Alright, here is the setting. A cold, third-string back-up goalie and a defensive corps decimated by injuries.
These are things on paper, that look to give the Flyers an advantage. But you, my friend, have to understand, this is the Philadelphia Flyers we’re talking about. The same team that can turn a back up goalie into a perfect reincarnation of Dominik Hašek. That is exactly what they did in this game, losing to the Winnipeg Jets 3-2.
The team looked flat from the get go in Winnipeg. They never put themselves in a position to win this game, a game in which they held the lead for a total of three minutes.
