The End

And that’s a microcosm for your entire season. 

Experienced veteran recognizes trouble, takes step backward to go forward by handing puck to expensive Russian goalie, expensive Russian goalie ultimately implodes, puts Flyers at disadvantage, team doesn’t have enough fire power to recover, loses.

You certainly can’t blame last night or the series on Bryz– the Flyers were completely outplayed by a hungrier Devils team. But this image will go on the mantle of pain, right next to the one of Claude Lemieux beating Ron Hextall with a slap shot from 527 feet away.
