Well, the Flyers lost this one. I had a really nice intro that I’d written before the game started and it went something like “we’re going 82-0, losers.” I’d believed that, in my heart. It’s still early in the season, I have a fire in my heart, etc. Sometimes, things do not work out.
In all fairness, the score of the game does not reflect how close it was. The shots were held about even (37-35 Flyers to end the game) and both teams looked highly capable of turning the tide. In the end, though, the Avalanche got a head-start early on and carried it through till the end, edging out a 5-2 win over our boys.
