Flyers goalie Michael Neuvirth was beat by Islanders’ forward Brock Nelson.
When the whiz kids in the Flyers marketing department conjured up Saturday's Halloween themed arena entertainment sometime this past summer, they couldn't have possibly anticipated that it would blend into what was happening on the ice. The Flyers had finished the previous season strong, had added a big free agent over the summer, and had more goalies than they knew what to do with.
The hockey team?
Vincent Price's loudspeaker laughter only worked to accentuate the latest Flyers flailing and failing, as they lost 6-1 to an Islanders team that came into the game firmly entrenched in their own heads.
