Delayed gratification: Flyers win Game 2 in OT, 4-3

One of my favorite discoveries of getting armpit-deep in Flyerland again during this summer swing has been the Philadelphia Cocky/Distraught meter, as depicted by @TangoGolfKilo, which beautifully clarifies the bipolar nature of Philadelphia fandom.

Even when the Flyers won the series over Montreal, there wasn’t a lot of room to be inspired by the play, leaving the Flyer consensus solidly in the red after having been way, way into Greenland following the Flyers win of the round-robin (which they’d better get a banner for).

After the hapless Game 1 against the Islanders, it only drifted further into distraughtness.
