 Kordic shines in Flyers win

When something is written about Dan Kordic words like
"fights" and "enforcer" are often used. Now his critics
might want to add "sparkplug".

Kordic had his first assist and point of the season and
made a huge effort both offensively and defensively and
sparkled the Flyers to get the win over St.Louis Blues.

What started as a very low-pace game quickly turned into a
one-sided game when the Flyers got their offensive going.
The Blues didn't respond at all, leaving their goaltender Grant
Fuhr all alone at times. But the veteran of 17 seasons played
extremely well and made several great saves to keep the game
at 0. But eventually, he was forced to capitulate.
A dumped puck by Mikael Renberg landed in the left corner of the
Blues zone and Lindros was there to pick it up. He turned around, deked past Al MacInnis and with a backhand he put the puck past Fuhr.

Shortly after the goal, Igor Kravchuk took a minor for roughing
and the Flyers used their powerplay to increase their lead.
Dale Hawerchuk went in for a shot which Fuhr deflected into the right corner. Al MacInnis picked it up but Hawerchuk stole it back and skated behind the net and with a quick pass he found Mikael Renberg in front of the net and Fuhr had no chance of stopping it.

The referee then found two Blues penalties and one Flyers penalty in less than 2 minutes, slowing the game down a bit. It didn't stop the Flyers from getting their 3rd goal of the game though.
Dainius Zubrus threw the puck out of Flyers zone and landed on Trent Klatt's stick. With some nifty moves he made his way into the Blues zone and fired a slapshot which hit the left post but bounced right back to him and an out of positioned Fuhr couldn't reach for the rebound.

With 8 seconds left, Tony Twist got a minor for roughing leaving the Flyers with an opportunity to score their 4th early in the second.
When the period ended, the Flyers had dominated much of it, leading 3-0 and outshooting the Blues 20-3!

The first 5 of the second included three penalties, two for the Flyers and one of the Blues. But the Flyers couldn't solve Fuhr and the Blues couldn't even solve how to get into the Flyers zone. The Flyers continued to pound Fuhr with shots, who despite the workload still played well.
But he was unable to stop a rocket from Dale Hawerchuk. Samuelsson fed a puck to Dan Kordic on the right side, who got away a shot on goal. The rebound was picked up by Libor Zabransky, but with an aggressive play Kordic took it past, turned around and passed the puck to an open Dale Hawerchuk at the left face-off circle. With a hard one-timer, the puck went over Fuhr shoulder and into the net.

Kordic got more ice-time after that and were working crazy. 17 minutes in, he almost got his first goal of the season when he got through the whole defense and had an open net but put the puck into the left post.
Still dominating, the Flyers were up by 4 and led the shots 33-8.

Posted Image

The Blues did eventually get into the game as well. Brett Hull didn't have his best night of the season, with a -2 record for the game but showed that he has potential when he wants to. A mighty slapshot from the blueline almost beat Ron Hextall, when he couldn't hold on to the puck but recovered, a bit shaken up though, to make the save.
Dan Kordic got another chance to score his first goal of the season on a breakaway. He tried to trick Fuhr going to the right leaving the left side open, but Fuhr somehow made it back and the puck hit his chest.

The Flyers had two powerplay opportunies but failed to score on both of them. They had pretty much gone home from work early. No more goal were scored in this period and when he horn sounded the Flyers had beat the Blues 4-0 and won the shots 48-13.

This was perhaps the Flyers best game of the season. First, getting
48 shots on goal and at the same time only allowing 13 is just
pure dominance. And although 13 shots is not that much, Ron Hextall
was there to stop them all, including that hard slapshot from Brett Hull.
But the biggest star as said before was Dan Kordic. Strangely avoiding
a fight with rival enforcer Tony Twist he contributed a lot at both ends of the ice. Maybe it's time for coach Terry Murray to use Kordic for more than just fighting.

THREE STARS
#1: Mikael Renberg, 1 goal, 2 assists
#2: Dale Hawerchuk, 1 goal, 1 assist
#3: Ron Hextall, 13 saves, 100%

NEXT GAME:
The Flyers will travel to the Windy City for their last game in 1996.
There of course, the Chicago Blackhawks awaits. Going 7-3-0-0 in their last ten and with two straight victories behind them, the Blackhawks will
be hard to stop. But starter Ed Belfour is fatigued and backup Jeff Hackett is probably stepping in between the pipes.
He has only played in 5 games so far going 1-3 but he has a 2.13 GAA and a 88.6% save percentage which is more than one percent better than Belfour.

 BlackHawks downs Flyers

Jeff Hackett sure got the most out of one his rare starts.

Hackett made 33 saves and were named the first star at the
United Center as the Chicago BlackHawks took a big win
over the Philadelphia Flyers.

The first period was scoreless but wasn't eventless. The first
ten minutes of the game was fairly even but the Flyers
captured the momentum with two straight BlackHawks penalites
only thirteen seconds apart. Despite creating a lot of chances,
the BlackHawks defense and goaltender Jeff Hackett made sure
that no goals were scored. Bob Probert and Dan Kordic were talking
whenever they bumped into each other and with 27 seconds left
of the period they dropped their gloves. The home-fans were
expecting a KO by Probert but it was in fact Kordic who got the
last punch.

Posted Image

The Flyers won the shots 14-6 and were looking as the strongest
team going into the second period.

And they did in fact get the first goal. Eric Desjardins robbed Ethan Moreau of the puck with a great body check and passed it to Rod Brind'Amour at center ice. He passed it to Pat Falloon on the left
who deked past two Chicago players and fired away a wristshot which
hit the crossbar but bounced of Hackett's back and into the goal.

The Flyers were looking closer to score 2-0 than the BlackHawks getting the tie but the home-team closed their defense and the Flyers had a hard time getting through. In fact, when Gary Suter was in the penalty box for hooking the Flyers didn't get a single shot on goal.
After the penalty ended Zhamnov cleared the puck out of the zone. Cam Russel picked it up and advanced into the Flyers zone and dropped it to Gary Suter. Suter finished with wristshot which deflected of the crossbar and into the net.

