I went 7-4-1 during the final stretch and kept both the Pittsburgh Penguins and the New York Rangers behind me. When I lost three in a row, my biggest fear was to fall down to fourth and be forced to face either of those teams in the Eastern Conference Quarter-Finals. At 2nd place we find the Montreal Canadiens who finished with a 3-3-4-1 record but were eleven points up to the 2nd placed Ottawa so they sat pretty comfortable on their place. The Southeast winner is one of the big surprises this season. The Hartford Whalers finished with 7-3-1-1 record to not only make it to the playoffs but also winning their division. At 4th and 5th we find the two other giants in this conference: The Pittsburgh Penguins and the New York Rangers. The Penguins went 7-4-0-1 in their last twelve and matched the Flyers points to keep their place. The Rangers had a pretty good finish with a 6-4-1 record. The New Jersey Devils could thank Martin Brodeur for their 6-3-1-1 record in their last eleven games. He was in goal for all of those games sporting a 1.92 GAA. The biggest run for the playoffs was in the hands of the Ottawa Senators. During the final games they went 10-2-0-0 to jump from 10th to 7th in the Conference. Tampa Bay also did a great run in the end to get to the playoffs. With 70 games played, they were on the 13th spot. When 82 games had been played, they were up on 8th, finishing with 8-3-2-0 record, taking the final spot on the final game with a 3-1 win against the Hartford Whalers. And now for those who didn't make the playoffs. Starting at 9th place, we find the New York Islanders. Despite a 6-3-3-0 record, it wasn't enough. The 2-2 game against Washington was the final blow for their hope of making it to the playoffs. Their lack of offense throughout the season is the biggest reason for them not making it. The Florida Panthers is perhaps the biggest negative surprise. They won just two of their remaining eleven games and dropped from a division lead to 10th in the league. You really feel for John Vanbiesbrouk, who recorded the 6th best GAA and the 8th best save percentage. Behind them are Washington, Toronto and Boston, who all had the chance of going to the playoffs this year but inconsistent play in the final stage of the season ruined their bid. The only team who were already counted out of the playoffs were the Buffalo Sabres who finished with the next to worst record in the league. They finished with a 3-7-3-0 record. FINAL STANDINGS WESTERN CONFERENCE Comments: The Detroit Red Wings had no problems clinching their conference and division title. They went 6-2-4-0 and increased the gap between them and the Colorado Avalanche from seven to eleven points. The Avalanche won their division with five points separating them and the Vancouver Canucks. They had a decent last run, going 6-4-1-0. The Mighty Ducks clinched their division title early, but playing in one of the weakest divisions in the league the job wasn't that hard. They went 6-4-2 in their last ten. The Canucks finished with a disappointing 3-5-3-0 record and if the Chicago Blackhawks hadn't played as bad as they did (3-6-2-0) they would probably had to face the Mighty Ducks in the Quarter-Finals. The St.Louis Blues also had a rough finish, going only 3-7-1-0 and starting goaltender showed signs of fatigue. If he should falter, then it's up to backup Jon Casey to do the job. He got the Minnesota North Stars to the Stanley Cup playoffs in the 1990-1991 but hasn't played that good since then. The last team in had on of the shakiest roads to the playoffs. The San Jose Sharks had an 8-5-0-0 record, winning their last three to secure their spot in the post-season. That leaves us to the four that didn't make it there. The Calgary Flames had a pretty hard schedule in front of them, with five games against the division leaders in the west. And they lost all but one of these games. The Dallas Stars had a shot of making it, but went 0-4-1-0 in their last five and their 10th place was well-earned in my opinion. As a first-year franchise, the Phoenix Coyotes was expected to finish last. But thanks to some strong goaltender from Nikolai Khabibulin and leaders like Keith Tkachuk, Jeremy Roenick and Teppo Numminen they did a great effort of trying to make it to the post-season. But a 4-5-2-0 record landed them on 11th place this season. And now to the worst team in the 1996-1997 season: The Los Angeles Kings. Finishing the season with an 0-10-1-0 record and were just 2-16-2-0 in their last 20. With a poor team in general, the Kings didn't have anything that spoke for them and playing against them was like shooting fish in a barell.

