After their season unraveled late against the Sabres on Sunday, their effort was effected by their moves at the deadline on Tuesday. Moves that signaled the team was looking towards next season. Rather than a run at the playoffs.
“I can’t answer how the players feel, I’m not a mind reader,” head coach Alain Vigneault said.
With 14-games left, the Flyers look to focus on building for next season. Something that will give some young players time to show why they deserve a shot next season.
The Flyers showed no fight after GM Chuck Fletcher did not add at the deadline. Tonight, try to show some fight against their cross state rival.
“No matter what, you should be prepared every game,” forward Sean Couturier said. “It’s part of being a pro.”
