The Flyers’ discipline problem is getting out of control
It wasn’t a huge, season-altering penalty. But it should’ve been one that, for most teams, would’ve resulted in the player having his backside glued to the bench the rest of the game. Early in the second period against Minnesota on Tuesday night, and already down 2-0, Flyer defenseman Jamie Drysdale attempted to clear the puck into the neutral zone. Unfortunately, the puck hit an official, creating a Wild opportunity to score, which they did. It was a bad break, and put Minnesota up 3-0, but only those wearing tinfoil hats would suggest it was some conspiracy against Philadelphia.
