Column: No, it’s not just another loss to Flyers

PHILADELPHIA — I’ll be honest here: I don’t care in the slightest that a puck slipped loose from Thomas Greiss‘ sweater after he’d just made a spectacular stop.

I don’t care that Claude Giroux then slammed it home in overtime to set off the Flyers’ latest put down of the Penguins, this by a 3-2 count Tuesday at Wells Fargo Center.

I don’t care that a fine power play converted a four-on-three, the NHL equivalent of a free throw.

I don’t even care, as Greiss and others in the visitors’ locker room maintained, that the puck should have been blown dead once in his sweater because there’s no human way the officials could have kept their eyes on it, per the rules.

“No way at all,” Greiss was telling, still seated at his stall several minutes afterward, still shaking his head. “When I have the puck, I have the puck.”

I won’t argue. But I also won’t care.
