Look, we’re not going to pretend that the Flyers played their cleanest game ever, or that the 3-0 lead they held after two periods was thanks to a thoroughly dominating effort, or that you can’t understand why they’d have so little gas on the tail end of a back-to-back and at the end of a really tough week schedule-wise. Things happen.
But you can’t let that many things happen. Like a bad line change that gives a guy a breakaway, or a too many men penalty that gives a team another goal, or a goalie getting just a bit too aggressive and letting a dribbler get past him.
