 Svoboda,Brind'Amour downs Panthers

Petr Svoboda hasn't got the best start of the season. With a teamworst
-5 and no goals he certainly was looking to step his game up in this game.
He got what he wanted.

He had the gamewinning goal and 1 assist to help the Flyers turn a 0-1 deficit into a 2-1 win. Rod Brind'Amour also had a good night, picking up 1 goal and 1 assist.

Philadelphia started with an enormous pressure on the Panthers goal.
John Vanbiesbrouck was tested with some good shots from both of the Flyers scoring lines but didn't let anything pass. The game continued
for a must-be record 10 minutes and 52 seconds before the first whistle blew on an offside.
Flyers were still much owning the play but was cooled down a little when
Mikael Renberg got a minor for tripping. Flyers played calm and tight and didn't let the Panthers get any free chances.
But the Panthers still got some momentum of it and had much of the scoring chances in the final 5 minutes of the period but backup goaltender
Garth Snow stood tall and kept the game tied a 0.

2 minutes into the second, Flyers were given the chance of scoring the first goal when Mike Hough got 2 for hooking. The powerplay were sloppy though and got little time with the puck. It was totaly destroyed when
Rod Brind'Amour went a little rough on Brian Skrudland and got 2 minutes for cross checking. Flyers were playing badly in the following minutes and Dan Kordic decided to wake his team up by take a match against Paul Laus. Not much happened though as the fight contained
more dancing than punches.
After a good scoring chance by the Flyers, they managed to get a face-off inside the Panthers zone. Eric Lindros got it and passed it to Janne Niinimaa who fired a one-timer. It was blocked by Jody Hull, who started a turnover. Under heavy surveillance, he still managed to get the puck to Martin Straka who finished with a beautiful slapshot that got past Garth Snow on his stickside.

Flyers kept trying but Vanbiesbrouck was denying and were looking to go to the dressing room with a 1-0 lead. But they would be disappointed.
Jody Hull were advancing on the left side towards the Flyers zone, but in the center zone, Petr Svoboda showed up and stole the puck from Hull.
When almost in the left corner he fired a loose shot on Vanbiesbrouck that he couldn't freeze. Rod Brind'Amour seized the opportunity and put the puck past the goaltender's legs.

With the game still even, it was anyone's game going into the third.
But the Flyers seemed to be wanting it the most.
By the time they got to the 10 minute mark they have fired 9 shots on goal, only allowing 2 on Garth Snow. But Vanbiesbrouck was playing
like there was no tomorrow and as the minutes were going, overtime seemed to be happening. But a roughing on Terry Carkner changed that.
The Flyers established a good powerplay and were keeping the puck inside the Panthers zone. Hawerchuk tested Vanbiesbrouck with a wrister close-range but the goaltender gloved it. In the face-off that followed, Hawerchuk won the face-off out to Rod Brind'Amour who quickly passed it to Petr Svoboda. He saw John Vanbiesbrouck out of position and with a nice wristshot he put the puck past his gloveside.

Posted Image

Panthers went on an all out attack after the goal and Flyers were now trying hard to defend their crease. with 52 seconds left, the Panthers pulled Vanbiesbrouck and were trying to get the tying goal. But a dump-in by Eric Desjardins into the Panthers zone couldn't be reached by their players and John LeClair took the puck, skated behind the net and
found Mikael Renberg who easily lifted it in to make the final score 3-1.

There is really nothing negative to say about this game. Panthers lone goal was a slapshot that goaltenders usually don't even have time to react on. Powerplay was a bit sloppy but 1/2 is acceptable.
Garth Snow was brilliant in this game except for a crazy pass that landed on Mike Hough's stick. Luckily, he recovered and made a good save with his glove. In two games, he is 1-0-1 with a 93,7%.

Three Stars
#1: Petr Svoboda 1 goal 1 assist
#2: Garth Snow 19 saves, 95%
#3: Rod Brind'Amour 1 goal 1 assist

 Flyers ties it up in Washington

The Flyers were headed for their first loss in nine games and
they needed someone who could step up and stop that. But
it wasn't Eric Lindros, Rod Brind'Amour, John LeClair or any other
of the usual goal-producing players who did that. Instead, two
players who combined had produced just two points so far saved
a point for the team.

Trent Klatt scored his 2nd goal of the season and Kevin Haller
scored his first to help the Flyers catch up with a 2-0 deficit into
a 2-2 tie.

You could tell from the start that something was wrong with the
Flyers. They just wasn't there on the ice and the Capitals seized
the momentum early, pushing hard for a goal. Luckily for the
Flyers, Ron Hextall wasn't going to let anything pass him that easy.
14 minutes into the game Brendan Witt got 2 minutes for hooking
and Flyers, who so far had been on the defense, got the opportunity
of getting into the game again. But they failed to establish themselves
in the Capitals zone and were chasing the puck mostly. When 1:19 of
the penalty had passed Kjell Samuelsson ended the Flyers powerplay with
roughing call. When Brendan Witt's penalty ended, the Capitals went for
the goal. Phil Housley advanced into the Flyers zone and fired a wristshot which Ron Hextall deflected into the right corner. Housley managed to get to the puck just in time to make a beautiful pass to
an open Brendan Witt. He had no problems of putting it past Ron Hextall who was totally unprepared for the shot.

Capitals were backing home and with the Flyers non-existing Flyers they had no problems of holding the lead until the end of the period.

Flyers tried to get their offense going in the second and were playing like they should play: tough. Gaining some momentum, they still couldn't figure out how to score on Jim Carey, who so far had been playing great.
12 minutes in Dan Kordic and Mark Tinordi decided to drop the gloves and it was a tight match with both contenders landing several punches on each other. It ended in tie though, much disappointing for the crowd who wanted to see Kordic flat on the ice.
A sloppy play about 2 minutes later extended the Capitals lead. Kjell Samuelsson had the puck in the left corner and was about to advance out of the zone. But he didn't put his head up and Todd Krygier could easily steal the puck and quickly feeding it to Michal Pivonka and he put the puck past Hextall's gloveside making the score 2-0.

Washington were then attacking recklessly, going for a 3-0 lead. When
one of their plays failed, Chris Therien quickly advanced with the puck. He passed it on to Dainius Zubrus who found Trent Klatt on the blueline. He took a few steps in and fired a mighty slapshot and Jim Carey had not chance on reacting, making the score 2-1.

