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.
