Necessary Win Tonight for the Boys in Orange

I do not think that it is a stretch to go out and say that tonight’s game is necessary win for the Philadelphia Flyers. Starting the season 0-2-1 is not how anyone in the organization wanted to start this season. Last Saturday’s loss against the Montreal Canadians was a heartbreaker and completely unacceptable. Under no circumstances is it okay to be up 3-0 going into the 3^rd period, and cough up the lead. The team completely lost focus and I do not think anyone expected them to pull of the W in overtime. For me, all will be forgiven if they can get back on track with a win tonight; but it will not be an easy task. The Ducks are a good hockey team with a lot of talent. However, this cannot be an excuse for the Flyers to perform poorly. If they want to be Stanley Cup contenders, they are going to have to beat good teams!