Despite getting the goal, the Flyers still continued to struggle with their offense and lacked much of their usual aggressiveness, which they
had to use if they were having any chance of winning this game.

They couldn't have used it better than in the start of the third. Joel Otto
won the face-off and Kevin Haller picked the puck up, deked his way into the zone and fired a hard wristshot. Jim Carey wasn't fast enough with his
glove and the score was now tied at 2.

The Flyers finally woke up after this goal and played more secure and with better timing in their passes. 7 minutes in, Eric Lindros was close of getting the 3-2 goal but his wristshot hit the crossbar, bounced on Jim Carey and then hit the right post. John LeClair was there for the rebound
but Carey made a diving stop to keep the game tied at 2.
The Capitals managed to switch the momentum back to their side midway through the third when Kevin Haller got a minor for tripping.
Although not scoring, they racked up a few good chances which Ron Hextall really had to work on to keep out.
With 1:15 to go and the game going to overtime, Kjell Samuelsson was once again handed a 2 minute minor for roughing. Samuelsson wasn't all too happy with the penalty but the referee made the right call.
Flyers held their ground though, and the game was head for overtime.

Overtime started with a breakaway for the Capitals. Jason Allison stole the puck after faceoff and suddenly found himself alone with Ron Hextall.
He deked twice and got Hextall down on his knees but finished awfully, missing the net totally. That was the most dramatic event of the period
and neither team got enough momentum going to score and the game ended in 2-2 tie.

The Flyers were not on their game tonight and were lucky that at least two players was on a scoring mood. The first two scoring lines were practically invisible this night and didn't create anything dangerous at all.
They once again leaned back on their tight defense, who had been the only consistent part of the team so far. They could rely on this the entire season, but when they too are off their game, the Flyers could lose many important games.

Three Stars
#1: Jim Carey 31 saves, .939%
#2: Ron Hextall 31 saves, .939%
#3: Kevin Haller 1 goal 1 assist

NEXT GAME
Philadelphia will continue their roadtrip down south to face the Tampa Bay Lightning. With a 5-4-0-0 record, they have so far played better than expected and will not be an easy matchup for the Flyers.

 Flyers storms Lightning

Kjell Samuelsson isn't one player that you see in spotlight that
often. But he sure got his time tonight.

Samuelsson scored 2 goal and had 6 minutes time in the penalty box
as the Philadelphia Flyers relatively easy beat the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Flyers got the best start as Chris Gratton got a minor for roughing 2 minutes into the period. Unlike their last game, the chemistry was much
better this time and the Lightning had much trouble defending themselves.
But they managed to keep the score tied at 0, much thanks to Corey Schwab, who made an unbelievable save on a one-timer from Eric Desjardins.

Flyers had much of the possession and also got the first goal.
Rod Brind'Amour managed to fend off a few Tampa Bay players in the
left corner of the Lightning zone and with a weak shot he found Kjell Samuelsson in front of the net who lifted it over Schwabs glove.

Posted Image

The same Samuelsson made a bad play 3 minutes and Brian Bellows
stole the puck and the Flyers defenseman had to tripp him in order to stop him. The Flyers was so close of killing the penalty when they lost concentration for a second and Chris Gratton used that mistake to find
Dino Ciccarelli in front of the goal. The veteran had no problem of shooting the puck into the net behind a surprised Ron Hextall.

Posted Image

Flyers would reply quickly though. When Daymond Langkow was in the penalty box for hooking they seized the moment to take the lead.
Lindros got the puck from his own zone and skated out on center ice going left. There he saw John LeClair on the right side and with a smooth pass he got the puck to him. LeClair said thanks by finishing
with a hard slapshot that passed Corey Schwab's stickside.

The Flyers went into the dressing room with a great performance in their backs and looked confident going into the second period. But they were pushed down in their own zone instead early as Rod Brind'Amour got a minor for hooking. The Flyers defense was stellar though and didn't let anything pass this time. From 9:08 in to the end of the period referees Rob Martell and Mick Bouchard almost blew their lungs out, finding penalties almost everywhere it seemed. It began with a tripping call on Daniel Lacroix which was a little controversial as Dainius Zubrus had a puck over the redline exactly before the referee blew their whistle.

Posted Image

Exactly 1 minute and 30 seconds later Eric Lindros also got a minor for tripping. They managed to kill the penalty on Lacroix and with only a seconds left on Lindros's penalty, Rod Brind'Amour threw a puck up to Kjell Samuelsson to make a line-change. Samuelsson skated towards the middle of the Lightning blueline and fired a weak shot on goal and also headed towards the bench for a linechange. But Corey Schwab somehow let the puck pass him and the score now was 3-1. Schwab didn't look all to happy with that allowed goal.

Posted Image

Not even a minute later the referees found a hooking on Dino Ciccarelli.
The Flyers wasn't late of capitalizing on the opportunity. Lindros made an almost exact pass as the one on the 2-1 goal but this time he was on the right and found Pat Falloon on the left. Falloon deked his way into the zone and fired a shot against Corey Schwab's gloveside and although having the eyes on the puck he let the puck pass him, another weak goal allowed by the goaltender.

Posted Image

Then a penalty frenzy started. First, Chris Therien got a minor for slashing and 13 seconds later Dino Ciccarelli got another hooking on him.
Not even 30 seconds had passed until the referees found another penalty, this time an obstruction hooking on Cory Cross. But the referees wasn't done there. Another 30 seconds passed until the referees decided it was time for Kjell Samuelsson to spend 2 minutes in the penalty box for tripping. With all these penalties, it was now 3 on 3!
Of all these penalties, only two could be considered as real infractions.
But no more goals came in this period as both teams had to focus on defense. The period ended with another penalty on Samuelsson, his third minor of the game.

The Lightnings got an early momentum with their powerplay from the second period. They had three real good chances but Ron Hextall was there every time. Flyers were forced to a more defensive play in third as Tampa Bay were much stronger than in the previous two periods.
But Ron Hextall is really on his game right now and made several
difficult saves when Tampa Bay pushed on the hardest.
But no more goal were scored in this game and the game ended with
a much deserved 4-1 win.

The Flyers really did one big mistake in this game and that mistake ended it a goal. But did just shows that you cannot be perfect all the time. Despite scoring 2 goals, Kjell Samuelsson will probably hear a few words from coach Terry Murray. This was the second game in a row he took an unnecessary penalty which ended with an allowed goal.

