(Photo courtesy AP/The Express-Times) I admit it; I'm probably the worst sort of bandwagon-jumper when it comes to hockey. My days of following the intricacies of one-timers, line changes and faceoff percentages ended well into my 20s when I would attend a Hartford Whalers game a couple times a year and followed that hapless franchise. And - really - I have no time to follow the Flyers during the regular season. I mean, it starts in the middle of college football season, extends all the way through the Super Bowl and NCAA tournament. Where's the time to keep up with W Simon Gagne 's performance on the ice? But when the playoffs happen, I start to pay attention. Call me fair-weather? Sure. Go ahead; I don't care. But if you had to pick a time and a place to start paying attention, Game 7 against the Bruins at the new Boston Garden last Friday was probably the best time ever to start. (more)
