After a very annoying third period collapse against the Panthers Saturday night, the Flyers’ road trip continues with a New Year’s Eve stop in Raleigh to take on the Carolina Hurricanes. The Canes are 3-7 in their last ten and are having special teams troubles to rival the Flyers’ own, making this the perfect opportunity for the Flyers to rebound. We shall see. We talked with Brian LeBlanc of Canes’ Country to preview tonight’s game, and here’s what was on the table:Our old pal Rod The Bod’s performance in his first head coaching gigWhat can happen when a team struggles to find its identityThe Hurricanes continued insistence on defying the logic of advanced statsOn what happens when a hockey player gets too far inside his own head
Tonight’s game is an early one, at 6PM, giving you folks with friends plenty of time to enjoy the hockey before heading out to your New Year’s festivities. Have a happy holiday, everyone!
(Quick note: the audio got a little choppy towards the end; apologies for the quality. It picks back up after a minute or so, though. Thanks for understanding :))
