It looks like the team, might have been at some of the local Detroit bars before the game. They look awfully sluggish offensively..though you'd figure with 19 shots through two periods, one would go in. Even though i thought our goaltending has been good this year, tonight is not one of those nights. Giving up three goals on 12 shots, can't happen.
The Flyers have to stay out of the box. They're generally outplaying the Avs, outshooting them 11-5, but you can't take penalties against a team with tremendous firepower and an excellent PP..even without Big Nik and Lando.
Heck of a comeback in a tough place to play, against a team that plays well in their barn. They heard me say they were getting beat, to too many loose pucks. No quit.
The question that none of us Flyers fans, which we might not ever find out the answer to, is did the Flyers know that he didn't want to play here (obviously, it's a question needing to be asked, before drafting him)? If they did, and he said yes.. he wants to be a Flyer , than the kid is dishonest, and has no integrity. So, if that's true. I want no part of Gauthier on the team despite how talented he is.
Very good trade made by Danny B, IMO, especially if it’s true that Gauthier didn’t want to play for the Flyers. Drysdale should fit in very well on the top, or second pairing.
