Damaged Goods

I disagree entirely with the OP's sentiment. The Flyers came into the game with a ton of emotion and energy. However, they were unable to execute offensively, nor did they adjust to what the Rangers were doing strategically. That led to a very long, frustrating afternoon for the top forwards.

There were a lot of factors. -The Rangers are good defensively and got in lanes -Back-to-back favors the healthier team (Rangers) -The team the Flyers iced yesterday is not as good as their record indicates (minus Pronger, JVR and Jagr) -The Rangers were playing with a lead on bad Garden ice -The Flyers didn't adjust to the bad ice by coming closer together and attempting shorter passes through neutral ice -Ergo, the Flyers couldn't establish a forecheck until late in the game when the Rangers had completely backed off

There is no goalie controversy and the Flyers won't be making any major moves in the near future (nor should they). The Flyers are in a comfortable position where they can let the roster get healthy, continue to define player roles in the wake of all the roster turn-over and evaluate things until the trade deadline.
