New week, new mascot, new games. This is normally where we give a bit of a breakdown of the game action, do a bit of initial reaction, but honestly, we’re still stunned. The Flyers got beat up on for two periods and then nearly staged an unreal comeback. Injured players are back from the dead. Gritty wiped out on the ice at intermission. We’re still trying to wrap our heads around this one. It’s getting weird over here, pals.
1. Mac is back…
…and man oh man he is back with force. After sustaining an injury during the offseason, it was looking like Andrew MacDonald was set to be out through the first two weeks of the regular season, but would you look at that, he’s ahead of schedule and he was able to get in for his first preseason game last night against the Bruins.
