The loss on Thursday was a tough one, since the Rangers played well for most of the game, but a lapse for three minutes eventually cost them the game. Luckily the Flyers aren’t as good as the Isles, although they are playing very well of late. Continued process will eventually net results. As long as that process continues –and we are seeing better process with the lineup choice today– then we should be happy.
That said, the Flyers may not be a good team, but they are playing well lately since their salary dumps. Credit Ron Hextall for creating room on the roster and in the cap. His team has responded with four wins in a row and a 6-3-1 record over the last ten games. Steve Mason is a great goalie as well, so this team is no push over.
