It was an ugly game of hockey. Each team entered the game with losses in a row. But it was the Canadiens that seemed far more determined throughout the night to keep their losing streak intact. There are many statistics that could be used to describe this painful game but here’s one that puts things in perspective. The notoriously partisan off-ice officials at the Bell Centre no doubt minimized the carnage, but even by their calculation giveaways were 20-4 for the Canadiens. The home side was sloppy, careless and disinterested. As a result, the Flyers were gifted numerous, unhindered opportunities. For a short time, the interim chief advocate of fun was a breath of fresh air to Canadiens players and fans. But lately, it has appeared that there is a really good reason that 31 other teams in the NHL play with systems and structure. Championing chaos may entertain 11-year-olds but in the pro ranks it leads to what we witnessed tonight. The silver lining is that the Canadiens have a very good chance of finishing the season in one of the bottom two positions in the standings. That bodes well for the 2022 NHL Entry Draft where the Canadiens should find themselves picking in one of the top four spots. Up NextFour games remain in this difficult season with two games away and two at the Bell Centre. The Canadiens will travel to Ottawa to meet the Senators on Saturday night.
