Let’s make something clear about the Florida Panthers’ utter destruction of the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday night… They cleaned their clocks. They packed their lunch and sent them to school. They slapped ’em around silly. They made them look BAD.
And now, of all 29 other teams in the NHL they could play, the Florida Panthers now have to travel to Philadelphia and face the team they just egged. And now in their own home opener, don’t expect an angry and prideful Flyers team to let the Panthers off so easy.
Starting in net for the Flyers will be Michael Neuvrith, who wasn’t great on Saturday but was better than “worst possible” (Steve Mason).
