Wow. Fell asleep just before puck drop was dreaming so vividly I thought I was still awake.

This team is still relying on dump and chase hockey. Even their style of play is dated.

I know they're missing dudes, but these guys just don't generate enough high quality scoring opportunity other than the odd scramble at the net.

Wow. JVR surprised him with a quick wrist shot short side. Quite a nice snipe.

1-0, Flyers.

Lucky series of bounces for the Flyers puts the biscuit in the basket.

2-0, Flyers.

Just terrible.

Running around like chickens with their heads cut off in their own end.

Gave up another quick goal after their own score and then they turtled.

2-2.

Terrible.

What a dumb decision to shoot in OT. Just a giveaway and it leads to the game winner.

What a brutal loss, the 1pt means fuck all.