But otherwise, there's nothing to complain about. They have now gone undefeated in 10 games and their latest loss came on October 14th, a 3-2 home loss against the Los Angeles Kings. The Flyers now has the 2nd place in the Eastern Conference.

Three Stars
#1: Ron Hextall 30 saves, .967%
#2: Kjell Samuelsson 2 goals 0 assists
#3: John LeClair 1 goal 0 assists

 Hextall, Lindros downs Panthers

If Ron Hextall keeps playing like he did tonight. the Flyers will
have no problems of making a trip to the Finals this year.

Hextall stopped 38 of 40 shots and Lindros scored the game winning goal
to claim a 3-2 road victory against the Florida Panthers.

There was no question about who were dominating the first period.
The bigger portion of it was the Panthers vs. Hextall. The Flyers looked
weak, as they could not produce any form of offense against the Panthers goal. The first shot on Panthers goaltender Mark Fitzpatrick game after 6:28 and it was a loose one produced by Dainius Zubrus.
Almost 20 seconds later, Joel Otto got a minor for roughing and put some pressure on the Flyers. Just 30 seconds later, Petr Svoboda got called for
tripping putting additional pressure on the defense. But the PK-unit and
Ron Hextall actually managed to resolve that situation.
Scott Mellanby got a minor for hooking almost 16 minutes in which the Flyers had the chance of getting into the game. But they didn't even managed a single shot on goal and their powerplay ended abruptly when Eric Lindros got 2 minutes for roughing.
When the Panthers got the one man advantage they threw everything they had on Hextall and soon he forced to capitulate. Brian Skrudland picked up his rebound and passed the puck back to Scott Mellanby, who put the puck between the goaltender's legs. A well-deserved goal.

At the goal, Chris Therien showed his discontent and pushed the goalscorer a little bit too hard and the referee gave him 2 minutes for roughing. Only a few seconds after face-off Paul Laus and Eric Lindros dropped their gloves and although ending in a tie, it was a good scrap.
The period ended with an awesome save. Mark Fitzpatrick headed out behind his crease to play the puck to Brian Skrudland but Rod Brind'Amour sneaked past him and fired away a quick wristshot towards an open net. Realising his mistake, Fitzpatrick stretched every muscle in his body and made an unbelievable save with he blocker.

An absolutely amazing save by Fitzpatrick who got a standing ovation from the crowd. If he was going to continue this play in the second, the Flyers would have no chance of even scoring in this game. Outshot by 18-9, they could only thank Ron Hextall that they were only trailing by 1 goal.

And Fitzpatrick's good game would continue in the second as well.
The Panthers still had the momentum but when they Flyers once got through, he was there to stop the shots.
13 minutes in, Eric Lindros got a very doubtful 2 minute penalty for interference. This caused a lot of protests from the Flyers and it seems like he was affected as he handed Rob Niedermayer a 2 minute minor for hooking, also a very doubtful call.
The period was looking to end scoreless when Radek Dvorak got 2 minutes for holding. There, Ron Hextall showed his puck handling skills as he found John Leclair with a long pass. Coming in from the right he fired a hard slapshot into Fitzpatrick's left corner.

Flyers woke up for real after this goal, riding the momentum.
Mark Fitzpatrick had to make several difficult stops and after one of them
John LeClair came a little too close to the goaltender, running in to him. Paul Laus answered by wrestling LeClair down, thus earning a 2 minute minor for roughing. But with 9 seconds left in the period, the Flyers had no time of scoring.

With the powerplay from the second, they began to put some serious pressure on the Panthers defense to score the go-ahead goal.
But they kept the score tied a 1. A little over a minute after Laus penalty ended, Mikael Renberg got 2 minutes for interference.
Panthers had several good chances, including a one-timer by Rob Niedermayer which Ron Hextall made a sprawling save on.
The moment after, Eric Lindros and Janne Niinimaa started a breakaway but after being on the ice for a long time, Lindros soon got caught up by Terry Carkner and he stole the puck.
Carkner tried to pass the puck to Brian Skrudland but Niinimaa got his stick on it and it went in between Mark Fitzpatrick's legs, much to his surprise.

In the face-off that followed, it only took 13 seconds until Paul Laus and Eric Lindros once again found each other for another fight. This time Laus won the matchup on TKO.
The Flyers were playing a solid defense but somehow Scott Mellanby found his way through with the puck and finished with a backhand close-range on Ron Hextall. He got the puck on his blocker but failed to bounce it in the right direction and it went in.

Posted Image

Suddenly, it was anyone's game again. Flyers were the closest of scoring, having multiple chances in the minutes that followed.
Eric Desjardins got a clean pass from Rod Brind'Amour and was about to shoot it in when Scott Mellanby stopped him with an obvious hooking.
The referee let the play continue though. But a few minutes later, The Flyers eventually got their goal. On an upcoming penalty on Paul Laus, Niinimaa found Eric Lindros on the right. He skated towards the Panthers zone and fired a slapshot that went low. But Fitzpatrick didn't even react and he puck went in between his legs.

Posted Image

Flyers went on the the defense, seeking any mistakes that the Panthers might do to create a breakaway. But Florida pushed hard and now Ron Hextall really stepped up and made several saves and held out until the final buzzer, signaling that the Flyers had cashed in another victory.

Ron Hextall was the real hero in this game as the Flyers allowed 40 shots on goal, their second highest shots allowed this season. In general, it wasn't their best performance of the season. There is still
lack of chemistry from time to time and they have a tendency of struggling early. Hextall is carrying a heavy load now and they cannot have these kind of games on a regular if they want to keep him fresh if they should make it to the playoffs.

Three Stars
#1: Ron Hextall, 38 saves, .950%
#2: Scott Mellanby, 2 goals, 0 assists
#3: Janne Niinimaa, 1 goal, 1 assist

 Flyers powerplays Islanders

The one man advantage really does the work for the Flyers right now.

Mikael Renberg had 3 assists, John LeClair and Eric Desjardins both had a goal and a assist and Eric Lindros scored a goal, all of them at the powerplay.

Flyers started just great. Bryan Berard got a minor for obstruction hooking after only 23 seconds and 1 minute 8 seconds later the puck was in the net.
Mikael Renberg had the puck down in the right corner in the Islanders zone and saw Eric Desjardins on the blueline. Desjardins got a pass and fired a one-timer which Tommy Salo got his stick on, but left a rebound and John LeClair took care of it and lifted it over the goaltender.