Posted Image

Posted Image

A little over a minute later Kjell Samuelsson was handed a minor for holding. 16 seconds later Rod Brind'Amour got 2 for hooking.
And it took only a couple of seconds for Chicago to convert. After the faceoff Zhamnov won it out to Sergei Krivokrasov who fired a shot on goal. Eric Desjardins blocked the shot and suddenly there was a pile of players over the puck. Eventually, Eric Daze got the hands of it and fired the puck at the net. It hit Krivokrasov and he managed to get the puck with him and an out of positioned Ron Hextall could only watch as he put it into the net.

Posted Image

The following face-off was won by Chicago and Weinrich quickly advanced with the puck into the Flyers zone. He passed it to Jeff Shantz who, with a little trouble, got past Petr Svoboda and threw it at the net were Tony Amonte could completely open score the 3-1 goal. In the span of less than 2 minutes, the BlackHawks had gone from trailing 1-0 to leading 3-1. It was an amazing performance by them and the Flyers really had to do something special to turn this around in the third.

But a big mistake by Ron Hextall destroyed whatever their chances were of catching up. Sergei Krivokrasov fired a shot from the left side and Ron Hextall caught it with his glove. When he put the puck into play he accidently passed the puck to Ethan Moreau who quickly fired a shot on goal. Hextall saved it but left a rebound and Moreau lifted it in past him.

Posted Image

Posted Image

Chicago pretty much owned the rest of the period, leaving the Flyers little to create anything on. But the same Moreau who scored the 4-1 made sure that the Flyers got a chance to score 4-2. And so they did.
After a face-off won by Dainius Zubrus the puck went out to Rod Brind'Amour. He skated around the zone looking for someone to pass
and found Petr Svoboda on the blueline. Svoboda fired away a slapshot
and a screening by Zubrus left Hackett helpless and it went past his gloveside.

Posted Image

Posted Image

But the Flyers didn't get closer than that. But they sure got a little boost
of confidence to the next game thanks to Dan Kordic who once again
KO:ed Bob Probert.

Posted Image

The Flyers didn't really play a bad game at all. Sure, the shorthanded
unit didn't have a great day out there but as said before they are struggling. The powerplay on the other hand were both giving and taking,
creating some chances and sometimes just throwing the puck at the net hoping for it to get in. Ron Hextall's lone mistake will soon be forgotten and with the play he has shown lately his confidence is probably high.
But once again Dan Kordic performed extremely well despite limited ice-time. He should be rewarded with more.

NEXT GAME:
As incorrectly said before, the Flyers has one game left to play in 1996.
Their 2nd stop at their 6 game roadtrip will be at Edmonton.
An injury-riddled Oilers (7 players out) and a fatigued Curtis Joseph
will perhaps give the Flyers 2 free points. But on the other hand, the Oilers has played good and goaltender Bob Essensa has played well
the few starts he's got this season.

 Flyers D-men earns OT-win over Oilers

Eric Desjardins, Petr Svoboda and Chris Therien each scored a goal
as the Flyers made a comeback from a 2-0 deficit and turned it into a 3-2 win in overtime.

Knowing that they were facing a great goaltender in Bob Essensa, the Flyers were going for an early goal hoping to get into his head. But Essensa opened very well and kept the score at 0. Otherwise it was an evenly
played period with not a lot of action. However, one goal was scored.
At a faceoff in the Flyers zone, Doug Weight won it out to Dan McGillis
who fired a shot on goal. Hextall made the save but left a rebound which
Mariusz Czerkawski got a stick on but the goaltender deflected it into
the left corner. Lindros tried to pick it up but Czerkawski stole it
and passed it on to Doug Weight, who quickly advanced behind the net
and found Ryan Smyth all alone and he made no mistake and put it past Hextall's glove.

As the goal was scored with only one minute left at the period, the Flyers
had little time to tie things up before the break. The third line with Pat Falloon, Joel Otto and Dan Kordic had a great chance in the final seconds but Essensa were looking like he was going to be beaten easy tonight and Edmonton went into the dressing room with the lead.

And the lead grew to 2 early in the second. Janne Niinimaa got 2 for elbowing and a minute later the puck was in the net. Mike Grier dumped the puck into the zone and Rem Murray got to it and went in for the shot. Hextall left a rebound and the Flyers tried to clear it out but Luke Richardson got to it first and fired a shot. Hextall left another rebound out to Todd Marchant. He passed it on to Grier who managed to get Renberg off his back just so he could pass it to Todd Marchant, who had positioned himself in front of the net. Petr Svoboda tried push him away but Marchant got a shot away before that and Hextall couldn't reach it.

A minute later Kjell Samuelsson got 2 for elbowing and the Oilers was only inches away from getting the 3-0 goal as Boris Mironov unloaded a heavy shot at the net but the right post saved Hextall there.
Oilers Greg De Vries got 2 for hooking at 06:40 into the period but sadly
the Flyers didn't get the powerplay going to score a goal.
Almost halfway into the period Dan Kordic and Luke Richardson dropped their gloves. And Kordic came out as the winner in that fight.
It sure gave the Flyers a sparkle. at 10:51 Jeff Norton was handed a minor for hooking. The powerplay unit was playing better now and created some pressure on Essensa. The Oilers managed to clear the puck out of the zone at one point though. It was picked up by Janne Niinimaa who found Dale Hawerchuk at centerice. He skated into the Oilers zone and fired away a shot which Essensa deflected into the left corner. Hawerchuk fought his away to the puck and turned around and
passed the puck to Eric Desjardins at the blueline. He fired away a one-timer and screened by his own defense, the puck went past Essensa.

Posted Image

A few minutes later, the Flyers got a chance on the powerplay once again.
And they only needed 3 seconds to convert on it. At a faceoff right to Essensa, Dainius Zubrus won the puck out to Petr Svoboda who took a few steps in a fired a slapshot past Essensas glove.

