Panthers 3 Flyers 2

It Was Over When.....

Ollie Jokinen scored the Panthers' third goal of the night, late in the 2nd period, to put them up for good 3-2. They way the Flyers have been playing lately, you just knew they wouldn't have an answer.

The Game Puck Goes To.....

Well, it was going to go to Simon Gagne who scored the Flyers only two goals on the night, but then Jokinen scored that last goal, so we'll give it to him instead.

The Stat of The Game Is.....

Well, its not exactly a stat of the game, but we'll go with it anyway. 5 as in 5 consecutive losses for the Flyers including this one. Never before have the Flyers displayed such futility. Now, if you really want a stat from the game, you can have the always popular 0, as 0 power play goals on the night for the Flyers and 0 goals by a Flyer besides Simon Gagne. Yes the Flyers did actually score more than once on night, but both goals were contributed by Gagne and the Flyers once again failed to score on the power play, despite having 6 chances to do so.

The Bottom Line Is.....

5 straight losses pretty much says it all, as far as I am concerned. Maybe next week when Peter Forsberg returns from his wrist injury, the Flyers will actually win a game, or not.