season can be described as pretty okay. Sure, none of the players<br /> averaged a point per game but the only two players that were really supposed to<br /> do that was Eric Lindros and John LeClair. Lindros struggled on and off most<br /> of the season but had a strong finish, leading to him taking the team's scoring<br /> title. John LeClair could have gone over the one point mark, but an injury earlier<br /> in the season destroyed his chances and was clearly hampered by it when he returned.<br /> Had he stayed healthy, he would probably be up higher in the scoring. <br /> Rod Brind'Amour stayed around the one point-mark most of the season, but dipped <br /> a bit in the finish. Still, his 69 points is truly okay. The defense added their part as well, <br /> with Eric Desjardins getting 36 points in 82 games. Just one point behind we find Petr<br /> Svoboda, who had his most productive season since the 89-90 season. <br /> Rookie Janne Niinimaa finished with 28 points and also had a +19 rating. <br /> The two most disappointing players offensively were Dainius Zubrus and Pat Falloon.<br /> Zubrus started slow, but began producing midway through the season and had a<br /> spot on the first powerplay-line. But his production soon began to decline and he <br /> was replaced by Trent Klatt on both the second scoring-line and on the powerplay-line. <br /> The draft bust Fallon got a small spark last season with 48 points in 62 games. <br /> This year he played 67, and scored 15. He had a spot on the second scoring-line<br /> at the beginning of the season but soon fell down to third-line to make way for Dainius<br /> Zubrus. He then spent some time in the fourth line before being sent down to the Philadelphia<br /> Phantoms. <br /> <br /> Defensively, you can't do anything but to bow your heads for the Flyers defense.<br /> They allowed a total of 162 goals throughout the season and had 28 goals up to<br /> 2nd placed New Jersey Devils. With the exception of the third defensive line <br /> consisting of Chris Therien and Kevin Haller/Karl Dykhuis, the other two lines<br /> had at least +10. They also gave they share of offense, with the two first lines<br /> scoring at least 28 points. But let's not forget the forwards who did their job<br /> outside the spotlight. Dan Lacroix, Joel Otto and Shjon Podein all deserve a lot<br /> of credit for the Flyers success on the defense. In his first full season in the NHL,<br /> had just 3 goals and 4 assists, but was +1 despite playing on the line that allowed<br /> most goals. Otto had a career-low 15 points, but was the missing piece in the <br /> Flyers struggling penalty kill and finished with +5. Despite finishing with -7, <br /> Shjon Podein actually made a great job on the fourth line. With limited ice-time<br /> he made the most out of it every time he was out there.<br /> <br /> And last, but certainly not least, the goaltenders. Ron Hextall's spectacular season<br /> has experts already saying that he's going to win the Vezina Trophy for the second<br /> time in his career and who could blame them? He was first in the league in save<br /> percentage, goals against average, shots allowed and shutouts. He also had <br /> nine assists which puts him up at 15th place in the Flyers scoring this season.<br /> Behind him was Garth Snow who made an excellent job as a backup. He might<br /> have been a little shaky in the finishing games but so was the whole Flyers.<br /> He had a career high in save percentage, goals against average and shutouts.<br /> This lethal duo is going to be the most important part for the Flyers bid to make it<br /> to the Stanley Cup. <br /> <br /> <br /> <blockquote> <p><br /> <br /> </p> </blockquote> [/dohtml]

In that final, he won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP and later won the Vezina Trophy as well. With the last season's early departure from the playoffs, he is also up for revenge and with the solid <br /> play he's had this season it is not surprisingly if he gets it.<br /> There to back him up is Garth Snow who also had a stellar season. It is not likely that he will see some ice-time in the playoffs if Hextall plays but if that happens the Flyers know that they have a relaible guy in the net.</td> <td width="342" align="center"><p>The 26-year old rookie Corey Schwab surprisingly took the no.1 spot from Darren Puppa and appeared in 62 games, going 27-29-6. His 2.45 GAA and his 88,3% save percentage was good for 12th and 9th among starting goaltenders. He kept it tight against the Flyers all season with a 7-0 loss as the sole exception. If he can bring his solid game from the regular season to the playoffs, the Flyers will have to work hard to beat him. <br /> His lack of playoff experience can be enough though.<br /> Darren Puppa could be the answer if Schwab should falter. Puppa also lacks playoff experience but has been in the league for many years and is strong mentally.<br /> </p></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="23" colspan="2" align="center" valign="top"><strong>Defense</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="23" align="center" valign="top">Without a doubt the best defense in the league this season. Led by veteran Eric Desjardins they allowed a league-low 162 goals throughout the season, which is less than two goals per game. Only that number should intimidate the Lightning offense. And that all but one regular defenseman had plus-minus rating over +7. <br /> Not to talk about their offensive capability. So is everything speaking for them on this part of the team? Of course not. They have a lot of pressure on them going into the playoffs and should they stop functioning, the Flyers are in some serious trouble. If they play simple and ease the pressure on the offense then it could be a smooth ride for the Flyers through the first round.