Posted Image

The last 5 minute was somewhat dominated by the Flyers and they really made Essensa work. No more goals was scored though in the period and
the score was tied at 2. And although the Flyers had the momentum in the closing minutes, it still felt like anyone's game.

The third period had no goals or penalites but still had it's moments.
A barrage by the Flyers on Bob Essensa was perhaps the best moment.
On a span of just 2 minutes, the goaltender stopped 7 shots during that period, including a diving save on a slapper from Rod Brind'Amour at close range.

Posted Image

The game was heading for overtime. And there the Flyers came out at the winning end.

Directly after faceoff, the Flyers advanced into the Oilers zone. Lindros went a loose wrister go away against the net and Essensa easily deflected it into the right corner. Luke Richardson barely got to the
puck as he was checked hard by Kjell Samuelsson. Samuelsson found Lindros who fired away another shot on goal and Essensa once again deflected it into the right corner. Lindros picked the puck up, passed it to Chris Therien who fired away a shot on goal. It went past Essensa, hit the right post and went into the net ending the game.

Character is the word to sum this game up for the Flyers. Trailing by 2, they once again pulled themselves together and didn't gave up.
You can't deny that the Flyers are high on morale right now and being the best team in the NHL right now who can blame them? But it's at this
point it is very important to not lose focus and underestimate any opponent. No win should be taken for granted in this game.

THREE STARS:
#1: Chris Therien, 1 goal, 0 assists
#2: Ron Hextall, 23 saves, .920%
#3: Todd Marchant, 1 goal, 0 assists

NEXT GAME:
The roadtrip continues as the Flyers are going to Calgary to face the Flames. Currently at the 11th and next to last place in the Western Conference, the struggling Flames are hoping to improve to 5-5-0-0 .
But, with the offensive not producing right now and also facing the team with the lowest goal against average in the league, they are in for a hard one.

 Hextall near perfect in win

A sloppy pass ruined his shutout bid but otherwise, Ron Hextall
did a great game.

He stopped 34 shots, including several hard shots from point blank as the
Flyers won 3-1 against the Calgary Flames.

The first period didn't offer anything worth showing on the highlight reels.
The Flames had most of the chances though. Jarome Iginla had a breakaway 6 minutes in but Hextall made an excellent pad save to keep it out. Todd Hlusko hit the post a couple of minutes later on a shot from the blueline. Flyers were playing very defensively and barely tested Trevor Kidd in the first period. With 55 seconds to go the referee handed Eric Lindros a very doubtful hooking call. Sometimes it feels like he gets these penalties for being who he is. But Calgary couldn't create anything on the powerplay
this period and had a minute five seconds in the next period to sort it out.

But they didn't. Hextall was there to turn down all of the scoring attempts
that the Flames created. 13 minutes into the period Mikael Renberg got 2 for interference but it was the same story there. At the 17 minute mark Paul Kruse got 2 for hooking. The faceoff was held in the Flames zone and Brind'Amour won it directly out to Petr Svoboda who fired a slapshot at the net. Trevor Kidd made the first save but the rebound bounced on Cory Stillman's stick and into the net.

Having in mind that Calgary have had most of the scoring chances, the goal might seem a little bit injustice but that's the way hockey is sometimes. At 18.29 Todd Simpson and Dan Kordic squared off. Simpson
got the worst out of is and was laying on ice within seconds.

The pace in the last minute was pretty intense with Calgary trying to make it a tie going into the third. But Hextall and the Flyers kept it
out and the period ended with the score 1-0.

Flyers kept on with their defensively play in the third and got the Flames to work very hard for a tying goal. Seemingly strange since only up by one goal but the tactic of wearing them down worked. Todd Simpson tried to fire his team up again by challenging Dan Kordic once more.
He did better this time but both combatants stayed on their feet.
At the 14 minute mark the Flyers got a crucial goal when Eric Lindros
stole a pass and went past Mike Sullivan. All alone with Trevor Kidd he deked to the left and with a backhand he found an open 5-hole.

The Flames were desperately going for a goal and with the minutes going by the time was short. 18 minutes in they lost a puck at center ice and Eric Desjardins got to the puck, passed it to Pat Falloon who directly passed it on to Mikael Renberg. Renberg got in to the zone, fired a shot which Kidd deflected into the right corner. Renberg picked it up, skated
around the right faceoff circle and fired a slapshot which went past Kidd's stickside.

Posted Image

That goal pretty much sealed the deal. The Flames got their goal though.
After catching the puck with his glove, Ron Hextall tried to put it into action again. But he made a huge mistake when he didn't see Theo Fleury coming and the 5"6' forward had no problem putting it into the open net.

Posted Image

There's no doubt that Ron Hextall is the best goaltender in the NHL
right now. Not only does he lead the NHL with 20 victories but he
leads the NHL in Save%, GAA, Shutouts and shots faced.
But you cannot stare yourself blind at statistics. Hextall provides a
calmness to the team and gives them confidence that if they
screw up, he will be there to save them.

THREE STARS
#1: Ron Hextall, 34 saves, 91%
#2: Eric Lindros, 1 goal, 0 assists
#3: Mikael Renberg, 1 goal, 0 assists

NEXT GAME:
Flyers next stop on the roadtrip is Vancouver. The Canucks are currently at 1st in the Western Conference and will seek revenge for the 1-7 loss the last time these to teams met. Going 5-2-1-1 in their last ten and with both goaltenders playing well right now, this will be a tough one.

 Hextall blanks Canucks

He didn't have to make a great effort to keep the Canucks
off the scoreboard but a shutout is a shutout no matter what.

Ron Hextall just had to 18 saves to get his 4th shutout for
the season and Eric Lindros scored the game-winning goal
as the Flyers won the battle of the conference leaders against
the Vancouver Canucks 2-0.

