For those keeping track at home, last night’s 5-2 loss to the Calgary Flames means that the Flyers’ losing streak hit seven games, and things aren’t really showing massive signs of turning around anytime soon.
This was, in short, not a very good game for them, on the whole. We saw a couple of ugly breakdowns, some of which ended in the puck in the back of the Flyers’ net. Their passing didn’t look very smooth. They really looked to be struggling on their breakouts in particular—clean exits were relatively few and far between, and the Flyers’ breakout passes looked less like they were targeting a particular teammate or area, and more like they were flinging the puck anywhere out and away from themselves.
