The Flyers lost another game in embarrassing fashion, albeit in a slightly better overall effort than the 9-0 loss to the Rangers on the 17th. What the hell happened? Let’s recap.
What went wrong?
After starting the game strong, the Flyers gave up an easy goal in the crease to Ryan Strome (almost identical to Travis Zajac’s goal on Tuesday) and instantly fell apart. Ivan Provorov flubbed a puck, and just like that Pavel Buchnevich made it 2-0 off the 2-on-1. The Flyers flopped about uselessly as the Rangers took control of the game, getting completely dominated before allowing yet another goal to Mika Zibanejad.
