The Flyers lost another close game to a good team in Philadelphia tonight. While the Blues were able to develop a lot more scoring chances than the Flyers, the two teams ultimately put a very similar number of shots on goal and were only separated by one goal by the time the final horn sounded.
While many may say that if the Flyers are going to lose, they’d prefer the game at least feature some fun stuff—say, I don’t know, fights or goals by Gerry Mayhew or a lot of high event hockey—part of me often thinks if the Flyers are going to lose, I’m fine with the game just being fairly quick.