Three minutes in, the Flyers scored once again on the powerplay.
This time they used a mistake by the Islanders PK-line up in the Flyers zone and started a breakaway. Mikael Renberg had no problem finding
Eric Desjardins in front of the net who finished with a one-timer.

Posted Image

The penalties continued to rain over the Islanders. Todd Bertuzzi got 2 minors in the span of 5 minutes and wasn't all too happy with the referee. But then two Flyers penalties followed and created some justice.
The pace of the game declined a bit with all the penalties, but the Flyers still had most of the momentum and ended the period leading the shots with 18-5!

The Flyers were looking to close this game early and pressed on
to do this. But they now met a more stubborn Islanders defense
and had really hard time of even getting a shot on goal. The
Islanders showed some great discipline and blocked shot after shot
going towards Salo. Frustration took it's toll when Eric Lindros
took a 2 minute minor for roughing.
A few minutes later, Dan Kordic and Ken Belanger dropped their gloves but it looked more like a highscool dance than a hockey fight.
Flyers got a powerplay 16 minutes in but failed to create anything
worthy of calling a scoring chance. The Islanders actually won the
shots on goal this period with 7-6.

Rod Brind'Amour has been playing inconsistently the last few game and this one was no exception. 2 minutes in he took a unnecessary minor for hooking, giving the Islanders a chance to close in. But luckily from him, their powerplay wasn't on their game tonight and failed to create anything. The Flyers powerplay however was something different.
Steve Webb got a minor for interference 7 minutes 1 seconds in and only 12 seconds later the Flyers scored 3-0.
Mikael Renberg quickly advanced into the Islanders zone after face-off and passed the puck to John LeClair in front of the net. He got a shot away which Salo saved but left the rebound far out to the left and Eric Lindros had no problems of shooting it into the open net.
A goal that had more frustration behind it than skill.

Posted Image

A minute later, Dan Kordic and Steve Webb started to swing at each other and this time Kordic got the win.
Ron Hextall was going towards his first shutout of the season but a
sloppy play by John LeClair changed that.
Randy Wood took the puck and passed it to Andreas Johansson who
scored his first goal of his career top shelf on Hextall.

Posted Image

The goaltender wasn't all too pleased with that. But despite that, he cheered with the rest of the team when they celebrated another win.

Although not dominating, the Flyers are one of the best teams in the league right now. Everything is going their way right now simply.
Question is, when will it end?

NEXT GAME
Flyers will go to Buffalo to play the Buffalo Sabres. After a three-game winning streak they had a disappointing loss against Colorado and is surely hoping to rebound quickly.

 Hasek, Grosek downs Flyers

For a while, it seemed that nothing was going to stop the Flyers.
But two czech players made sure that their streak ended.

Dominik Hasek stopped 27 shots and Michal Grosek had 2 goals
as they beat the Flyers. Chris Therien had the lone goal for the Flyers,
his first of the season.

The pace was pretty slow in the beginning. Both teams showed up
with a good defensive play and of course, great goaltending.
It became evident that this game was going to be a low-scoring one.
2/3 of the goals came within 3 minutes in the first.
Flyers were there first one's to score.
Therien advanced towards the Sabres zone but had traffic in front of him and passed the puck till Daniel Lacroix. He waited until Therien had gotten through the traffic and passed it back. Therien advanced into the zone and fired a wristshot along the ice out of reach for Dominik Hasek.

Posted Image

Sabres goal came when Kjell Samuelsson failed to clear the puck out of the zone. Brian Holzinger caught the puck and fed the pass to Michal Grosek who finished with a shot on Hextall's stickside and it bounced off his blocker and into the net.

Posted Image

Shortly after, Matthew Barnaby got 2 minutes for hooking and Flyers had some good chances of scoring but Dominik Hasek made several good saves to keep the score tied at 1. A penalty on Curtis Brown created a short 5 on 3 for the Flyers but this didn't help. The period ended with
the momentum swinging at the Flyers direction.

The Flyers continued to test Hasek in the second. The Sabres defense let many shots pass but it looks like they felt confortable with it as
the goaltender grabbed everyone of the pucks that were thrown at him.
He shined when the Sabres got shorthanded again, saving several close-range shots.

Instead, the Sabres got ahead on the board. Michael Peca dumped the puck into the Flyers zone and Dixon Ward picked it up in the right corner. With a pass he found Michal Grosek who finished with a nice back-hand.

Posted Image

Just a minute later, Dan Kordic wanted to settle things with Rob Ray and they went at it. Ray had the advantage early but Kordic came back in the end and the scrap ended in a tie.
Flyers continued to press on to score a tying goal and had a great chance on a powerplay but while getting close Petr Svoboda got a minor for cross-checking, just in the wrong moment.

The third period belonged to the Flyers. Racking up several chances, they really made Dominik Hasek work. Hasek on the other hand had
one of those games where you understand why his nickname is "The Dominator". With 28 seconds left Rob Ray got 2 minutes for hooking and the Flyers put it all one on card, going 6 on 4. But the Sabres defense held it together and broke the Flyers point streak winning 2-1.

Inefficiency is the one word to explain the loss. With facing one of the best goaltenders in the league, the Flyers seemed intimidated by this
and were looking for the perfect chance to score. Although facing 28 shots, Hasek didn't have to many any difficult saves. If it's a receipt of his skills or the Flyers lack of testing cannot really be said.

THREE STARS
#1: Dominik Hasek, 27 saves, .960%
#2: Michal Grosek, 2 goals 0 assists
#3: Chris Therien, 1 goal 0 assists

 Hextall blanks Black Hawks

He has been close so many times already this season and now
he finally got the shutout.

Ron Hextall had to make just 17 saves to hold the Black Hawks scoreless
in the game. He also added an assist in a game that the Flyers controlled completely.

First period started pretty calm. Neither of the teams showed some real interest of really attacking the opposing net. But a good shift by the Legion
of Doom quickly lifted the pace as they spent almost 2 minutes in the Chicago zone getting 5 shots on goal in the process. This gave the Flyers
an important momentum and almost ten minutes in it payed off.
Ron Hextall put the puck quickly into play after saving it with his glove.
He passed it to Petr Svoboda who found Pat Falloon on center ice.
He skated into the Black Hawks zone and fired a quick wristshot which
Ed Belfour let past him quite easily.

The Flyers had most of the chances the rest of the period and had a firm grip on the game.

