With the Flyers’ 5-2 loss to the Senators collected last night, their losing streak was extended to five games, tying them for their second longest of the season, and marking their fourth in a row in which they’ve failed to score more than two goals. All of this considered, it feels a bit strange to note that last night’s game was the first in which they really felt like they were getting things moving in the right direction again, but there’s some real truth there.
It’s easy to say that there’s no such thing as moral victories in this sport, but there are, and with the Flyers all but officially out of the playoff race, these are the ones which are becoming more and more important to them.
