Broad Street Hockey: For Philadelphia Flyers Fans

Ahh, the lowly Buffalo Sabres. Who, it's safe to say, have lapped the Flyers. They have exciting, young, high-end talent. A goalie performing well nearly every night. A coach optimizing his players' strengths.

The Flyers will take the ice against the Toronto Maple Leafs at 2pm on Thursday; an odd time, to be sure, but kind of a fun one too, no? The recently red-hot Leafs have cooled off of late, winning only one of their last three. Overall they're 5-3 in the month of December and easily one of the top teams in the league, so the Flyers will really have to bring it.
