Panic in Philadelphia: A Celebration

By Artistry

As I tucked my children into bed last night, I leaned close and whispered, "Never delight in the misfortune of others, unless it's the Flyers." There is a code that governs our conduct as decent human beings, and then there are some nuances they should know about, so I tell them. In my view, this is part of being a good parent.

Don't talk to strangers, but boo this one.

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all, except this is not the best player in the world.

Respect your elders, but appreciate that this man has lost his locker room.
The Flyers are a mess right now. After last night's listless 5-2 loss to the Devils, they are 3 points out of a playoff spot, players are pointing fingers, and Ilya Bryzgalov is humangous disappointed about it. What does it all mean?  Probably that they'll sneak in as an 8 seed and play the Penguins in another harrowing first-round playoff matchup that may just be the death of us. But for now, enjoy kids!
