Flyers Gonna Have to Be Nasty Tonight

Today's felt like one of the longest days of my life. For whatever reason, it's dragging and dragging and dragging. And all I can think about is game 2 between the Bruins and Flyers tonight.

After playing their best game in months to take out Buffalo in game 7 of the first round, the Flyers played by far their worst game of the playoffs in game 1 against Boston, losing 7-3 in embarrassing fashion. The biggest problem in that game was a lack of toughness, a lack of physicality, a lack of nastiness, especially in front of their own net. Tonight, they're going to need all of that if they want to even this series up, so naturally they're going to look to the nastiest player on the team.
