It’s difficult to win hockey games when you have an impotent power play. TheMonday night, against one of the better teams in the NHL, it was the difference maker. The Flyers wasted five opportunities while their opponent took advantage of their only chance with the man-advantage.
“I’m not going to stand up here all year long and talk about moral victories, but I got to remember where we are in the organization and the process that we’re at,” Tortorella said.When you’re getting beat during 5-on-5 play, the great equalizer can be taking advantage when you’re on the power play. “I thought it was inconsistent tonight,” Tortorella said. “I thought we threw a lot of pucks into pressure instead of away from pressure.”For two periods, it was easy to see the talent and depth gap between the two clubs. But in the third, the Flyers and Hurricanes at times looked like equals. The Flyers controlled most of the period but couldn’t convert.
The Flyers didn’t register a shot on goal over the final five minutes. When they tallied their final shot, they had a 12-6 shot advantage in the period.
