The Philadelphia Flyers dropped games 1 and 2 to the heavily favored Washington Capitals last week. That wasn’t entirely surprising, even if it was a little disappointing. The Caps suffocated the Flyers in many way in game 1, but the Flyers made many improvement against the Caps in Game 2. This gave them something to work with going into game 3.
Overshadowing the nitty gritty of hockey matchups was that game 3 would basically be Ed Snider night. Snider, of course, was the founder of the Flyers who recently passed away from cancer at the age of 83.
