Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. For fifty-five minutes of regulation and then throughout the five-minute overtime session, last night’s game between the Washington Capitals and Philadelphia Flyers did not look like a matchup between the Presidents’ Trophy winner and a team scraping and…
