The Flyers are riding high on the back of a big win over the Blackhawks yesterday afternoon. After all, what more of a kind of statement win do you need to see than in Matvei Michkov punching in an overtime winning goal against Chicago and their first-overall pick from his draft in Connor Bedard (who they managed to hold off the scoresheet entirely)?
It was a big win for the Flyers, but it was also a hard-fought one. The Flyers came out and played well right from the jump, had the better of the play, really, something their head coach was adamant about after the game.
