Oh, Flyers. Philadelphia is one of those tweener teams that could either be pretty decent or pretty bad this year. The only difference is that when they decide to be bad, they go off the deep end with it.
Panthers score four goals in the first seven minutes to chase Flyers goalie
Quite a home opener already.

A prime example of this is Saturday night's performance in Florida. More specifically, the first seven minutes, which were a nightmare for Flyers fans everywhere. It started when goalie Steve Mason turned a terrible rebound into an easy Panthers goal.

— Shane O'Donnell (@shane1342o) October 10, 2015 For some reason the Flyers decided to keep Mason in the game despite the fact he had just given up three terrible goals in the span of four minutes. Maybe they thought they weren’t all his fault. Which is fair, but the next one completely was.
And THEN he got pulled. Better late than never. Not exactly a Florida vacation for the Flyers on Saturday.
