Well, they just didn’t have it last night, gang. That’s something that happens sometimes, and we’re allowed to say that, and in a vacuum, it’s okay. It just becomes less okay when the Flyers only have a handful of games left and they’re still trying to keep their place in the ever-tightening playoff race. So they drop one of their tough games in this tough schedule, and that’s, as we said, not ideal.
1. Pace, pals
There’s something to be said for playing with a certain pace as we head down the stretch, for coming out with energy and working to get chances early and keep your opponent on their toes.
