from Sam Carchidi of Broad Street Bull at the Philadelphia Inquirer,
After tonight’s 4-1 loss to Pittsburgh in a first-round playoff opener, some of the Flyers talked about all the “bad bounces” that contributed to the Penguins goals.
And before the game, when asked how how the Flyers could regain their form for the playoffs, coach John Stevens smiled and said: “I don’t agree with everybody else’s analysis of how we finished the year. I think we played a lot of good games…I thought there were some games where we were the better team and didn’t win. Our special teams were strong down the stretch….We tightened up defensively; we out-chanced teams, so in my opinion, we did a lot of things we needed to do down the stretch.”
Am I watching a different team?
Didn’t the Flyers limp home 4-5-1 and blow the fourth seed to the Penguins?
The Flyers have been mediocre for six weeks now, plain and simple.