Chicago came out a little better in the second and although they
didn't get any good scoring chances their physical play started to
get warm. Flyers got several hard bodychecks on them and especially
Eric Lindros was the target. Lindros got hit hard by Murray Craven
in front of the Chicago net and Craven got a minor for interference.
Chicago forechecked hard after the face-off and suddenly they were on the attack. After a shot by Ethan Moreau Petr Svoboda got the puck and threw it out of the zone. The Chicago defense didn't see Dale Hawerchuk coming thru and suddenly it was him alone against Ed Belfour.
Hawerchuk deked, got Belfour down on his knees and lifted the puck in with a backhand.

After getting a little too much attention from the Black Hawks players with Bob Probert being the most prominent one, Lindros retalied with
a slash which resultet in a 2 minute minor for him.
But the Flyers built a wall around Ron Hextall and Chicago failed to create anything that would be considered as a scoring chance.
Flyers had fewer shots in the second period but still managed to get one more goal. Niinimaa fired a shot on goal which Belfour left a rebound on and Lindros could push the puck in.

Third period was pretty eventless. The Flyers thought the game was over
and started to play a more boring, defensive game and with the Black Hawks having a bad night it wasn't a great game for the audience.
The Dan Kordic - Enrico Ciccone fight is the only thing worth mentioning.
Ciccone landed tons of punches on Kordic, who still managed to stay on his feet before the referees thought it was time to break it up.
Ron Hextall did get anything much to do in this game and the shutout was near. But a sloppy play by Mikael Renberg in the Flyers zone led to a chance which Tony Amonte almost scored on but Hextall made a great save and made sure the game ended 3-0.

You can't really say that Hextall was the key factor for this victory.
The defense made it easy for him and held the Black Hawks to just
17 shots, a season low in shots allowed. But still, getting a shutout
is hard in this league and he could have let in any of those shots.
The lone negative part of the Flyers performance was the offensive
play. When dominating a game that much they should have scored
at least 2 more goals. Belfour wasn't razorsharp and except for Hawerchuk's goal the other 2 is considered to be soft. But you can't everything I guess.

THREE STARS
#1: Ron Hextall, 17 svs, 100%
#2: Pat Falloon, 1 goal, 0 assists
#3: Eric Lindros, 1 goal, 0 assists

 Flyers tops Maple Leafs

Mikael Renberg has been struggling lately and coach Terry Murray decided
to split up the Legion of Doom and put him with Rod Brind'Amour and
Pat Falloon. The result was pleasing for both Renberg and the Flyers.

Renberg scored the game winning goal and added an assist and Rod Brind'Amour got an assist to break his four-game point drought.

Toronto was the better team in the beginning. Mats Sundin had a puck in the crossbar only 45 seconds and Ron Hextall was clearly not ready for that shot. A few inches lower and it would have gone in. But it was the Maple Leafs who would take the lead eventually.
Kelly Fairchild won the puck in the right corner in the Flyers zone and passed it on to Nick Kypreos who directly fed it to Jamie Baker in front of the net. He finished with shooting the puck top shelf on Hextall's gloveside.

Flyers would reply only a few minutes later. Lindros passed the puck to Mikael Renberg who shot the puck at Felix Potvin who deflected it into the right corner. Lindros picked up the rebound and Potvin once again deflected the puck into the right corner. There Renberg took the puck, skated behind the crease and found Dale Hawerchuk who fired a quick one-timer past Potvin.

Trent Klatt is usually a spectacular player to watch. But he might have scored the goal of the year. Klatt picked the puck up in his own zone, deked past both Mats Sundin and Doug Gilmour and pushed his way through another three Maple Leafs players before he finished with a
wristshot past Potvin's glove.

Maple Leafs still had the momentum though and tested Ron Hextall with a few good shots but he made sure that the Flyers went to the dressing room for the first intermission with a lead of 2-1.

Flyers had most of the momentum in the second, much thanks to the three penalties that the Maple Leafs got. But the Maple Leafs shorthanded units were sharp and didn't let anything through, except one shot. Pat Falloon got a shot on goal which Potvin steered the rebound right on to Rod Brind'Amour. He only saw an open net
and fired away a shot. But Potvin swung his body around
and saved the puck with his back. After he freezed it he got applauded by the Flyers crowd and that's a rare event.

The third period was far more even than the previous two periods.
The Maple Leafs were chasing a tie and the Flyers were chasing
an insure goal. The result was a more open game with a alot more shots and alot more emotions.
Dan Kordic suddenly got into a scrap with veteran Wendel Clark who gave Kordic quite a beating. It seemed to get the boost Toronto needed because two minutes later they got the tying goal. Doug Gilmour took advantage of a mistake made by the Flyers in the Toronto zone and fed it to an open Mats Sundin. The Flyers could only watch as he fired away a hard slapshot past Ron Hextall.

Posted Image

But the lead would only last 25 seconds. Directly after face-off Rod Brind'Amour advanced into the Maple Leafs zone and just got away a pass to Mikael Renberg who made no mistake putting the puck into the net.

Posted Image

Toronto was desperately going for another tying goal but the Flyers
started playing more safe and tight and didn't want to risk anything.
With a little over a minute to go, Toronto pulled Potvin for an extra attacker to go for the goal. But instead Dainius Zubrus punctured the game shooting the puck into the open net. One more goal would be scored though.
Joel Otto copied Mikael Renberg's setup by picking up a deflection in the right corner, skating behind the net and passed the puck to Trent Klatt who shot the puck right on Potvin the first time but picked the rebound up and made it 5-2.

This was a great game executed by the Flyers and they made few mistakes. 5 goals forward was also a proof that they can score big, when they're on the mood that is.

THREE STARS
#1: Trent Klatt, 2 goals, 0 assists
#2: Mikael Renberg, 1 goal, 1 assist
#3: Dainius Zubrus, 1 goal, 1 assist

 Flyers win in scoring frenzy

Wayne Gretzky was on a really good mood tonight scoring 2 goals
and 1 assist for his Rangers. But sometimes that is not even good
enough when your defense is leaking.

Flyers scored six goals, a season high, and nine players picked up
at least a point in a game where the goaltending for both team
didn't work one bit.

Gretzky and Co. was on Hextall from the very beginning creating a
alot of good scoring chances and got the early momentum.
One shot from Mark Messier went right through the traffic and looked
like it was going in but it hit the crossbar behind Hextall.
But it was the Flyers who got on the scoreboard first. Eric Lindros was
about to take a shot when a Rangers defenseman lifted his stick and he missed the puck. Instead Rod Brind'Amour got it and shot the puck against the net. Mike Richter, who was going down to save Lindros's shot, got caught off balance and left an open net for Brind'Amour.

