In Johnny Gaudreau’s first game against the Philadelphia Flyers since Chuck Fletcher committed organizational malpractice and refused to attempt to bring the star forward home, Johnny Hockey showed Philadelphia exactly what they’re missing, scoring the game’s opening goal and assisting on two others in a game the Orange and Black lost 5-2 to the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The Flyers weren’t necessarily “bad,” minus not having much jump early, they just appeared disjointed, and somewhat lacking in chemistry, and were unable to capitalize on several opportunities to extend the BJ’s losing streak, which was halted at five games thanks in large part to Gaudreau.
