Schadenfreude is a german word that means deriving joy from the misfortune of others. Just don’t ask me to pronounce it correctly.
With the Philadelphia Flyers season over but the Pittsburgh Penguins still kicking, it’s pretty obvious where this concept applies to Flyers fans.
Game 1 broke for Flyers fans’ allies-of-necessity, as the Washington Capitals claimed Game 1 from the Pittsburgh Penguins with an overtime win. The two teams met again tonight for Game 2, and Game 2 was just as tight as Game 1 (on the scoreboard anyway).
While Game 1 was fairly even in shots and chances, the Penguins had most of the initiative in the first period.