Rangers still had most of the chances and had a total of 12 shots on goal just on the powerplay this period. But so far, Hextall managed to
keep the puck out of the net.
With 1.37 left of the period Flyers scored another goal. Brind'Amour took a shot close range on Richter and Renberg was there for the rebound. Richter caught that one as well but when he tried to poke the puck away from the net he poked it to Brind'Amour who easily lifted the puck in.
While trailing in shots the Flyers were up 2-0 going into the second.

The Flyers found themselves in a shorthanded situation just 36 seconds into the second period. Rangers was once again close of scoring but Hextall saved the Flyers for the third time tonight.
A minute after the period ended Lindros advanced into the Rangers zone
and found Eric Desjardins completely open in front of the net. An easy pass and an even easier shot later it was now 3-0.

Posted Image

Frustration began to build up on the Rangers bench and they began to play more aggressive. 8 minutes in Darren Langdon challenged Dan Kordic for a little battle, a battle which Kordic won on TKO.
Wayne Gretzky got a minor for hooking at 11.34 and Flyers were seeking another goal. But the Rangers defense played alot tighter and
Flyers never got a good chance to score. Janne Niinimaa ruined the
powerplay by taking 2 minutes, also for hooking. When Gretzky got
out from the penalty box he joined the powerplay and about 40 seconds later he fired a mighty slapper and Hextall failed to close his 5-hole in time and after a lot of work, the Rangers was finally on the board.

Posted Image

But this was Flyers period and they were really pounding Richter with shots trying to extend their gap again. When the period ended the Flyers led the shots with 29-25.

Posted Image

The game looked to be over when the Flyers scored their 4th of the night at 2.29. Joel Otto got a breakaway and fired a hard wrister on net which Richter deflected in to left corner. Trent Klatt took the puck and skated outside the left face-off circle and shot the puck on goal. But it never reached it's target. Instead it bounced on Brian Leetch's back out to Dainius Zubrus who didn't have any problems putting it past Richter.

A few minutes later Darren Langdon once again challenged Dan Kordic for a fight. This time Langdon was all over Kordic and won that fight clearly. That must have sparkled the Rangers as they took over the game completely. And soon enough, the pressure payed off.
Gretzky was spinning around in the Flyers zone and the defensemen couldn't reach him. He finished with a huge slapshot on goal and Hextall failed to cover his stickside and it passed him.

Posted Image

Four minutes later the Flyers got a reason to panic as the Rangers got within one when Mark Messier set up Alexander Karpovtsev for the one-timer.

Posted Image

A time-out was then called by Flyers coach Terry Murray to straighten his team up. And it got the result it wanted. Rangers failed to get even close of the net and when the Rangers pulled Mike Richter for an extra attacker Eric Desjardins could put the puck into the open net and the game was over. Almost. 8 seconds later Hextall tried to find Otto with a pass but miscommunication occured and Mark Messier showed up from nowhere and threw the puck to net and past a surprised Flyers goaltender.

Posted Image

After the face off Gretzky passed the puck to Adam Graves who advanced in the Flyers zone on the right and fired a slapshot on goal. Once again Hextall failed to cover his stickside and with a timespan of just 13 seconds the Flyers had gone from a sure win to
a possible OT loss.

Posted Image

In the overtime both teams let the defense go and pushed hard for that
game winning goal. And it was the Flyers who got it. Mikael Renberg suddenly found himself on a 2 to 1 situation with Petr Svoboda. Rangers defenseman tried to reach the puck but Renberg just got it past his stick and Svoboda finished with a quick wrister and after a lot of work the game ended 6-5.

Posted Image

After a lot of low-scoring games the Flyers really got their scoring going
on in this game. But they also allowed five and the question if they
payed the prize of scoring many goals with loosing it up on the defense?
As the defense didn't make any real mistake the answer has to be no.
The poor performance from Ron Hextall was the biggest reason for the
Flyers blowing their lead. He looked far from sharp tonight and made some easy mistakes. But with the workload he has been taking lately it might not be a big surprise. A game off and he will surely be he old self again.

 Snow earns first career shutout against Capitals

The Philadelphia Flyers didn't bring anything to this game except
perhaps a bad attitude. Luckily they had Garth Snow in the
net for the night.

Snow stopped all 22 shots he faced and got his first shutout in his career
and John Leclair had the lone goal in the game which can't be called anything but mediocre.

The game started well however. The Flyers tested Olaf KĂślzig early in the
net and the Capitals defense let the goaltender handle most of the shots.
At 06.11 Calle Johansson got called for a hooking and Flyers got the opportunity to get ahead on the scoreboard. But the powerplay was really bad and most of the penalty they had trouble even getting into the Capitals zone. But despite this, they managed to score a goal.
When both teams were changing lines Eric Desjardins passed the puck to John Leclair who simply used the wide open space on the right and went in and fired a hard slapshot between KĂślzig's legs. This was his 10th of the season.

The quality of the game declined after the goal slowly but steadily and more focus seemed to put on ticking each other off instead of trying to score a goal. There were a lot of bad mouthing and small skirmishes but the referee let the players sort it out themselves and only found a penalty on Rod Brind'Amour 14 minutes in which resulted in nothing but a single shot on goal for the Capitals.

The hard, physical play continued in the second as well. Bodies were
flying all over the ice but strangely enough, the referee were still letting
most of it go with an exception of a roughing call on Steve Konowalchuk
2 minutes into the period. 8 minutes in Eric Lindros took a hard hit from
Mark Tinordi and was slow to get up. The minute after Dan Kordic found
himself alone with Tinordi and the gloves were dropped. The fight was even but if you were keeping track on hits Tinordi was the winner of this fight. The two found themselves again 17 minutes in and once again
Tinordi was the winner of the fight. Although these two fight were entertaining, the game itself hadn't offered anything for the highlight reels and the crowd didn't seem to enjoy themselves that much.

The third period were just as ugly as the previous two. After every frozen puck there was at least one small skirmish. At 09.46 Mark Tinordi got in Garth Snow's face a little too much and the both dropped their gloves.
Eager to help his teammate, Olaf KĂślzig came from nowhere and jumped and Snow and fought hard for over a minute before Snow wrestled KĂślzig down and the linesmen separated the two.

Posted Image

At 11.16 Dan Kordic got his first minor for the season when he handled Peter Bondra a little too rough. Bondra was close of scoring on an open net but Garth Snow recovered and got a pad out to keep the puck out.
The time ran out for Capitals and the Flyers could cash in another 2-pointer.

