This may not have much to do with the Flyers, but like I predicted this is shaping up to be an excellent series. Of course game 1 would go to overtime, just made it all the better. Here are a few random musings I thought about during game 1 of the series.
-Some of the lesser known Kings players, like Nolan and Fraser, really stepped it up tonight. The Kings played like that complete team they are. The Devils aggressive forecheck came out in the later parts of the game, but the Kings reacted very calmly and persevered. Wish the Flyers could have done that a few weeks ago.
-I don't know if anyone had ever picked up on this, because NBC hardly ever mentions it, but apparently Martin Brodeur is rather old.
-During the postgame interview: Anze Kopitar's eyes are eerily white...like super white.
-Also, for a guy who was born in the former Yugoslav Republic, Anze Kopitar speaks some damn good English.
-Friend of the BSB (whether he knows it yet or not), Dan G, got his first breakthrough taste of fame tonight with his hilarious antics behind Kopitar during the postgame interview. It actually makes a Pierre McGuire interview bearable to see someone you know on screen.
Game 2 on Saturday. It makes no sense that the NHL is placing the extra day of rest in between the two games in New Jersey. I suppose you gain 3 hours on the flight out to Los Angeles, but really? Oh well, still can't wait.
