Total gong show tonight defensively. Nobody back checking anybody now, multiple breakaways and 2 on 1s. The last one was due to a horrible play by Trocheck, who never has problems defensively. 4-0 now for the Flyers. This game is starting to suck.
One bright spot has been the first ever NHL game for Owen Tippett (10th overall in 2017). He made the team out of camp likely just for a 9 game audition, but tonight is his first game action. He's making the most of it putting 6 shots on net before the end of the 2nd period in limited ice time, most of those shots being dangerous. The kid has got talent, but just not quite ready for prime time in the other areas of the game.
