Well I didn’t expect to be doing a retrospective on the exact day that the Flyers begin their first round playoff series against the Montreal Canadiens, but here we are! The year 2020 has been full of surprises, and at this point, just about anything that happens until the the date strikes “January 1st, 2021” can be attributed to “well of course this happened”. The Stanley Cup Playoffs are, as we’ve just seen, no exemption!
Yesterday saw the start of the official “first round” of the playoffs after the round robin and qualifier rounds that started on the 1st of August, and leave it to 2020 to hand us a game like this!