The first period didn't contain any goals and both teams had
problems with their offensive play. It was not that they didn't
had any chances, but they failed to create anything of them.
Both teams shared a penalty. Dan Kordic got one of his rare
2 minute minor penalties but the Flyers had no problems of
defending themselves while being shorthanded. While Kordic
still was in the penalty box Mike Sillinger got 2 for holding.
But as the Flyers went on the powerplay the story was the same
there. Some good chances but no goal. Canucks Mike Ridley
got 2 for hooking with 12 seconds to go leaving the Flyers
with an opportunity to get an early goal in the next period.

But a pretty stupid cross checking by Dainius Zubrus ended
their powerplay. Luckily for Zubrus, Alexander Mogilny got
2 minutes for interference just 19 seconds later. These two
penalties got the teams going much to the enjoyment of the crowd.
at 04.26 Eric Lindros was handed a minor for cross checking and
here the Canucks created the best chance of the game so far.
Trevor Linden got through the entire Flyers defense and fired a shot
that Hextall wasn't really prepared for. Out of balance, he left a rebound
out to Esa Tikkanen who had an open net but missed by a mile.
The first goal came 16 minutes into the period. A face-off at center ice
was won by Eric Lindros and he just advanced into the Canucks zone
and fired away a shot. Kirk McLean misjudged the shot lifting his shoulder to save it. But instead it went under his armpit and into the net.

McLean, who had played excellent until that shot, didn't look all too happy with that allowed goal. But it felt like it was a shot like this who
would settle this game as both teams offensive struggled the whole night.

The Flyers had most of the momentum in the third, much thanks to 2 penalties on Mike Ridley and Esa Tikkanen. Although no goals was scored on these powerplay opportunities, it killed some time on the clock
for the Canucks to tie the game on and also boosted the Flyers confidence a bit. But they would not score any more goals on Kirk McLean. It looked like he grew a couple of inches out here as he
made save after save. The best save of the game came 14 minutes in as Rod Brind'Amour fed a puck to an open Janne Niinimaa in front of the net. Kirk McLean solved that situation with a great two-pad save.

Posted Image

With 47 seconds left on the clock, the Canucks pulled McLean for an extra attacker. But in that moment Dale Hawerchuk made a turnover
and found the empty net with a wristshot making the final score 2-0.

Making up for that blunder two night ago Ron Hextall got his 4th
shutout for the season. But he should really thank his defense for
this one. Sure, the Canucks offense wasn't at their best tonight
but only allowing 18 shots on goal is still pretty good. Chris Therien
had his best night in a long time and stopped many potential
scoring attempts.

THREE STARS
#1: Kirk McLean, 27 saves, .960%
#2: Eric Lindros, 1 goal, 0 assists
#3: Ron Hextall, 18 saves, 100%

NEXT GAME:
The Flyers will travel to the west coast to face the San Jose Sharks.
After losing 4 straight games, the Sharks has won 5 out of 6 games
and are looking good at the moment. An interesting matchup to say
the least.

 Flyers earns 2nd straight shutout

Ron Hextall got the night off for his excellent performance
two nights before. Garth Snow went in between the pipes
and picked up where Hextall had left.

Snow made 25 saves to earn his 2nd shutout of the season
and Rod Brind'Amour had a goal and 2 assists as the Flyers
blanked the San Jose Sharks 4-0.

The first period was time to time really well played by both teams.
But sadly, the first 10 minutes was ruined by some penalties.
Not because of the players but because of the referee who was
a little too hard in his judgement.
A penalty on Bernie Nichols ended with a goal for the Flyers.
Joel Otto advanced from his own zone on the right and found
Rod Brind'Amour at center ice. He went into the zone and let
Otto skate past him before he passed the puck to him. Otto
finished with a quick wristshot that went past Terreri's stickside.

As said before, the period was well played by both game. There
were not many shots though, 9-6 in favor of the Flyers, but that
wasn't because of an ineffective offensive but a very effective
defense.

The referee let more things go into the second and he made the
right choice there as the game was very clean in general. The exception
was when Todd Ewen and Dan Kordic dropped their gloves 6 seconds from the 10 minute mark. Ewen didn't stand a chance against Kordic,
who landed several punches before he went down on the ice.
Less than a minute later, Tim Hunter got 2 minutes for hooking.
The Flyers needed less than a minute to use this advantage.
While picking up a dumped puck in his own zone, Kjell Samuelsson
had to fend off Steve Guolla before advancing. He found Rod Brind'Amour on the right who passed the puck to Eric Lindros.
Lindros just went into the zone and fired a cannon who Chris
Terreri didn't had a chance of taking.

Posted Image

In a span of five minutes, the referee found 3 penalties and did
time he wasn't to harsh. The Flyers and the Sharks killed a penalty
each but on the next penalty a goal would be scored. By the Flyers.
At a faceoff in the Flyers, the Sharks won it but thanks to some great forechecking by Mikael Renberg, the Flyers created a turnover.
He advanced into the Sharks zone at the left and fired a shot which Terreri deflected into the right corner. Renberg got to it first and went in for another shot. Terreri left a rebound and before he could recover to
save that one Rod Brind'Amour had already put the puck into the net.

Although playing very well, the Sharks just wasn't lucky tonight and
when trailing 3-0 against one of the best defensive teams in the league
things weren't looking all too bright when going into the third period.

But they didn't give up. The Sharks created a lot of good scoring chances but thanks to some great goaltending from Garth Snow and with a little bit of luck the Flyers didn't allow any goal in this period either.
The Flyers on the other hand got one for free when Chris Terreri made
a huge mistake when he tried to put the puck into play. Instead of passing the puck to one of his own, he landed the puck right on Dale Hawerchuk's stick and with a backhand he put it into the net.

With less than five minutes to go and with the game lost already,
the coach pulled Chris Terreri for Wade Flaherty, probably just to
show that he wasn't all too happy with his starting goaltender's
performance.