If you look at the game overall the Flyers once again did a solid defensive performance allowing only 22 shots on goal and made
Garth Snow relief in goal relatively easy. But the offense is still
giving and taking and need more consistent numbers. What happens
if the defense suddenly starting to allowing more goals pass through?
The Flyers have so far had the margin with them but they cannot rely on
that factor all season.

THREE STARS
#1: Olaf KĂślzig, 27 saves, .967%
#2: Garth Snow, 22 saves, 100%
#3: John LeClair, 1 goal, 0 assists

 Standings Eastern Conference after 20 games played

Posted Image

Comments:
Climbing from 5th to 2nd in these past ten games is very satisfying.
I've been playing better than expected and haven't blown any big leads except for the Rangers game. Toronto has been playing well lately and
currently owns the 7th spot, 5 spots up since last time. Buffalo made quite a dip in these past 10, dropping from 4th to 9th spot. I'm still a bit confused about New Jersey. They have a great team who could go for the playoffs, yet their 12th spot is a bit disappointing.
This conference is still pretty even though and I bet once the other teams catches up with their games the standings will be alot tighter.

Standings Western Conference after 20 games played

Comments:
Colorado at 1st, Detroit at 2nd. No surprises there really. They are one of the best teams in the league and has performed as predicted.
After earning only 9 points in their first ten games Anaheim now has picked up 15 in 9 and has gone up from 8th to a 3rd position in the conference. Vancouver has dropped a bit, only 2 wins in their last 7 games. But with their great start in the beginning of the season they still stay high in the standings but will drop a bit more with the game that they've been playing lately.

<td colspan="2" align="center">A few high-scoring games helped the Flyers climb on this list a few steps. The best scoring during these 10 games was once again John LeClair, who tallied 4 goals. The rest of the scoring has been spread out throughout the rest of the team, with 11 players scoring 2 goals or more. It's a good reciept that the Flyers have good width of goalscorers in the team. It feels secure that more players can step forward and score important goals if the supposed goalscorers should hit a cold streak.</td>

<strong>Comments:</strong><br />
Rod Brind'Amour is still on top of the Flyers scoring and as shown amassed with 8 points.<br />
Eric Desjardins had a good run these ten games racking up 7 points. So did also Mikael<br />
Renberg who have woken up after being demoted to 2nd line. John LeClair led the Flyers<br />
in scoring with 4 goals but he needs to work on his defensive play. -6 is not a good number<br />
for a player of his quality. But overall the plus-minus stats has improved. In the first ten games<br />
7 players had at least -1. When you look at the stats now, they were down to just one.<br />
Most impressive in this bunch is Daniel Lacroix who makes things happen despite his limited <br />
icetime. Averaging about 6 minutes a game, he has still managed to rack up 2 assists and is<br />
+5. Dan Kordic has also been good, taking fights when needed and just in the right moment.<br />
Although he has no points he is +3 so far. <br />
<br />
If you look purely on statistics, the Flyers owns the best goaltending duo in the league right now.<br />
During these 10 past games Ron Hextall and Garth Snow allowed just 16 goals and had one<br />
shutout each. Snow's .953% and Hextall's .931%
are on no.1 and no.2 spot.<br />
<br />
Three players made their season debut during this span and Karl Dykhuis has seen most of <br />
the action and has done it well. Kevin Haller is still a healthy scratch and if he doesn't get<br />
his game together he will surely be traded. Rookie Vaclav Prospal made an interestning<br />
debut against Vancouver and will see some more icetime. <strong><br />

 Flyers tops Sharks

Philadelphia is going one way right now and that is up.

Dale Hawerchuk had a goal and a assist and Trent Klatt and John Leclair
both scored a goal as the Flyers won their 5th consecutive game.

The first few minutes however was all about San Jose. Jeff Friesen made the
Flyers defense look like traffic cones when he used his speed to get through. He fired a hard wrister on shot which Ron Hextall barely saved.
The face-off after hard-shooting defenseman Al Iafrate hit the crossbar behind Hextall and just after that Vaclav Prospal got a 2 minute minor for
interference putting some more pressure on the Flyers.
But the shorthanded unit closed the door totaly and even when the Sharks got a 5 on 3 opportunity they failed to score.
It wasn't until 18.50 when the first goal of the game was scored. And
it came from a Flyers stick. Kjell Samuelsson threw the puck out of his zone and right on to Dainius Zubrus who found Trent Klatt on the blueline. Klatt saw and opening on Chris Terreri's gloveside and put it past his left pad.
A clear mistake by the goaltender.

42 seconds later the gloves from Dan Kordic and Marty McSorley dropped and it was an even fight before the linesmen stepped in and separated the two. Although being outshot 14-10 the Flyers could walk into the dressing room with a 1-0 lead.

The second period could have got a better start for the Flyers. Todd Gill was handed a minor for holding just 33 seconds in and a minute later
Philadelphia cashed in. While being in the right corner in the Flyers zone Eric Lindros fired away a long pass to Dale Hawerchuk and was dangerously close to a 2-line offside. But Hawerchuk got it before it crossed the redline and with LeClair clearing away the traffic he made the score 2-0.

Frustrated by controlling most of the game and trailing by two the Sharks finally got up on the board. Jeff Friesen made exactly as he did in the first period but instead of shooting he passed the puck to an open Owen Nolan who shoveled it in past Ron Hextall. Petr Svoboda, who missed covering Nolan, didn't look all too happy.

In the play that followed Dan Kordic and Marty McSorley was on the ice at the same time and didn't take long until they started talking and once again the gloves were dropped. Kordic was shelled with punches from McSorley and that he even managed to stay on his feet is a mystery.
The Flyers got the opportunity to gain a more comfortable lead when Tony Granato got a minor for holding. And they did. But it didn't count.
Dainius Zubrus fired a shot from close-range which Terreri saved but dropped but kicked it away. It appeared that he made a second save but on the replay you could clearly see that the puck was in.
The Flyers wasn't aware of the goal until they saw the replay and tried
protesting but it was to no avail. Going into the dressing room for the third, the score was still 2-1.

