The Predictable Outcome

Just as I suspected, the long layoff affected Philly the way I thought it would affect them, and the Canucks came out hard at the start like I suspected they would - knowing Philly just had a long layoff and would probably take a good period before they got their legs back. Unfortunately they didn't get their legs back, and Vancouver's on fire right now.

Not a bad game per say, but I expected more. Hopefully next time these two meet, they both have their "A" game on. The highlight (and not in a good way) was Jody Shelley pretty much knocking out Andrew Alberts with <10 minutes to go in the game. Not surprising knowing Jody Shelley, but why was he even on the ice in the midst of a blowout?