Allowing no goal in two games is nothing but a great effort and
boosts the Flyers confidence a little bit more. As their next
opponent is the Colorado Avalance, currently at 1st place in
the western conference, the Flyers need all confidence they
can get.

 Standings Eastern Conference after 40 games played

Posted Image

Comments:
These past ten games has been the best this season.
I have gone 9-1-0-0 and has outscored my opponents 34-13!
I'm already starting to smell the playoffs. But since I'm playing
NHL04 I'm not going to take anything out in advance.
The Rangers are still right behind me separated as seen with only
games played. My biggest fear is to face them in the playoffs.
Top six is otherwise unchanged but Boston has suddenly placed themselves
in the top eight. By the looks of the scoreboards, Bill Ranford has been
the biggest reason for this. Hartford, who played well early in the season,
is continuing to go down further the standings. But the biggest negative
surprise is perhaps Buffalo, who only won 3 out of their last 10.

Standings Western Conference after 40 games played

Comments:
Colorado is the new leader in the conference and much thanks to their offense, piling up 27 goals in the past ten games. Behind them are 5 teams in the span of just 5 points. Chicago and St.Louis are still going
strong and aren't showing any signs of wear just yet. Los Angeles is down at the botton once again. After going 4-4-2-1 in their previous ten games they went 2-6-2-0 in these past ten games. Things aren't looking well in California...

Comments:
After a bit of a slump the last time, Ron Brind'Amour really was on his game and for the first time this season one player tallied more than one point per game. Also, everyone who is supposed to produce (Lindros, Hawerchuk, Renberg, Zubrus) did so although Zubrus hit a bit of a slump in the past few games. Defense racked up a total of 20 points in these past ten which is considered to be quite good. The plus minus stats are
going up again. Only 3 players landed on -1 or more and a total of 15 players landed on +2 or more.

On the goaltenders side Ron Hextall got 7 of the games and Garth Snow
got 3. How it went you can see above. Both almost landed on 1.30 GAA which no goaltender in any other team came close to.
We have half a season to go but Hextall already feels like a sure candidate for the Vezina Trophy come June.

 Avs wins West vs. East battle

The Flyers had all their eyes on Forsberg and managed to
keep him from getting a single point. But they forgot about Joe Sakic
and Claude Lemieux.

Lemieux had two goals and an assist and Sakic had a goal and two
assists as the Colorado Avalanche beat the Philadelphia Flyers 5-3.

Flyers got up early on the scoreboard when on the powerplay.
At a faceoff to the left of Roy, Janne Niinimaa fired a shot on goal which
hit Renberg. Renberg managed to get control of the puck and got a shot on goal. Roy left a rebound which bounced off Mike Keane and Curtis Leschyshyn before John LeClair could poke it in past the netminder.

Posted Image

A little over a minute later, the referee found a penalty on Brent Severyn
and despite a good powerplay the Flyers failed to score. 7 minutes into the period, the Flyers found themselves in a 3 on 5 situation as Eric Lindros
and Eric Desjardins each were given a 2 minute minor penalty only 11 seconds apart. But the shorthanded unit held the Avalanche scoreless.
Eric Lindros got his second penalty of the game at 17:38 but it quickly
became a 4 on 4 as Valeri Kamensky got 2 for hooking. Just after Lindros got out of the penalty box Aaron Miller got into the Flyers zone and fired a shot on goal. Hextall deflected it into the right corner and there to pick it up was Jon Klemm. He passed it to Miller in front of the net who with some grinding managed to put the puck past Hextall's legs and into the net.

Posted Image

To sum up the first: it was very close between the teams but the Flyers were the better team. Thanks to the late goal though the Avs had a small amount of momentum going into the second.

And from the beginning of the period, Colorado created some huge pressure on the Flyers, increasing the pace. The Flyers didn't follow
and were handed two penalties in just 13 seconds. This time, the Flyers
failed to defend themselves. In a messed up situation in front of the net, Eric Desjardins lost the puck and Claude Lemieux picked it up.
Already on his knees, Hextall was out of balance and couldn't reach for the puck as Lemieux lifted it in.

Posted Image

The same Lemieux was however the reason for Flyers tying the game.
At 04:06 he got 2 for hooking and the Flyers needed just under a minute to convert. Petr Svoboda skated from his own from the right
and found Dan Lacroix on the left. Lacroix went into the zone and fired a shot just after blueline. It wasn't a hard shot to stop but Roy couldn't contain it and Petr Svoboda was there for the rebound and found an opening under his left arm.

Posted Image

But Colorado was on the prowl. They got a relentless offense going and
the Flyers couldn't do anything but try to defend themselves. Hextall
made some great saves including a huge glovesave on a one-timer at closerange.
Posted Image

But Colorado would get ahead eventually. At 14:52 Dan Lacroix got 2 for tripping. He needed to sit just 2 seconds before Colorado could score.
Sakic won a faceoff to the left of Hextall and dropped it to Adam Foote who quickly set Sakic up for a one-timer. Hextall never saw it coming.


Posted Image

But the Flyers quickly responded. At the following faceoff Eric Lindros won the puck out to Eric Desjardins who passed it on to John LeClair. LeClair took a few strides into the Avs zone and fired away a mighty slapshot which Roy never had a chance of taking.

Posted Image

The remaining minutes of the period was even and most important entertaining. But overall Colorado was playing better.

Both teams refined their play in the last period seeking for the go ahead goal. The quality was far better than most games this season and was
a crowd pleaser to say the least. Ten minutes in the goal finally came.
Joe Sakic won a struggle against Kjell Samuellson in the left corner of the Flyers zone. Right next to him was Sandis Ozolinsh who saw a completely open Claude Lemieux in front of the net. With a quick pass
he found his blade and Lemieux ended with a nice one-timer. A huge mistake by the Flyers defense.

Posted Image

Not even 2 minutes later Colorado scored another goal. And this was real beaut. Sakic advanced into the Flyers zone on the right and just stopped for a few seconds seeking someone to pass. He saw Adam Foote getting some space in front of the net and in a split second the pass was away and with a one-timer Foote made it 5-3.

