The Philadelphia Flyers lost an afternoon game in Buffalo to a fellow bottom-feeding Sabres team by three goals, thanks to multi-goal performances from Tage Thompson and Peyton Krebs and the worst Martin Jones performance of the year.
I’m not really one to try and psychoanalyze athletes based on their performance—to me it’s all guesswork that doesn’t really get you anywhere anyway. But it does seem to me like these Philadelphia Flyers seem to catastrophize once a few things go wrong, possibly evidenced today, when a 2-1 lead was erased and then turned around in quick succession by a power play goal, a failed challenge leading to another penalty, and another power play goal.
