Two games against the Flyers this season. Two games in which the Flyers had a lead late before the Flames forced it to overtime. Two games in which the Flyers lost to the Flames in overtime. They haven’t been perfect games, but they’ve been fun – at least from one team’s perspective. Probably not the Flyers’.
Feel of the game
Maybe it was playing in the afternoon in a time zone two hours ahead, but the Flames didn’t look ready to play this one at all; though for that matter, neither did the Flyers. However, certain expectations can be set when it’s a team near the top of the league’s standings against one at the bottom, and with that in mind, it definitely wasn’t the greatest game – though it was probably the right result achieved in the end.
