The scenery shone with the bright sun, as if it were set in the first period.
Everything went dark for the Flyers in their NHL outdoors on Lake Tahoe Sport on Sunday.
The Flyers conceded a second hat-trick to David Pasternak and scored four second-half goals to give the Bruins a loss of g-loss at Stateline, Nevada.
Carrying out without six key players, the fumbles against the flyers were stacked before the pig drop. They should have lights near Carter Hart. Instead, the 22-year-old goalkeeper was out of the game by the third period.
The Flyers (-4–4–3) are 0-3-2 against Boston and 8-1-1 against everyone else this season.
The Bruins (11-3-2) have outsourced the Flyers 23-12 in five matchups. The Flyers see Boston three more times.
Hart looked at himself. He had a really hard time tracking Pucks and preventing eye views. It usually saves a lot of it.
Outdoor sports are especially challenging for netminders. Who knows what elements got them the best. Hart’s mic postgame has audio dio problems. He posed a pair of questions but his answers were inaudible. It’s not his fault.
The Flyers were unable to test snow and lines of sight before the warmups this week.
Regardless, Hart struggled fiercely and the game slipped away from the flyers in a spiral fashion. Boston’s second-half ownership is with goals from Pasternak, Trent Frederick, Charlie Cowell and Nick Ritchie. The Bruins will beat the Flyers 15-3 in the middle frame. For the overall game, Boston goalkeeper Tukka Rask had only 16 savings, 11 of which came in the first period.
It was a 2-2 game in the first intermission and then it was not a game by the second intermission.
Twice the Bruins have scored six goals at heart this season. That won’t be a common occurrence in Hart’s career, but the young goalkeeper is inconsistent so far. He also faced a ton of shots.
The Flyers had little control, they weren’t very good against one of the NHL’s top clubs and Hart wasn’t right. It was a recipe for disaster.
Brian Elliott blocked 11 of 12 shots in the third period.
In the first four matchups between The Flyers and Bruins, Boston dominated the third period. The biggest difference was the final 20 minutes of a 4-0-0 win over the Bruins Flyers. In the final step they outscored the Flyers 11-5. In three of their four wins, they erased a third-period loss.
The Flyers actually conceded just four goals to Boston during the first two periods of those four matchups.
Boston reversed that trend on Lake Leho during the second period by flipping up the Latu game on flyers. If the Flyers Lake Tahoe trip didn’t have six players already and was going through a set of adjustments on Saturday, the Bruins would have fully embraced it with four goals in the middle frame. They had six goals in the first two periods.
“To tell you the truth, obviously they are important players, but we had a good team tonight and we showed them in the first period, played extremely smart and hard,” said Flyers head coach Ellen Vignoulet. It was from us in another, but our people fought and competed. And at the end of the day, as a coach, coaching staff and as an organization, you want your people to go out and compete. We’d love it to come back a few other shifts but they went a little farther from there. ”
The Flyers had a 2-1 lead at one point and their first period was solid. They were outshots 27-8 the rest of the way.
The F-Flyers held Pasternak to one goal in four games last season, including a round-robin contest.
In this match, Pasternak has dominated with eight points (six goals, two assists) in three matches.
There’s no denying the flyers ’shot and goal-scoring problems pertaining to 15 games in the season. Those areas were key to Vignolt’s club last season.
Sun With concerns over the ice surface due to the heavy sun, the NHL changed the start time of the game twice before Sunday. T was dropped off at 4:59 p.m., with a flattering sunset. While aesthetically pleasing to the viewer, it was challenging for the players.
“I thought the hardest part was probably in the first place with all the sun and in some places being blinded by the sun – it was dangerous at times,” said Sean Couturier. “It was the same thing for both teams. In second and third order, I think the atmosphere, the playground was good for both teams. They were better than us; we have to give them credit.”
This is a quote that the NHLA should consider when planning future outdoor games.

F was a positive for the Flyers, James van Reimsdick roared aggressively. He had a three-point night (one goal, two assists) and scored 21 points through 15 games.
Couturier (one goal, one assist) and Capin Hayes (two assists) also had multi-point games, while Joel Farabi maintained his eighth mark to match his total of goals from last season.
The Flyers hired 11 forwards and seven defenders, including Bluenar Mark Friedman entering the lineup and playing some winger.
Sunday Cloud Giroux, Jacob Vorasek, Travis Koenigsegg, Oscar Lindbloom, Scott Lafton and Justin Brown were on the NHL’s Covid Protocol list on Sunday night. All six have lost two flyer games since the club was forced by multiple cases of COVID-19 from a mandatory seven-day shutdown by the club’s NHL.
Giroux missed consecutive games for the first time since February 20-25, 2016, when he was run out for three straight from injury. Vignault confirmed that Giroux tested positive for coronavirus on February 9, while Captain and Brown were placed on the COVID protocol list. Vorasek was added to the list on 11 February. Lindblom and Lafton went on Feb. 12 and Konekney made the most recent addition on Feb. 14.
There are many contributing factors to why a player can be placed on the COVID protocol list. Just because a player is out due to the COVID protocol does not mean that the player is tested positive for coronavirus.
Players who test positive cannot re-engage in team activity for at least 14 days of the initial positive test.
F Flyers will fly home on Monday, practice on Tuesday and host Rangers on Wednesday (7pm ET / NBCSN).
