Well, last night certainly didn’t go according to plan for the Chicago Blackhawks.
Facing a clearly inferior foe on the first half of a back-to-back, the Blackhawks laid an egg against the host Philadelphia Flyers in a 3-0 defeat. The Blackhawks seemed dazed and confused for the first 45 game minutes, just going through the motions while not letting the Flyers get too far away. But by the time the men in the Indian Head turned it on — they outshot the Flyers 15-6 in the third period — it was too late, as goaltender Michal Neuvirth turned in his second consecutive shutout.
