After a disappointing 5-0 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Thursday, what else did you expect from the Philadelphia Flyers other than a...7-2 road win against the Washington Capitals last night? This team makes no sense, but at least they are capable of dominating elite teams on any given night.
On this particular evening a lot of Flyers had their hand in the Caps’ beatdown. Sean Couturier had a two-goal game with a beautiful move to embarrass Braden Holtby for his second. Nicolas Aube-Kubel registered a Gordie Howe hat trick thanks to dancing around Radko Gudas to set up Michael Raffl and a snipe of his own. Claude Giroux ended his 13-game goal drought in emphatic fashion and Jakub Voracek provided a pair of helpers. We touched on all those subjects in this postgame reaction as well as:
Robert Hagg, Shayne Gostisbehere, and Mark Friedman.
Whether or not the Flyers will (or should) make a move at the trade deadline.
Brian Elliott’s big saves when the game was close.
Nolan Patrick’s progress.
Washington Capitals’ fans.