Posted Image

The Flyers tried to get back into the game again but was constantly pushed down to their own zone. They were a beaten team.

Hats off to the Avs as they ended a great winning streak with a great
game played. They stressed the Flyers into taking penalties and used
their weakness at the penalty kill. Not only did they play a great tactical
game but also got the most out of their players. This loss was a great
reality check for the Flyers as it shows that they aren't in fact that hard
to beat when the right tactic is used against them.

THREE STARS
#1: Claude Lemieux, 2 goals, 1 assist
#2: Joe Sakic, 1 goal, 2 assists
#3: John LeClair, 2 goals, 0 assists

NEXT GAME:
Ending their roadtrip with a 4-2-0-0 record, the Flyers are going home to
Philadelphia to face the Boston Bruins. Losing the first and with some problems winning the second game against them, it sure will not be an easy game for the Flyers. Biting the dust against the Avalanche might rocked their confidence a bit and it could hurt them in this game as well.

 Hextall shutouts Bruins

It seems like everytime Ron Hextall plays a bad game
he makes it up by playing greater than ever in the
game that comes.

Hextall stopped all 30 shots he faced for his 5th shutout of the
season and Rod Brind'Amour scored the game-winning goal
as the Flyers beat the Bruins 2-0.

The Bruins owned most of the play in the first period, much thanks to
the penalties that the Flyers got. Almost 4 minutes in, Dan Kordic got
2 for Hooking and the Bruins displayed a fine powerplay but failed
to score. At the 9 minute mark Dan Kordic once again found himself
going to the penalty box, this time for roughing. But this time
the Bruins didn't fare well. The Flyers shorthanded unit led by Rod
Brind'Amour forechecked them all the way down to their own zone
and with some struggle in the left corner Brind'Amour got the puck out
to Mikael Renberg. Renberg skated behind the net and passed it
back to Brind'Amour who had placed himself in front of Bill Ranford.
With a quick one-timer he fired the puck away and Ranford almost
got to it but it went into the net.

4 minutes later the last goal of the game was scored. Chris Therien
picked up a puck in his own zone and passed it to Dan Kordic. Before he skated to the bench, he passed it on to Trent Klatt who once again showed his talents with the puck, deking past two players before he fired
away a huge slapshot which went in to the left of Ranford.

A little over 30 seconds later Kjell Samuelsson was handed a minor for obstruction hooking. And here the post saved Ron Hextall from allowing
his first goal of the game. The period ended with another Flyers penalty, this time on Trent Klatt. The shots were 17-8 in favor of the Bruins but
so far they had been quite ineffective.

At 01:14 into the seconds, the first fight broke out. But it wasn't Dan Kordic who were going up for a scrap, it was Eric Lindros. He did well
as he floored Troy Malette within seconds.
Ray Bourque was shortly after penalized for hooking but the Flyers failed
to convert. The Bruins got a chance on the powerplay after 5 minutes when Kevin Haller got called for roughing. But the story continued for
the Bruins here. They created some good quality chances but didn't
score. But it wasn't only their ineffectiveness that kept them from
scoring. Ron Hextall gave them a hard time as well.
But Bill Ranford in the other end of the ice also gave the Flyers a hard time to score. On a powerplay, Dale Hawerchuk had an open net as Ranford was lying flat on the ice. But from nowhere, the goaltender
recovered to make an amazing glove save. Hawerchuk was stunned.
11 seconds before the period ended Rick Tocchet and Dan Kordic squared off. Tocchet had no problems with Kordic who saw himself
going into the ice. To add a little insult to injury, Janne Niinimaa already
had a penalty waiting for him and the Flyers had to begin the third being shorthanded.

But as said before, the Bruins were ineffective. This time they didn't even get a shot on goal. The third period was a rather dull story.
The Flyers focused on defending the possible shutout and with the
ineffective Bruins offensive it wasn't that hard. The crowd did get to
see one more fight as Eric Lindros took on Troy Malette once again.
And the result was the same here. Lights, curtain, out.

THREE STARS
#1: Ron Hextall, 30 saves, 100%
#2: Bill Ranford, 29 saves, .935%
#3: Ron Brind'Amour, 1 goal, 0 assists

 Flyers downs Lightning big-time

In a game where referee Dan McCourt basically found a penalty
on every single tug out there you wouldn't expect it to
be high-scoring at all. But somehow it became the opposite.

Eric Lindros tallied a hattrick and added two assists, John LeClair had three assists and Garth Snow earned his 3rd shutout of the season as the
Philadelphia Flyers ran over the Tampa Bay Lightning, winning 7-0.

Even though the first three penalties belonged to the Lightning,
they were nothing but really bad calls. The two Flyers penalties after
that were also a bit harsh, at least if you ask the one who's writing
this. When the period hit the 15 minute mark the referee had found
no less than seven penalties. After failing to score on their previous
four attempts, the Flyers finally got one in. John LeClair had just stopped a breakaway by Brian Bradley and with a quick turnover he was on the attack.
LeClair found Renberg going on the left side. Renberg took a few strides in, faked a shot and passed it to Eric Lindros who finished with a nice one-timer.

Just a little under thirty seconds later, Dainius Zubrus got 2 for hooking.
The Lightning powerplay haven't had any success yet and wasn't going
to be it this time either. Thanks to a great effort by Eric Lindros, he managed to keep the puck inside the Lightning zone while being alone with three opponents. He advanced in front of the goal and fired a shot. Schwab left a rebound out to Joel Otto, who had just come from the bench. He skated behind the net and passed it to Lindros, who had no problem getting his 2nd of the night.

The same duo who created the goal also had to find themselves sitting in the penalty box at the end of the period. Getting two goals in this period was nothing but lucky. Being on the penalty kill as many times as the Flyers was and killing them all was however pretty good. But the main focus was on referee Dan McCourt, who had found many soft penalties so far. The captains on both team had a word with him after the buzzer, and what the subject was you don't have to be a scientist to figure out was it was about.

