Well we all know the Flyers really, really, really, suck this year, but for some reason they have the Atlanta Thrashers this season. The orange and black have won their last 5 games over the Thrashers, with 3 of them this season.

It also turns out that it has been quite the Finnish goalie battle. All games have pitted Flyers goalie Antero Niittymaki versus the Thrashers Kari Lehtonen. Both goalies are from Finland.

Better still is that Lehtonen was the main net minder for the Chicago Wolves and Niittymaki was the goalie for the Phantoms when they won the cup two seasons ago. They did, by the way, win the final cup series by sweeping the Wolves four to zip.
