Wow is it ever going to be quiet on the bus to the airport and the flight to Philadelphia. Can't get much lower than this.
2 regulation wins in the last 15 games, scoring 2 or fewer goals in 9 of them.
With a 1:00 PM game in Philly followed by a quick flight to Pittsburgh they'll have almost 48 hours on the ground. Regardless of result, might be time to pile up the kangaroo court fines and money on the board pot, leave all cell phones in the hotel rooms, and hit a nice spot in Pitt with a private room and get in one as a team. Mandatory attendance. No coaches. No Trainers. No talking to spouses. Just the boys letting loose and getting bombed as a group with no distractions and no game to worry about the following day. Have a good sweat at practice or the optional the next day, rest off the hangover, and get back to work getting this train back on the tracks with a big win over the Penguins.
