get the Feaster firing. I mean, yeah, he sucked, but if he sucked to the extent that you were going to fire him, why did you give him one more draft? It appears to have been a good draft, too. And "Burke didn't like the way the team was playing"? The team has been playing really well! When you consider the extreme paucity of NHL talent on that roster, that they're doing as well as they are says a lot. I had them tabbed for like a 60-point season. They're buying into good coaching. And come on, it's not like Brian Burke is going to be any better. He's been exposed as an idiot in every possible way.

He's getting some publicity here in Calgary where he played junior (at least with Hitmen fans) which I've said many times.

It could be many things; east coast bias, he's a young goalie so streaks are taken with a grain of salt (see the second link you posted), Kings are said to be a good defensive team, etc. etc.

Everything's on pace to go as well as it did in Toronto, then.
