Colorado took care of the Blues and Philly this weekend.
The biggest sporting event of the week for any team from the City of Brotherly Love ended in heartbreak Sunday in Denver as the Avalanche took care of the struggling Flyers, 2-0.

Head Coach Jared Bednar had challenged the team following a 1-2-0 east coast swing to play this homestand as if it were a pair of playoff games. To say they respond would be an understatement.
