Flyers Flying For Once
How sad is it that it’s so shocking when high-price rentals work out really, really well. It seems that at best the rental is fine and at worst the rental is a dud. But the way Tony Amonte is clicking in Philadelphia? That’s not a rental — that’s a purchase.
Tony Amonte helped the Flyers beat New Jersey and tie them for first place in the Atlantic Division (temporarily…). Sami Kapanen, stolen from Carolina, also hasn’t been a slouch on the ice. Factor in the return of John LeClair, and you have a scary-good team. How good is Philadelphia right now? Fans are clamoring for Philadelphia to acquire Danny Green, the Boston lawyer who played on a line with Amonte and Jeremy Roenick at Thayer Academy in Massachusetts.
And the way the Flyers have been clicking, he’d probably thrive, too.

I may have written too soon. Buffalo beat Philly 5-2. Although in defense of the above thesis, LeClair and Amonte did score. So really, it’s the old Flyers who are the problem. Not the new and recently-returned Flyers.
But just the same, maybe they should hold off on bring Danny Green into the NHL.
