The days of the Philadelphia Flyers beating up on an undisciplined Penguins team hamstrung by poor goaltending appear to be over.
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night's game with an analytical eye.
- It was noted by a few of the beat writers that the Flyers have only played three bad games since the start of March -- March 4 against the Edmonton Oilers, March 19 against Pittsburgh, and then Sunday against that very same Penguins team. Considering that two of their "bad games" came against the same team, it's likely that this isn't a case of Philadelphia just happening to deliver a stinker twice in a row.
