However the last few years have not been kind to the Flyers. Their last victory over the Canucks came nearly three years ago when they took a 3-2 win at Vancouver on Dec. 30, 2008.
In net Ilya Bryzgalov has allowed just one goal this season so far. He has stopped 42 of 43 shots and has a shutout streak of 110:18 seconds.
Those 2 quotes from a section called On The Fly on the Flyers' home site. Mucho respect for the Canucks from those guys. Don't let the Flyers' drought against the Canucks fool you. These teams only play once a year. The Canucks are 2-0 vs Philly since that date, outscoring them 9-2. But this is a new year and a revamped Flyers team that can come charging at you but also play a regimented defensive style of game. As far as Bryzgalov goes: the Flyers finally have a bonafide goaltender. Sure it's only 2 games in but you know Bryzgalov has super credentials.
2 games in for the Canucks: 2 games where you almost fall asleep early on in the game and hopefully you woke up by the 3rd period to watch them come alive. Yet they still have 3 of a possible 4 points. Impressive! Not impressive: Marco Sturm. Not yet anyway. The stormtrooper reference in the image above isn't even accurate. In order to miss you have to shoot first, Marco.