And the second period was free from penalties. For a minute thirty-seven seconds. But this time it actually was crystal clear as Dino Ciccarelli didn't had a chance of catching up with Dainius Zubrus on a attempted breakaway. The Flyers kept the puck inside the Lightning zone, passing the puck around trying to find a spot to fire. Lindros eventually passed it to John LeClair, who fired a slapshot on goal. It deflected of Eric Desjardins left leg and past Schwab's five-hole.

Posted Image

So far, Corey Schwab had only managed to stop 15 out of 18 shots.
The next shot ended his night as Dainius Zubrus fed Kjell Samuelsson
with a great pass that the defenseman couldn't miss on.

Daren Puppa had to step in to replace him. And even though he started off with an amazing pad-save on a one-timer not even he could stop the Flyers from scoring. On a shot from the blueline by Janne Niiniimaa, Puppa left a rebound right on Shjon Podein's stick and although recovering fast to try to stop the next shot, Podein found an open spot
in the net and he finally got his first goal of the season. As Penguins broastcaster Mike Lange use to say: "He was smiling like a butcher's dog".

Posted Image

The game felt kinda over after that and to have in mind that the
Lightning was facing the team with fewest goals allowed, the chance
of catching up felt very slim. But at least the Lightning started to play better. On a powerplay eleven minutes in they almost got their first
goal of the night but Eric Desjardins was there and saved the puck
just before it could cross the goal-line. Two straight Lightning penalties
swung the momentum back to the Flyers but Puppa kept the game
at 5-0 until the end of the period. 31 seconds before the end of the period Kjell Samuelsson got a minor for tripping and the Flyers once again had to start shorthanded in the next period.

And a goal was scored. For the Flyers. As usual, the Flyers shorthanded
unit was forechecking hard and managed to create a turnover. With Eric Lindros having the puck on the left and with Eric Desjardins advancing wit h him on the opposite side you knew where the pass was going to.
But the Lightning failed to cover Desjardins who scored his 2nd goal of the game.

Posted Image

Trailing now by six goals, the Lightning had no energy left to even try to
score one goal and the rest of period they tried to get the minutes going.
From a spectator's point of view you might think it's bad behavior but trailing by that many goals doesn't give you any reason to keep you head up. But one more goal was to be scored and it was a sign that
they didn't care of what the score was. John LeClair fired a puck on Daren Puppa, who left a rebound out right in front of him. Eric Lindros
had no problems getting through and fire the puck on net which looked
harmless but it went in. Puppa should have taken that one.

Posted Image

The final 57 seconds of the game was spent on the powerplay as Lightning's Patrick Poulin got 2 for hooking.

Scoring seven goals against one of the weakest teams in league might
not be that impressive but Tampa Bay usually are better than this.
They managed to get 30 shots on goal, and even though Garth Snow
made some good saves but the Lightning was also very ineffective.
They had eight chances on the powerplay and didn't score once.
With the Flyers almost playing recklessly on the penalty kill you might
think that at least one goal would have slipped by.
While garbaging Tampa Bay, you should give Eric Lindros a hand for his
performance tonight. He played by far his best game of the season
and is producing as he is supposed to. John LeClair looks to be healthy
as well, having produced two goals and three assists since returning to the line-up after a twenty-two game absence.

THREE STARS
#1: Eric Lindros, 3 goals, 2 assists
#2: Garth Snow, 30 saves, .100%
#3: Eric Desjardins, 2 goals, 0 assists

NEXT GAME:
Next team to visit the CoreStates Center are the Washington Capitals.
Going 4-4-2-0 in their last ten, they are however winless in their last four.
Peter Bondra is carrying the biggest load on the team and lucky for the Capitals he has managed to stay healthy. But otherwise, it has been their defense who has won most of the games for the Capitals this season.

 Flyers blanks another team

It seems like the Flyers isn't getting enough of blanking
other teams.

Ron Hextall stopped all 19 shots he faced and Chris Therien
and John LeClair each had a goal as the Flyers beat the
Capitals 2-0.

Flyers got ahead early in the game thank to their 3rd line.
With a lot of grinding Dan Kordic forced himself into the
Capitals zone and found Chris Therien in front of the net.

NO PIC AVAILBLE

Olaf KĂślzig appeared to be sleeping on that shot. But he
played better the longer the period proceeded. He managed
to stop the Flyers from scoring on three consecutive powerplay-
chances and made the Flyers a bit frustrated.
Washington got back into the game as the Flyers took two straight
penalties. Although no goal was scored they created some good scoring
chances. Flyers won the shots in this period 13-7 and the game so
far had been roughly played with a lot of hard hits delivered from both teams.

The quality of the game declined a little bit in the second period.
Both teams played very defensively in the beginning, as it seemed
like they were afraid to allow a goal. Flyers eventually got out of their
defensive play and started to challange the Capitals and Olaf KĂślzig.
But the german netminder really stepped up and played great, making
a lot of great saves. His counterpart in the Flyers, Ron Hextall, was rarely
tested this period. Three minutes before the period ended Dan Kordic
challenged Mark Tinordi for a scrap. After being beaten the last time
the both teams met, Tinordi was up for the task. But after a lot punches, Tinordi eventually fell down on his knees.

The third period had a lot more to offer in terms of chances. Jason Allison had the chance of tying the game when a puck hit the post behind Ron Hextall and out on his stick. But he reacted too late and
shot the puck outside the net. Six minutes in, Dan Kordic was served a breakway and he deked away KĂślzig but he lifted the puck to high and it
hit the crossbar. Sixteen minutes in, Flyers closed the game.
At a two on one opportunity, Eric Lindros advanced on the right side and
with a great pass he found John LeClair in front of the net who put it past
KĂślzig's 5-hole.

