Philadelphia Flyers

Philly Hockey Now: The Flyers were tired. That could not have been much clearer. Dallas came into Saturday’s matchup rested and ready to go, while the Flyers had played in a shootout game the night prior, before having to travel from St. Louis to Dallas. Regardless, the Flyers were dominated on Saturday night, falling 5-1 to the Stars.

The Flyers were on the road this past weekend, so while visiting a friend from college, I got the chance to attend a Boston University @ Quinnipiac hockey game. It was one of my first hockey games from the stands in a little while, which was a pretty fun experience. I love college hockey as a sport, so getting to a new barn was fun in itself.

Back to hockey, three Flyers prospects were playing for Boston University in the game. What did I see from them?
