They ripped our hearts out in the second period, again
You gotta be kidding me with this jawn. I still got a sour taste in my mouth, like I just ate a whole box of those cheap butter cookies, after watching the Philadelphia Flyers drop a tough 3-2 road game to the *still* hated Pittsburgh Penguins last night. Look, I know it’s Pittsburgh, and losing to them always stings more than a bee in your wooder ice, but this one felt especially brutal. We clawed our way back, but then we just… gave it away. The score looks close, but it felt like we were chasing them all night after they jumped out early.
It started with their guy, E. Soderblom, burying one quick in the first period. But the real gut punch came in the second. C. Dewar got one past us early in that second frame, and I thought, "Here we go again, another one of these stinkers." But then, for a brief, beautiful moment, the Broad Street Bully spirit kicked in. A. Bump, bless his heart, got us on the board just seconds later, from R. Ristolainen and N. Cates. And then, the comeback looked real when T. Sanheim tied it up from R. Ristolainen and T. Konecny. Two goals in the second, against *them*! I was ready to run down Broad Street waving a towel, then K. Letang had to go and ruin it with their game-winner late in that same period. Two goals in the second from us, three from them. Just no good.
So what does this mean for the Philadelphia Flyers? We’re still sitting pretty at 43-27-12, good for 98 points and third in the Metropolitan, but you can't let these jawn's slip. We were on a winning streak, and then *they* had to go and end it. We got a good record in our last ten at 7-3-0, so it’s not all doom and gloom, but losing to the Penguins always leaves a mark. Everyone in South Philly is gonna be walking around today with a frown deeper than the potholes on Oregon Avenue. We gotta regroup, shake this off, and remember who we are.
No one likes us — and we don't care. Mags, MiTL, Philadelphia.
