The Flyer's defense collapsed again tonight Anaheim as the Ducks to it to them for their 3rd loss in 4 games. They allowed 37 shots on net, and far too many of them where from point blank range with nothing in front of the net but the goalie, and you just can't be successful when that keeps happening. Sergei Bobrovsky also continued to struggle along with defense, allowing all 5 Anaheim goals. At the same time, the explosive offense from the win over the Kings, wasn't there tonight as the Orange and Black went back to being scoreless on the power play. They did manage a couple goals later in the contest, to make things interesting, but that was all they did.
Just 6 minutes into the 2nd period the Orange and Black were down 3-0, but they didn't quit. A few minutes later, Jeff Carter and Matt Carle setup Andreas Nodl to cut it to 2-1. Then a few minutes into the 3rd period Carter scored unassisted to cut it to 3-2. Unfortunately that was as close as the Flyers would get. A couple minutes later Bobby Ryan made it 4-2 Ducks and then with about 4 minutes to play, Lubomir Visnovsky made it 5-2 Ducks and that was that.

The Flyers arent looking so hot but seeing as that they're so good its only a matter of time when they rebound and start playing better...hopefully sooner than later.
