The Flyers came out flat tonight in their first game after the all-star break as Dwayne Roloson and the Lightning shut them down. The Flyers are now 0-3 against the Lightning this season. With Tampa currently the #2 seed in the Eastern conference that might raise some alarms about the Orange and Black's playoff prognosis, but I'm not worried. This Flyers team always struggles after breaks and tonight was no exception. Also the Flyers have really show the Lightning their best and until that happens and they still lose, I will not worry.
The only thing you might want to worry about is the Flyer's goaltending, particularly the play of the rookie goalie, Sergei Bobrovsky which wasn't great tonight. He faced only 6 shots and yet allowed 3 goals. No it wasn't all his fault, as the sluggish defense in front of him did few favors, but he couldn't done better. Regardless of Bobrovsky's performance the Flyers weren't going to win this one anyway. They just couldn't find any energy offensively and never really produced any good scoring opportunity. As a result Dwayne Roloson stop all 38 shots he faced with relative ease to lead the Lightning to a 4-0 win.
