Following the Flyers overtime win versus the Arizona Coyotes last Thursday I was talking to a friend of mine, and when the game came up in conversation, they were taken back by me saying “yeah, they won in overtime” so unenthusiastically. Of course, that led to the obvious question of “why don’t you seem happy about that?” and the answer I gave was quite short. It was that with every game they win, it feels like they’re taking one step backwards.
Before we get any further I want to make it clear that if you’re expecting some kind of actual analysis about the team or the coach, you won’t find that here.
