Lightning 4 Flyers 1

It Was Over When.....

The second period ended. The Lightning scored twice in the period and it was all they needed for the win.

The Game Puck Goes To.....

Well, no specific Lightning player really stood out tonight, so we'll just give it to goalie Marc Denis who allowed the Flyers just one goal on 35 shots.

The Stat of The Game.....

1, as in 1 goal for the Flyers. For the second game in a row the Flyers managed only 1 goal and they didn't get it until the end of the third period. You just can't win if you don't score.

The Bottom Line Is.....

This is not going to be a good year for the Flyers. I have tried repeatedly to stay optimistic with this team, but how can I anymore. I mean, they can't do anything right. They can't score, whether on the power play or at full strength, and they can't keep up with anyone else on defense. Before I thought they were just unlucky, but now they're just plain bad. They have played 7 games this season, 7, and they have only 1 win. Even in the NHL that's inexplicable. As if things weren't bad enough, Peter Forsberg sprained his wrist tonight, and he'll probably be out for a while, so don't expect things to turn around anytime soon.
