I have something potentially controversial to say:
Winning is good. Losing is bad.
The Flyers did the bad thing tonight, and not the good thing. I suppose it depends on your definition of “bad,” but I digress. I’ve come around to the idea of making playoffs by the skin of our teeth, waddling into the first round like a bunch of blind milk-drunk kittens, unwise to the ways of the world and what lay beyond them. It is looking increasingly likely that this will not happen, as if ever there were “must-win” games, it was last night’s loss and tonight’s loss.
