Philadelphia Flyers Tickets

2009 Philadelphia Flyers Season Update The Philadelphia Flyers had a great 2007-2008 season and have continued that play into this year.

The Flyers are current in second place in the Atlantic Division, just eight points behind the New Jersey Devils.

The team picked up a huge win recently by gaining a 4-3 victory at Boston, who is considered to be the cream of the crop in the Eastern Conference.

The Flyers have another huge upcoming game at the Washington Capitals, who have quickly become their most bitter rival after winning the second round playoff series against them in Game 7 last year.

Center Jeff Carter leads the team with 59 points. He also leads the game in goals with 32 and power play goals with 10.

Martin Biron has been solid in goal, giving up 2.87 goals per game. However, backup Antero Nittymaki has been even better and has started to see increased playing time. He is giving up just 2.59 goals per game.

When it comes playoff time, it seems like it always comes down to the team with the hottest goaltender. If you have two capable goalies, you increase the likelihood that one of them catches fire at the right time.

Mike Richards has already had a record-setting year, as he became the first player to score with two men down for the third time in his career. He already has five short-handed goals this season.

Overall, Richards is the second-leading scorer on the team with 52 points and leads the team with 32 assists.

Simon Gagne and Scott Hartnell are also having strong seasons with 50 and 42 points, respectively.

After the Flyers advanced so far in the playoffs last year and the Philadelphia Phillies won the World Series, nothing less than a championship will be acceptable to the fans from the city of Brotherly Love.
