As for last night’s 6-1 loss to the Flyers at Wells Fargo Center?
They deserved the fate they got. Richly.
Not only were they soundly outplayed by their Metro rival, as evidenced by a whopping 38-24 disadvantage in shots on goal, but they downright collapsed near the end of the second period while yielding a pair of goals in a 10-second span.
Standup guy that he is, goalie Alex Nedeljkovic placed the blame for the ghastly defeat squarely upon his own shoulders.
Uh uh, Ned. Maybe you didn’t give your finest Georges Vezina imitation, but that’s not how I saw it.
