Preview: Philadelphia Flyers (1-0-0) @ Los Angeles Kings (0-0-0)
Oh, boy.
The last time I occupied this Game Day Preview space, I channeled the very spirit of Dean Lombardi for about a thousand words. The team’s organizational shake-up this summer has left us without a GM who speaks in war stories, and without a coach who speaks in farming metaphors. So I’ve got about 80 games to come up with another weird shtick.
For now, we’ll stick with the facts.
Once again, the Flyers are getting their west coast road trip out of the way early, as they roll (you thought I was going to say fly, didn’t you) into Los Angeles today after a Wayne Simmonds-powered win over the Sharks.
