Palin's Pre-emptive Strike on the Flyers' 2008-09 Season

I'm proud to report that Flyers fans voiced their displeasure with Sarah Palin's involvement in their season opener rather vociferously. It wasn't a thunderous, 100% unified round of boos, but it was a clear message nonetheless.

After receiving a kiss on the cheek from fellow Alaskan Scott Gomez of the Rangers, Palin dropped the ceremonial puck...

...And the Flyers went on cough up four goals in the first period, prompting coach John Stevens to yank Martin Biron out of the game.

I'm blaming Palin for this miserable showing. And for the fact that Steve Eminger is still not an NHL-caliber defenseman. And that Biron gave up a goal on a no-frills wraparound that most goalies of the Original Six era would have stopped.

All Palin's fault.

Go Phils.

The Flyers got it all the way back to within 4-3. We hear Palin left the building after the first period.

Of course, NOW Biron gives up a bunch of softies. God dammit.