</td> <td height="23" align="center" valign="top">Led by youngster Roman Hamrlik, the Lightning defense allowed 201 goals, which landed them on a 11th spot in the league. The 23-year old Czech had a career in both points, goals and assists (17+56 = 73) and won the Lightning scoring title. His linemate Igor Ulanov scored 39 points and had a +4 rating. Veteran Bob Houlder had 34 points in just 62 games and his linemate David Bannister had 26. The third defensive line consisting of David Shaw and Jay Wells are two defensive pieces that combined for just three points this season. In overall, they have a good defensive core that has proven themselves worthy during the season. But they need to stay focused all the time, especially on the penalty kill, to avoid easy goals against them.</td> </tr> <tr> <td height="23" colspan="2" align="center" valign="top"><strong>Offense</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="23" align="center" valign="top">The Flyers were No.1 in the league this season with 249 goals scored. That's an average of at least three goals per game, making them quite lethal when are in possesion of the puck. With three players over the 30 goal mark (Eric Lindros, Rod Brind'Amour and John LeClair) and three players over the 20 goal mark (Dale Hawerchuk, Mikael Renberg and Trent Klatt) they have two great offensive lines in their hands. But the problem throughout the season has been important games. In several games against the top teams this season, the one's who are supposed to score failed to produce and they took a few losses because of this. And now is the time that really must produce. "We'll get them the next time" just doesn't cut it in the playoffs.</td> <td height="23" align="center" valign="top">Sure, the Lightning chipped in 195 goals this season and landed on 14th place in the league but their offense isn't their strongest part of the team. The 36-year old veteran Dino Ciccarelli led the scoring with 32 goals and Rob Zamuner was 2nd with 18. On third we find Roman Hamrlik who scored 17. The rest of the scoring is spread out throughout the team which is not a bad thing but the thing here is that they will rely much on their leading trio to do the scoring. Should anyone of them go down with injury then they will have to put a lot of the pressure on the defense as there are not many great scorers on the team. But sometimes the playoffs brings out the best out of some players and perhaps we will see it this time also.</td> </tr> <tr> <td height="23" colspan="2" align="center" valign="top"><strong>Three keys to victory</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="23" align="center" valign="top">1.

Their first scoring-line led by Dino Ciccarelli managed to put some early pressure upon Ron Hextall and the Flyers needed to play way more defensive than they planned to. The Flyers didn't record a shot until six minutes into the period when Dale Hawerchuk fired a shot from close-range and also got his hands on the rebound. But Igor Ulanov tripped him when he was about to shoot and got a minor for that.As usual, the Flyers put some heavy pressure on the net but failed to get a shot through the heavy traffic that Tampa Bay created. But the moment they left a space wide enough to get a shot away, John LeClair fired one of his hard slapshots past Schwab's stickside and into the net.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/LeClair_1_0_1-1.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/LeClair_1_0_2-1.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> The Flyers got the momentum after the goal and was the better team throughout the period. But Tampa Bay played a solid, and sometimes, an impressive defensive game and also got a few good saves from Corey Schwab. Tampa Bay had two powerplays in the last five minutes, <br /> one on Janne Niinimaa for tripping at 14:53 and one on Daniel Lacroix at 18:22 for roughing. But the Flyers also showed off with a solid<br /> defensive play and held the Lightning to just three shots on those two penalties. It wasn't a surprise that the shots were just 8-6 in favor of the Flyers when the period ended.<br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="21" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><strong>Second Period</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="1490" colspan="3" align="center">The solid defensive play continued. Both teams played very physical but also played cautiously, not wanting to make a mistake that could lead to an easy goal for the opposing team. Tampa Bay got a third chance on the powerplay at 04:49 when Vaclav Prospal got a minor for obstruction hooking. But the Flyers shorthanded units mangled the Lightning powerplay and denied them a single shot on Hextall.<br /> The Lightning were playing a lot better though, and got a little bolder as the period progressed. But they were a bit too bold in the offensive zone. Sixteen minutes in, Jason Wiemer hooked Eric Lindros and the referee raised his arm for the upcoming penalty. Eric Desjardins then quickly passed through the Lightning traffic to Dale Hawerchuk in the neutral zone. He fed it directly to John LeClair who skated into the Lightning zone on the right, went behind and around the net and finished with putting a backhand past Schwab's glove to make it 2-0.