[ ] As we mentioned before, but since ignored because it has been a wee-bit drab, David Boreanaz, whom you know best as Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (or as the son of longtime Channel 6 weather guy Dave Roberts) - or maybe you’re one of the people who watch Bones (his current show), is the Flyers’ Celebrity Blogger on NHL.com.
Well, DaveBo is PUMPED for this intra-state showdown. Yessir! He is…pump…ed
From his blog (EDGE notes in bold):
I’m going to enjoy playing Pittsburgh, I think – the all-Pennsylvania series. (So, the Flyers play the Pens next…Woo-hooo!) I’m not going to be as kind to the Pitt fans in this one as I was to the Habs fans. (Wha?) Philly is going to come out in Game 1 and set the tone, playing that physical style that has taken us this far already. It’s going to be pretty heavy (Yes. Right. Flyer-ed up! Beat the Pens).
… We’ve taken care of the offensive Caps and the high-flying Habs, so next up is Pittsburgh. (Habs = gone…Right-O! Next up is Pittsburgh,…)
They’re another great team with depth, just like Washington, just like Montreal. (Caps, Habs, Now:Pens) ... And we have the upper-hand in that the last time we faced them in the playoffs was when Primeau scored in the 5th OT to win it – and get this: last night’s 4OT thriller was the anniversary of that game! Ironic that it went like that. ...(Right…Ironic…Pittsburgh…Up Next: Pens).
So that’s my little Round 2 recap and Round 3 preview.
(Whew) The Cup is actually coming to visit the HOUSE set this week (Hugh Laurie is totally taking a piss in that thing.), and I’m going to make sure it stops by the BONES set as well (Hey…ALL CAPS like FOX and EDGE and WOW and WTF! and BE SURE TO WATCH), so I can take a look at it and give it a little Philly love (He’s totally going to dry hump the Stanley Cup!) and hopefully take some photos and post them up here.
It’s an all-Penn series ...(Right. Now, whom do the Flyers play next? Oh, look… it’s Pittsburgh), and I’ll break down Game 1 before Friday. I have to gather my strength. ...(Acting > Blogging) No ole! anymore – congrats to Montreal, Godspeed to the Flyers, and hopefully we take care of business and take the Eastern Conference and head on to see the best of the West.
[ ] Pittsburgh bloggers are ready for the series. (Mondesishouse)
From the post:
Look, I hate the Flyers more than any other sports team. …Remember, Flyers fans are people too… even if they can’t read and don’t shower.
[ ] KSK shares a possible scenario of the ongoing Marvin Harrison investigation. (KSK)
...In actual news about the case, Keith Russell of 6ABC (he of the hackneyed phrases delivered in Don "No-Soul" Simmons tones), says there was a hit out on Harrison. (phillyBurbs)
[ ] Former Phils GM Ed Wade, who now guides the Astros, has gotten revenge on the Phillies by signing Indiana Jones to pitch against the Fightins in the teams’ May 22 series opener in Houston. (WillDo)
[ ] A coach without a Super Bowl victory blames media for noting most football teams use only two cornerbacks in most basic packages, as opposed to three. (700 Level)
