The Flyers Won 5-1 and it Might Have Been Because of the Cooperalls
The Flyers wore throwback uniforms for Reverse Retro night and during warm-ups threw on the cooperalls to pay homage to the early-80s teams:

Not gonna lie, these things are ugly man, lol. I don’t know what coked-up executive in the Flyers’ front office greenlit those, but there’s a reason they only lasted two seasons:
That’s Hall of Famer Bill Barber looking more like an accountant playing beer league who only picks up a twig because he has two kids and “can’t get to the gym anymore.” All because of the cooperalls. That’s like Joe Theisman continuing to rock the one bar facemask his whole career. It’s just a dusty look:

But listen though, the Flyers may have to ride the lucky cooperalls until they lose again. Those are the rules.
Kinkead: these dudes looked like they were taking their kids sledding