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/LeClair_2_0_1-1.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/LeClair_2_0_2-1.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> The Flyers went on the defensive for the remainer of the period but got a penalty on Daniel Lacroix for hooking as it ended, giving the Lightning a possible great start of the third period. But if the Flyers played as good as they had earlier on the penalty kill, the Lightning was in for a hard one.</td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><p><strong>Third Period</strong><br /> </p></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center">A simple mistake led to the Flyers third goal of the game. The Lightning had inially been good on the powerplay, getting two pretty good scoring chances. When thirty-three seconds remained of the penalty, The Lightning won a face-off just outside the Flyers zone. Brian Bradley tried to get the puck to Cory Cross but Cross never saw the puck and Rod Brind'Amour got to the puck, skated into the zone past a chasing Cross and Bannister and got a wrister past Schwab. <br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/BrindAmour_3_0_1.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/BrindAmour_3_0_2.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> The Flyers continued creating chances after the goal and Corey Schwab really had to work hard to keep the puck out of the net.<br /> About five minutes in Petr Svoboda fired a one-timer on close-range that Schwab made a great save on. He got down just in time<br /> to deflected it from the net with his glove. That was just another proof that the Flyers must work hard to beat him.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Schwab_Save-1.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> The Flyers were better at both ends at this time and the Lightning had a hard time just even coming into the offensive zone.<br /> The rest of period basically became an easy ride for the Flyers as they could without any problems guard their and eventually<br /> taking the lead in the series 1-0. <br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><strong>Post-game</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center">To say that this was a comfortable victory for the Flyers is an overstatement. The Lightning had indeed made their homework before this game and wasn't really that far behind the Flyers. The early goal by Brind'Amour in the third period perhaps ended their hopes of winning the first game but the Lightning showed at least that they will give the Flyers a hard time for the rest of the series and maybe even steal it.<br /> But the Flyers also showed that their hard-working, disciplined defense isn't going to give them any easy goals.<br /> What we're in for is some close games with one or perhaps a two-goal margin at most.</td> </tr> <table border=1> <tr><td> PHILADELPHIA</td><td align="center">3 </td></tr> <tr><td> TAMPA BAY</td><td align="center">0 </td></tr> </table> <table>

The Lightning continued disturbing their scoring-lines way up high in the neutral zone and the Flyers had no good answer to solve this. At the same time, the Lightning found several ways to get into the Flyers zone and tested Ron Hextall early with some shots. The Lightning had the momentum and were pushing for the first goal of the game. But midway through the period, their bid of getting into the lead was interupted by a penalty on Jay Wells. And the Flyers took the advantage, scoring sixteen seconds later when Rod Brind'Amour fired a one-timer from Mikael Renberg from a weird angle to make it 1-0. <br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/BrindAmour-1.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> Shortly after, Kjell Samuelsson took a pretty stupid penalty for tripping, giving the Lightning the chance to get right back into the game. And they started to get closer to a goal as they managed to disect the Flyers penalty kill bit by bit. They failed to score on that powerplay but Samuelsson got another minor, this time for cross-checking, at 15:31 and this time they got really close to net their first of the series as Brian Bellows fired a shot from point-blank that Ron Hextall managed to catch with his glove. The Flyers killed that penalty too but the Lightning gained some valuable momentum from those two powerplay opportunities and when the horn sounded to mark the end of the period, they had won the shots 11-7. <br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="21" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><strong>Second Period</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="17" colspan="3" align="center">The crowd at the CoreStates Center had to see the Flyers retreating into their own zone in the first few minutes of the period. The Lightning were better on every level and you could almost smell that a goal was coming. But a penalty at 05:22 on Igor Ulanov created some breathing-space for the Flyers to try to get the momentum back and perhaps scoring another goal. But a little over a minute later, Dale Hawerchuk destroyed their chances by taking a minor for roughing. Fifty-two seconds went by with both teams having four players on the ice. And when Ulanov got back on the ice, The Lightning quickly changed it's tactic and played very aggressively.