The Hat Trick: Avalanche bury the Flyers
This game was rough from the get-go. Lester Averman from D2: Mighty Ducks sums it up as well as we could imagine. “They’re bigger, stronger, faster. They got more facial hair.”
The whole facial hair thing is up for debate.
Regardless, the Colorado Avalanche were the better team Wednesday night, defeating the Philadelphia Flyers by a score of 3-1. The game was close, and the Flyers put up one hell of a fight. The deciding factor, much like the game last week against the Arizona Coyotes, was the goaltending.
Pavel Francouz-Good
If you know how to pronounce Pavel’s last name, this makes sense. Francouz was outstanding, stopping 32 of 33 shots faced, allowing one goal in the third frame.
