Your Monday Morning Roundup: The Flyers Haven't Won a Game in Nine Months Edition
It took until the fifth period of play for us to get a disgusted Bryz shoulder shrug. I had the over-under set at three periods. So, that’s something.
Not a good start for the Flyers. All the relevant links and reading in the roundup.