<br /> And finally, it payed off. A cooperation between Rob Zamuner and Alexander Selivanov led to a shot on goal from Zamuner's stick. It hit Chris Therien and went wobbling through the air and Hextall barely got to it. But he couldn't hold and it roll off him and landed right between Selivanov's legs. Hextall threw himself down on the ice to cover but Selivanov managed to get control of the puck and lifted it over the goaltender for the tying goal.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Selivanov_1_1_1.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Selivanov_1_1_2.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> This goal gave the Lightning the fuel they needed and were the team that was pushing hardest for the lead. They had taken over the Flyers physical play and it was them who were throwing bodies all over the ice and not the other way around. The Flyers needed to find that sort of play again to get back into the game. But throughout the rest of the period, they had to defend themselves and Hextall worked hard to keep the puck out of the crease. The Lightning eventually won the period 1-0 and also won the shots by 10-6.<br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><p><strong>Third Period</strong><br /> </p></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center">There was a slight change of scenery from the second period. Eric Lindros began the period with crushing Chris Gratton hard into the boards and Jason Wiemer went after him at the next shift but Lindros just skated away. On the next shift they both were on the ice, Wiemer kept bugging Lindros and when he was close to the Flyers net, he obviously said something to Ron Hextall, that he didn't like because suddenly both his masks and his gloves were off and a scrap began between. But from nowhere came Corey Schwab and grabbed Hextall and they squared off. Both landed a few punches, but it was mostly a grabbing-game that didn't get anywhere and the referees eventually broke them up. <br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Hextall_Schwab_Fight.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> The pace really picked up after the fight and it was a well-needed spark for the Flyers. The puck kept going back and forth between the teams and they exchanged a few chances each. But the momentum swung back to Lightning once again as Eric Lindros got called for tripping at 10:33. They killed the penalty but less than two minutes later, Lindros once again got a minor, a roughing on Roman Hamrlik. and this time the Lightning got into the lead as Brian Bellows chipped it in with a wristshot past Ron Hextall, after recieving a great pass from Chris Gratton.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Lindros_Check.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Bellows_1_2.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> With only five minutes left, the Flyers had no option but to go all in on the attack. And luckily for them, the Lightning began backing home way to early and handed the Flyers the momentum. But Schwab made save after save and frustration began building up at the Flyers bench. And as the final minute arrived, things weren't looking good. But sometimes a little hook and a screen can help a lot. Eric Lindros went in for a shot on goal but was stopped by David Shaw. The puck slided towards Trent Klatt, who fired it instantly. Schwab, who was screened by a defenseman, never saw the puck coming until it was too late and it went past his right pad, making it 2-2 with just twenty-eight seconds to go.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Klatt_2_2.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><strong>Over-time</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center">And three minutes into the overtime, the Flyers managed to get the win. In the spotlight for taking that penalty that led to the Lightning scoring the 2-1 goal, Eric Lindros fired a one-timer on a pass from Petr Svoboda on goal. Schwab deflected it into the right corner and Lindros picked it up, went in front of the net and just buried the shot top shelf. It seemed that he let a lot of steam out with that shot but it got them the win and a 2-0 lead in the series.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Lindros_3_2-1.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="17" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><strong>Post-game</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center">You can really say that the Flyers were pretty lucky to get away with the win in this game. The Lightning basically owned most of the game and seems to have figured the Flyers out. But the Flyers didn't really play a bad game, but having in mind what they have showed in the regular season you know that they can do better than this. But this win hopefully gives them some confidence boost and when the series goes to Tampa, maybe the Flyers will dominate. <br /> But one thing is certain. Ron Hextall is barely warm yet but made an excellent game tonight and will probably be red hot in game three.<br /> He was the best player tonight and it is not a surprise if he is that in the next game as well.</td> </tr> <table border=1> <tr><td> PHILADELPHIA</td><td align="center">3 </td></tr> <tr><td> TAMPA BAY</td><td align="center">2 </td></tr> </table> <table> <tr> <td> </td> </tr>

