The Flyers defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins at home today, snapping a five-game home losing streak and giving them their first back-to-back wins since March 5 and 8. Our heads had told us to root for the Penguins today—after all, the Flyers have nothing to gain by winning games at this point in the season. But our hearts could never actually prevent us from cheering on a Penguins loss as it is happening. We’ll have to see how this game ultimately affects the Flyers’ final draft position, but until then we can only enjoy Crosby and Malkin losing a game to what has been a very poor Philadelphia team so far this season.
