Yes, I will go there. After playing probably their best game of the year on Saturday afternoon, beating the Blackhawks 3 to 2 in an incredible come from behind win, the Flyers started their trip from hell to NY. I can only imagine that every player on the Flyers team was emotionally drained from the effort and physical game they played against Chicago. After that game, they boarded a train for NY. Said train ends up loosing power or something and gets stuck on the train tracks for about 5 hours from what I hear. So long so that the Flyers actually ordered a food delivery to the train...I hope that guy got a good tip. The Flyers had to get off the train and take a bus the rest of the way to NY, arriving at their hotel around midnight or so. The trip from Philly to NY usually takes about an hour by train. This trip took about 7 hours door to door. Also, remember, that was the night of daylight savings, causing the Flyers to loose an hour from that. All in all, they were going to be tired.
They started off the game with a lot of hop in their step, but I still think it was only to get that one goal, and then try to relax for the rest of the game, which is what happened. They opened up the scoring, but shortly there after fell asleep for the rest of the game. What other way do you explain Avery getting two goals against us. So yes, I will not give the Rangers any glimpse of hope that they are actually good. We were tired and we could not get fully prepared for this game. Things will be different come April. Just watch and see.