Playing far more aggressively than excepted, they have really challenged the Flyers every single minute so far and playing at home could perhaps help them into their first victory in the series. But this night, the Flyers were prepared and played far more physical in the opening minutes than the Lightning. But they still fell behind early as Chris Gratton made it 1-0 on a powerplay, just ten seconds after Petr Svoboda had gone to the penalty box.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Gratton_0_1.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> The Lightning didn't gain any momentum of it though. The Flyers were still the more aggressive team but the Lightning were playing better technically and had a better flow in their game. Exactly thirteen minutes in, Eric Lindros got into the penalty box for hooking and just three seconds later Dino Ciccarelli headed the same way for roughing, leading to a four on four situation. Here the Flyers created the first real chance of the period as Vaclav Prospal managed to get through the tight defense and deked past Schwab, but shot the puck into the right post. When Daniel Lacroix took a minor for hooking at 16:57, the Lightning pressed on for a 2-0 lead before the intermission but the two shots they had on Hextall he stopped cold. As the period ended they had the lead and also won the shots 9-8.<br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="21" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><strong>Second Period</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="17" colspan="3" align="center">The Flyers were the aggressive team again from the start but only got two minutes of pressuring the Lightning as the referee found a very easy penalty on John LeClair, a minor for interference. The Flyers killed the penalty with relative ease as the Lightning couldn't get their powerplay going. The Flyers kept on with their aggressive play but had problems coming through the Lightning defense. And at 08:04, Vaclav Prospal got called for interference, which disrupted their momentum. But only eleven seconds later Cory Cross got a minor for cross-checking. But when looking on the replay, it actually didn't look anything like a cross-check.<br /> Both penalties ended without a goal and the play went back to five on five but not for long though. Drew Bannister got a minor for hooking at 10:53, another weak call by the referee. And the Flyers went on and put a massive pressure on the Lightning net and Corey Schwab got to work hard to keep it out. When a minute had passed of the penalty, Trent Klatt saw Eric Lindros by the left post and threw a pass away. Lindros fired a one-timer and Schwab was quick to get there to save it but he couldn't contain it and the puck found a way into the net. <br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Lindros_1_1_1.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Lindros_1_1_2.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> They went on the prowl for another goal and didn't give the Lightning much time with the puck. They were all over the Lightning net and a goal didn't seem far away. But Corey Schwab kept making saves and kept the game tied a one. But he had to capitulate eventually. At 17:01, Brian Bellows went out two minutes for roughing and it took fifty-six seconds before the Flyers converted. Petr Svoboda fired a shot towards the traffic and it hit Trent Klatt and bounced to Matt Cullen. Cullen didn't react fast enough though before Klatt took the puck and fired it past Schwab and made it 2-1 just two minutes before the break. And the Flyers held their lead until the buzzer and won the shots 17-6!<br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Klatt_2_1-2.jpg" width="800" height="640" /> <br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><p><strong>Third Period</strong><br /> </p></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center">The Lightning didn't want to show themselves beaten at home just yet. They opened the third with a great offensive and tested Ron Hextall the first few minutes.<br /> The Flyers answered with playing very physical and players from both sides started flying into the boards and down in the ice. <br /> The Lightning had the best chances though but hockey is fair sometimes. At the ten minutes mark, in the middle of the Lightning pressure, Trent Klatt got to the puck and flew past their defense and got a breakaway. Close to the net, he got hooked by Shawn Burr but managed to keep control of the puck and deked past Schwab to make it 3-1 to the Flyers. <br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Klatt_3_1_1.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Klatt_3_1_2.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> As both teams had played great defensively so far, this was not what the Lightning needed. A two-goal margin with ten minutes to go was going to be a hard nut for them to crack. And the Lightning gave it their best shot of trying to close the gap but they just didn't have the strength this night. The Flyers were too strong for them and Ron Hextall had another great night in goal, stopping all nine shots he faced in the last period and the final score was 3-1 to the visiting team.<br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="17" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><strong>Post-game</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center">The Lightning was definately weaker in this game and in comparision with the other two games, this was the easiest victory for the Flyers. It was the first time that their tactic really worked and gave the result that they wanted. And with two out of three goals coming on the powerplay, they still show that they are lethal in that category. Although the two first lines didn't have their best night in the playoffs so far, they can be glad that Trent Klatt stepped in and took the Flyers within just one win to advance to the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals.</td> </tr> <table border=1> <tr><td> TAMPA BAY</td><td align="center">1 </td></tr> <tr><td> PHILADELPHIA</td><td align="center">3 </td></tr> </table> <table> <tr> <td> </td>

