Don’t have heroes.
Well, that’s not true. Let me rephrase: Carter Hart is our hero, but even he isn’t superhuman enough to dig this team out of the hole it’s dug for itself in the playoff picture.
The first game of a crucial six-day, four-game stretch did not go well for the orange and black, who fell at home to the Capitals by a score of 5-2. The loss is the Flyers’ second loss against Washington in just nine days, and it further cuts down the already-impossibly-slim margin for error that this team has in its frantic chase for one of the East’s final playoff spots.
