The Flyers found themselves heading into tonight on the last game of a three-game road trip and limping along slowly with a five-game losing streak. The early spark of good Philadelphia sports vibes had pretty much disappeared, and the injury curse for this team was only growing more. It made sense. This team was never truly meant to be good this season, so reality was going to come crashing back down eventually.
However, the same story could have been said about the Montreal Canadiens. This is another team that no one expected to do well this season.
