Hey,

I just came home from the Flyers and Capitals game at the John Labatt Centre in London. The Flyers fans will have an exciting team this year. To recap some of tonights players/lines/prospects:

-the line of Handzus/Williams/Gagne was by far Philly's best offensive line (produced 6 points). Quick to the puck in the Caps end, aggresive on the attack and solid player positioning both on the offense and defensive zones. IF this line is keeped together for the regular season...WATCH OUT!!!

- a player who wore the # 20 (Radovan Somik) played very solid. Scored a nice goal in the 3rd period, played on the first line of the powerplay as well as on the penalty killing. Watch for this player to start in Philly this year or start in the AHL and eventually move up sometime through mid-season.

- Joni Pitkanen will be the Flyers Quarterback for years to come. This kid made a few errors in the defensive zone (not moving the puck quick enough) but overall showed solid potential. He's the big offensive defencemen the Flyers need although he needs to use his size to his advantage.

- both Hackett and Esche played a solid game. Look for Esche to play equal amount of games to Hackett. Hackett got the shutout and Esche allowed 2 goals.

3 Stars of the game;

#1- Jeff Hackett
#2- Justin Williams
#3- Dennis Seidenberg

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
