Last night, the Anaheim Ducks defeated the Calgary Flames in Anaheim for the 21st time in a row. Calgary hasn’t won in Anaheim since 2004. What does this have to do with the Philadelphia Flyers, you ask? Not a whole lot, really – just a reminder that while Anaheim has been dominating Calgary, they still…
*The Flyers are in Brooklyn this evening to take on the Islanders in their arena where you can’t watch half the hockey.

Morning Observations is a new feature, where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. For the final 40 minutes of last night’s game, the Philadelphia Flyers were dominated by the New York Islanders, and a primary reason was the Islanders’ forecheck.

Morning Observations is a new feature, where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye.
