The Flyers must have been to busy gawking at their own beautiful ass jerseys because David Pastrnak walked them off the opening faceoff to put Boston up 1-0 quickly. The pressure would not stop there, though. The Flyers would be on their heels for the majority of the period despite not allowing a ton of actual shots on goal. Only problem was, they weren’t generating many shots of their own.
The zone exits and entries were horrific, and when they finally did enter the zone they promptly were defending again seconds later. Overall, it looked like how many of the Flyers’ first periods have looked so far this season, and that’s not a good thing.
