Just keep going. That’s what the Flyers have been telling themselves in every game this season.
Whatever the situation, whatever the score, just keep going, because this truly is a “new NHL,” and nothing is certain, no lead is safe, no outcome set before the final buzzer.
But the question this morning is, do they really believe that? [.continue.]

Apparently not.

If you give up 4 goals in the third period, you are never going to win.
Overall the Flyers did play well up until the third period. Even with giving up 7 goals, I still think Nittymaki played decent. The Flyer I was least impressed with was Hatcher. Does he think he is playing left wing or something? As slow as he is, he has no business going so deep into the offensive zone. Sorry, but there is no way he should be leading in minutes on ice time.

“You score six goals on the road, you expect to win. We made a lot of mistakes in the third period. We did some fundamental things wrong, and they scored on every opportunity.” Said Hitchcock.

Yeah that about sums it up.

Three stars all Carolina with Staal, Stillman and Cullen.

Therien was a healthy scratch.
