The Philadelphia Flyers were the best team on the ice last night, but sometimes that’s not good enough. Were this a regular season game (or god forbid, Game 7 of a playoff series), a 3-2 overtime loss to the New York Rangers like this one would hurt a lot more.
But because it’s the preseason, the result doesn’t matter. What matters are the individual performances, and fortunately for the Flyers, there were a lot of good ones. Let’s get right to the observations.
Game observations
- The Flyers outshot the Rangers 39-31, won 62% of faceoffs, and generally controlled play for the greater part of the game.
