The Flyers were finally back on the ice Thursday night and it went about the way one would expect. The boys in orange and black dropped this one 3-2 in the shootout, gaining a point courtesy of a late goal by Joel Farabee with the goalie pulled.
Obviously, expectations should’ve been tempered heading into this one, as even though the Rangers are in the midst of a mediocre season, the Flyers were without six major pieces to their starting lineup. To top it off, the Rangers were coming off what color commentator Keith Jones called a “wake-up call” loss vs the New Jersey Devils.