The Flyers tight defense once again were the key for victory.
As the offense really didn't got their game going, they relied
on their strongest point in the team. Ron Hextall was held
with just 19 shots but made every save look easy and could
collect his shutout relatively easy.

THREE STARS
#1: Olaf KĂślzig, 37 saves, .948%
#2: Ron Hextall, 19 saves, 100%
#3: Chris Therien, 1 goal, 0 assists

NEXT GAME:
Another homegame is on the schedule, this time against the Northeast Division leader Montreal Canadiens. Riddled with injuries right now, they have gone 5-5-0-0 in their last ten, losing their last two. But Jocelyn Thibault is stepping back into the net after suffering from fatigue and should improve the Canadiens defense.

 Canadiens defeats Flyers

The Canadiens kept going ahead but the Flyers kept
coming back. It would take a strategical mistake by the
Flyers to defeat them.

Stephane Richer had two goals and Vincent Damphousse scored
the game-winning empty net goal as the Canadiens beat the Flyers 6-4.

Canadiens was the better team early in the game. And after six minutes
they got their first goal of the game as Donald Brashear took the puck
from Kevin Haller and served Scott Thornton with a nice pass.

Posted Image

But a little over a minute later Turner Stevenson got two for hooking
and the Flyers took the chance and tied the game up. Brind'Amour passed
the puck to Hawerchuk, who were standing at the blueline. He advanced into the zone to the right and served Brind'Amour with a great pass who fired a one-timer past Jocelyn Thibault.

Posted Image

Montreal kept the momentum though but the Flyers kept coming into game more and more as time progressed.

And it was the Flyers who took the lead early in the second. Niinimaa took the puck from is own zone and passed it to Eric Lindros on the right. He fed it directly to Mikael Renberg who skated into the Canadiens zone and fired a shot just as Thibault was screened by both Malakhov and Brisebois. When he finally saw the puck it was too late. It was in the net.

Posted Image

But twelve minutes in the Canadiens tied the game up. Stephane Richer got loose and got a chance to score on the breakway. With a quick wristshot he put it past Ron Hextall's stickside making the game 2-2.

Posted Image

The game was pretty even after this but as the Flyers took two unnecessary penalties the Canadiens took the chance of going ahead.
With only four seconds left of the period Pierre Turgeon made a pass between his legs from the corner right to Mark Recchi, who fired a backhand past Ron Hextall. An unusual goal for Hextall to allow.

Posted Image

The game was in the hands of the Canadiens as they had displayed
more confidence, was more hungrier than the Flyers and had that
edge.

Things weren't looking better for the Flyers in the third as Eric Desjardins was taken out two minutes for tripping. But just seventeen seconds later, Canadiens Brian Savage got two for hooking and put some pressure off the Flyers. When Desjardins penalty ended the Flyers got a short time on the powerplay. And sure, the Flyers tied the game up once again.
Petr Svoboda got a pass from Kjell Samuelsson and fired a shot which bounced of Stephane Quintal and up in the air. Thibault went down for the save, but instead Svoboda could take the puck and put it into the net as the netminder was out of position.

Posted Image

Posted Image

But at 12:23 Eric Lindros got this third minor of the game.
It took less than ten seconds before Stephane Richer scored his
second goal of the game as Ron Hextall left two rebound right out
in the slot.

Posted Image

It looked like the game was going to end with a Canadiens victory as
Petr Svoboda got two for tripping with 1:20 to go. But with some heavy forechecking and pulling Hextall the Flyers tied the game again as
Joel Otto stole the puck behind the Canadiens net and fed Desjardins with a puck he couldn't miss the net with.

NO PIC AVAILBLE

But here coach Terry Murray made a huge mistake. For some reason,
he didn't return Hextall back into the net and on the following face-off,
the Canadiens put it in the open net, winning the game. Murray tried to
tie it up again by continuing with an open net but it only resulted in another goal. What could have ended with at least a point for the Flyers, ended with zero thanks to a tactical mistake.

 Snow adds 4th shutout of the season

Garth Snow just can't get enough of shutouts.

Snow had to make only 14 saves and Rod Brind'Amour scored
the first and the game-winning goal as the Flyers beat the Dallas
Stars 3-0.

The first period was very defensively played. Both teams didn't allow
many attacks on goal and not many shots were produced during the period,
only 7-5 in favor of the Flyers. But the Flyers had two chances on the powerplay
but failed to score on each chance.

But Rod Brind'Amour broke the scoreless tie early in the second period.
Skating towards the Stars zone, he first dekes past on Dallas player while
being watched by two other players he made a sudden turn, went in towards
the net and fired a wristshot right past Andy Moog.

Flyers got another two powerplay-chances and finally scored on the 4th one.
Janne Niinimaa went for a wraparound but dropped the puck in the final moment.
Luckily, John Leclair picked it up and fired a low shot past Moog in the net, making it 2-0.

Dallas kept drawing penalties upon them and Andy Moog had to work hard to keep the puck out of the net as the Flyers kept playing better and better. Seven seconds before the period ended Pat Falloon dumped a what was looking as an harmless puck towards net. But Moog left a rebound on it and Kevin Haller could
push the 3-0 puck over the net. A bad mistake by the goaltender.

The Stars played a lot better in the third, but was still taking unnecessary
penalties throughout the period. The Flyers, who by this time was just defending
their lead, could easily keep the Stars inside their own zone, killing off valuable time. And with both Mike Modano and Pat Verbeek invisible on the ice, the Flyers
had no problems giving Garth Snow his 4th shutout of the season.

Not the most spectacular games this season perhaps, but the Flyers got the job done and took home another two points. Snow should give alot of credits to his defense for just facing 14 shots out there but when he had to, he made the saves
and kept it out. Facing as few shots as he did tonight can be as frustrating as facing 40-50 shots in a game.

THREE STARS
#1: Garth Snow, 14 saves, 100%
#2: Rod Brind'Amour, 1 goal, 0 assists
#3: John LeClair, 1 goal, 0 assists
