Why HCs hate to play rookies, Lycksell draws a double minor on a sloppy play.
Farabee makes a stupid play with his stick to draw a penalty at the end of the first period.
Compounding things is the Flyers can't win face offs, yes, the metrics say it doesn't matter, but that applies to 48/52 splits, not when you lose every friggin' faceoff!
It was a gutsy performance, back to back with travel on the road against a team facing a must win game.
They outplayed the Oilers for two periods, then the power plays and tired legs did them in.
And yes, they missed TK, a thin team can't afford to lose their top player.
If I'm Edmonton, I'm calling Fletcher about Seeler, b/c they are one soft team.
Diss Cates all you want, I think he's a keystone to any rebuild, not a first line player, but a guy who as a rookie is already taking on the toughest assignments and holding his own.
Sanheim is scary, since he signed that new deal, he's been worse than Risto. I don't think he's that bad, he's just in a funk, but given we're stuck with him - SNAP THE F-- K OUT OF IT!
