If you were to be asked “what’s the most 2017-18 Flyers way to lose a hockey game?”, you could do a lot worse than to simply list off the key facets of the Flyers’ 5-3 loss in Washington last night. To wit:
- The team would get out to a fast start and a lead that it would ultimately relinquish. (The Flyers scored two goals before we hit the second commercial break and headed to the locker room up 2-0; that lead would turn to a deficit by the second intermission.)
- The team’s offense would pretty much all come from its top-6 or top defensive pairing.
