Time is a precious thing to waste

The Flyers were able to avenge their home opener disaster with a win over the lowly Ottawa Senators on Wednesday night. It was nice to see the team follow up that performance (if you can even call it that) with a win, but I want to rewind to that awful game on Tuesday night to ask a potentially complex question: why can’t this team seem to adjust on the fly when things go wrong in a hurry?

Something I feel like this team has done a really poor job of over the past few years, particularly during the Dave Hakstol era, is resetting after getting punched in the mouth. I’m not talking about going down by a goal or coughing up a lead. I’m talking about the instances in which things go south…
