The fictional contemporary poet Jimmy Smith Jr. once said, “All’s well that ends OK.”
He could’ve easily been talking about the Golden Knights’ longest road trip of the season that finished with a victory Saturday at Philadelphia.
The Knights were dealt several big blows on the five-game voyage, which didn’t include a stop in Detroit, the home of Smith, who is more widely known as “B-Rabbit” in the film 8 Mile.
Instead, the losses came at Buffalo, Washington and Pittsburgh.
But a dramatic 1-0 win against the Flyers may have been a perfect balm for all the bumps and bruises they took along the way.
