The Flyers lost this game for a lot of reasons. You could say they lost it because they couldn’t win a skills competition, or that they lost it because they quite simply were unable to out-score their opponent, or that the world was simply not going to allow the Flyers’ winning streak to continue any longer. Two seasons of missing the playoffs after winning ten straight games would just be too much; for them, for us, for the rest of the league trying to figure out what the Flyers actually are. So it didn’t happen. The streak was snapped at eight, and one of the main reasons why they lost was their inability to do anything good in the neutral zone with consistency.
