It’s been a rough few days for the Philadelphia Flyers and their fans, but tonight’s emotional 4-1 victory over the visiting Anaheim Ducks is just what the team needed. Goals from Claude Giroux, David Kase, Jakub Voracek, and Sean Couturier were more than enough support for Carter Hart who denied 40 of Anaheim’s 41 shots on net tonight.
The news of Lindblom’s diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma last week shook not only those interested in the Flyers but hockey fans all over the globe. It’s devastating news to hear as someone who has never met Lindblom personally, so I can’t imagine what it must have been like for the team playing on the road these last few days.
