Alright getting off to a good start is key here after that debacle in Calgary so ... oh ok or that can happen. The Flyers started this game much like they did vs. the Flames by allowing 100 point player Leon Draisaitl to be wide open. That is certainly a bold strategy and no cotton, it did not pay off for them. 1-0 Brandon Manning’s.
A power play would soon follow and although the Flyers generated a few good looks, they just couldn’t seem to hit the net. Problem is, ya kinda need to hit the net to score in this sport called hockey!