Dan Kordic was on the bench for the third period but didn't play obviously injured by the McSorley fight. Eric Lindros was then left alone, but luckily he can hold his own and McSorley got aware of that 2 minutes in. Lindros pounded McSorley who were forced just to defend himself and landed on his back a few punches later. With the taunts from the Flyers crowd in his back he left the CoreStates Center with a game misconduct.
Game was still tight and no team had the upper-hand. The Sharks had the most pressure on them though to tie it up and with the minutes passing by they had to use their opportunities once they got it. But
a giveway by Todd Ewen in the Flyers zone spoiled their evening.
Rod Brind'Amour grabbed the puck and immediately set off a turnover. He passed the puck to Hawerchuk on the left who made a spinorama deke past Iafrate and passed it to LeClair who finished with a one-timer past an helpless Terreri in the net.

After a timeout the Sharks played more aggressively and were pushing hard to cut the lead into one. They grabbed the momentum for a while
but lost it when Todd Gill took an unnecessary interference in front of the Flyers net. If the 3-1 goal didn't ruin their evening then the penalty did. The Sharks never recovered and the Flyers could take home their 6th consecutive win.

The disciplined, tight defensive hockey that the Flyers are playing right now might not be a crowd pleaser but it sure has taken home a lot of
victories for them this season. With these low-scoring games none
of players on the Flyers roster should expect to see themselves among the league leaders in points if this continue.

Three Stars
#1: Dale Hawerchuk, 1 goal, 1 assist
#2: Trent Klatt, 1 goal, 0 assists
#3: John LeClair, 1 goal, 0 assists

One of the Flyers biggest rivals, the Pittsburgh Penguins in paying a visit.
The Penguins have won 6 straight and the trio with Mario Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr and Patrick Lalime are redhot right now and
will be one of the most interesting matchup so far in this season.

 Flyers wins over Penguins after third period comeback

For about 50 minutes the Pittsburgh Penguins were dominating the game against the Philadelphia Flyers and gave away only a handful a chances
to the hometeam. After their 3-1 goal they started to slow down the tempo.
That wasn't their best move.

Eric Lindros had the game-tying goal and Eric Desjardins scored in OT
to comeback from a 3-1 deficit and turn it into a 4-3 win against their
Atlantic Division rival.

Superstar Mario Lemieux and his fellow linemate Jaromir Jagr were
going for the goal directly after face-off. Flyers defense had an eye
on them though and made it hard for them to create anything.
Second-line with Ron Francis and Joe Mullen were also pushing hard
for the goal and gave the Flyers some real trouble. But it looked like
it was the Flyers who were going to get the first goal. 8 minutes in the
4th line with Kordic, Lacroix and Prospal had a good run in the Penguins
zone and forced goaltender Tom Barrasso to make some difficult saves.
But Penguins eventually got the first goal. Petr Nedved got the puck in the right corner in the Flyers zone and fed it quickly to Ian Moran. Moran passed it to Craig Muni who took a few steps and were looking to shoot but instead he passed it to a now open Nedved in front of the net and with a quick wrister he put it past Ron Hextall.

The Penguins fueled from that goal and put some hard pressure on the Flyers, who were forced to retreat and were unable to create anything offensively in this period. And to make things worse for the second period
Joel Otto got an unnecessary minor for hooking with just one second left.

The Flyers managed to kill the penalty however but were still under a lot of pressure. Every time the Penguins were inside the Flyers zone you got a little ache in your stomach and were expecting a goal any second. But the Flyers held the score at 1-0. Almost 11 minutes in Dan Kordic and Alek Stojanov dropped their gloves. And it was a one-sided fight.
Stojanov didn't stand a chance and were on the ice after Kordic landed some huge punches on him.

Strengthen by this fight, the Flyers continued to defend themselves as they tried to establish something worth calling offense. And in the last two minutes of the period they actually had the Penguins down in their own zone and a shot from Mikael Renberg almost passed the goal-line but Barrasso grabbed it before it could do that. But Renberg would get his goal eventually.

Pat Falloon used a mistake by the Penguins defense and could get the puck to Renberg in front of the net who made no mistakes putting it past Barrasso.

But the tied up game wouldn't last long. Eric Lindros had the puck in his own but was forechecked hard by the Penguins and instead of clearing it out of the zone he tried to play and lost it in the process. Nedved fed it to Stojanov who passed it to Joe Dziezic who put it between Hextall's legs.

Another bad play by the Flyers 4 minutes later looked to close the game.
Once again the Penguins were forechecking hard and the Flyers once again tried to play it out of the zone rather than just dumping it. Svoboda tried, got stopped, Desjardins tried, got stopped and Brind'Amour tried and he got stopped. Glen Murray was the one who stopped the last attempt and fired it quickly on goal. Hextall looked surprised to even get a shot on goal but managed to stop it only to let the rebound out to Joe Mullen who put it up topshelf.

Posted Image

It looked to be over. But a hooking call on Kevin Hatcher 14 minutes in gave the Flyers some hope. Dainius Zubrus won a face-off in the right circle in the Penguins zone and the puck went out to Petr Svoboda. Svoboda were looking for a chance to shoot but passed it back to Zubrus who fired a quick wrister. It looked like an easy puck for Barrasso to stop but it found it's way in just past the goaltender's right leg.

The minutes were ticking away and Flyers were pushing hard for a tying goal going on an all out attack. With a little than a minute to go Hextall was pulled and Eric Lindros jumped out on the ice. Pat Falloon headed into the corner trying to find Mikael Renberg in front of the net and he did with a sweet pass. But Barrasso extended all of his 6'3" and caught the puck with his torso. He didn't manage to hold it though and Renberg got the puck and quickly skated behind the net and found Lindros at the first post and he could tap the puck into an almost open net. The goal was scored with 7 seconds to go...

The OT was completely owned by the Flyers. They looked hungry for the win and gave the Penguins nothing to work with. 51 seconds in Kevin Hatcher was handed a 2 minute minor for elbowing John LeClair forcing him out of the game. The Flyers were close on scoring several times during the powerplay but the Penguins shorthanded unit cleared the puck out of the zone over and over again. Just as the penalty ended they cleared it once again. Desjardins picked it out on center ice, turned around and skated towards the center of the blueline and fired a hard slapshot which went by Barrassos gloveside. The crowd got wild and of course the Flyers also. It was an end of a great game and a great comeback.

Despite being under heavy pressure most of the game the Flyers managed to hold the team together and didn't succumb from it.
The two mistakes of trying to play the puck out of the zone rather than clearing can be explained simply by that the Flyers are indeed an offensive team who's trying to score whenever they get the chance.
But it really about picking their opportunities and they failed to do so
on those plays.
