Avalanche 3, Flyers 1: Ah, well, nevertheless…
Photo by Matthew Stockman/Getty ImagesThis game went kind of just about as we expected, no? With an increasingly beat-up Flyers team heading into Colorado to face an Avalanche team that was getting a bit healthier themselves, and also just coming off a recently snapped six game winning streak, we worried that this one might end up being rough on the Flyers, and that wound up being true. They had some positive stretches, but in the end it was the Avalanche’s stars that had then beat, that they couldn’t keep bottled up, and the Flyers dropped this one 3-1. So it goes.
