The visit to the nation’s capital went horribly wrong for our Philadelphia Flyers. In a vital game against the Washington Capitals, the Flyers stunk up and threw away a two-goal lead to eventually suffer a 5-2 defeat.

It was a result that happened misplay after misplay and consistently letting the home team get the better of them even as they tried to claw back and make up for their mistakes. It didn’t happen, and the offense dried up. But one particular set of players got plenty of the blame for what ended up being the final nail in the coffin of that game.
