Ya know, there’s an alternate way of looking at the Flyers’ 3-1 loss to the Sharks on Tuesday night:
Their three-game point streak was snapped.
OK, OK, calm down. And stop booing. Or calling for me to be fired.
A man’s got a right to be optimistic, doesn’t he?
That was pretty much the management theme late Tuesday, after the players closed the doors and hashed out what is, to most of us, even more than a nine-game stretch of lost opportunities and losses, of repeated mistakes and terrifying trends that hint at one of two things – or maybe both.