After a face-off in their own zone, Jeff Toms accidently passed the puck right to Trent Klatt who had an empty space between him and Corey Schwab. With no player to stop him, he easily deked past Schwab and put it in with a backhand.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Klatt_1_0_1.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Klatt_1_0_2-1.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> And twenty-three seconds later, the Flyers found themselves on the powerplay as Dino Ciccarelli got a minor for roughing. The Lighning didn't want to get another goal this early into the game and worked very hard to defend themselves and did it well as they killed the penalty. Both teams were at the same level this period, with both getting their share of shots on goal. Although the Flyers had the most dangerous chances to score, it was the Lightning who got the next goal. <br /> At 17:42, a shot by Chris Gratton slipped through Hextall's pads and stopped on the goalline. Kjell Samuelsson was so close to clear it but Dino Ciccarelli got to it first and poked it in. <br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Ciccarelli_1_1-1.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> A little disappointing for the Flyers, who were hoping to go to the dressing room with 1-0 lead. But the goal was fair as the Lightning were much better than them in the last minutes of the period. The Lightning won the shots 14-12 and with their late goal, they had a small momentum. <br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="21" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><strong>Second Period</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="17" colspan="3" align="center">And that continued as they got a powerplay-opportunity after just 02:11 when Daniel Lacroix had to sit two minutes for roughing. But just ten seconds passed before a deflected shot landed on Bellows stick. He shot the puck, took his own rebound and chipped it in past Hextall to take a 2-1 lead. <br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Bellows_2_1.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> Once again the Flyers penalty kill allowed an easy goal and as effective as the Lightning had been so far in the series on the powerplay, they had to start to play more cautious to avoid penalties. But just ten seconds before the ten minute mark, Chris Therien was handed a minor for hooking and the Lightning was close again to score, but Ron Hextall stood in the way and prevented them to send the Flyers into a two-goal deficit, a deficit that would be hard to turn into a lead. <br /> The Flyers had two good chances in the final four minutes of the period. The first one, just after the sixteen minute mark, was created by Joel Otto who got a breakaway. He had an open net but missed by a small margin. The second one, with just forty seconds left, came from Rod Brind'Amour's stick. And he also had an open net when he deked past Schwab but hit the post and when Brind'Amour got to the rebound, the goaltender had already recovered to make the save.<br /> Although not scoring, it felt like the Flyers were the better team when going into the dressing-room to wait for the third period. They won the shots at least, 9-7.<br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><p><strong>Third Period</strong><br /> </p></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center">The Lightning played a very smart hockey from the start and shut down several scoring-chances that the Flyers got. The frustration was evident as they were playing good as well but just couldn't get close enough to get a decent shot on goal. But close to ten minute mark they frustration finally payed off.<br /> After being inside the Lightning zone for over a minute, trying to get a shot on goal, Dale Hawerchuk saw a small opening and fed the puck to Rod Brind'Amour who just stepped in and fired a hard slapshot past Corey Schwab's glove. The whole Flyers bench jumped up in celebration and you could clearly see on everyone's faces how relieving that goal was. The hunt for the next goal was on, and the tension began build up at the Ice Palace. One goal for the Flyers could mean a trip to the next round and one goal for the Lightning could mean another shot of surviving this round. And both teams really gave it their best. But the chances were few as both teams focused on the defense. And going into the last minute, it looked like this game was going to overtime. But then Paul Ysebaert got called for hooking at 19:21, giving the Flyers a last chance to settle this before the regular time ended. A face-off a few seconds later led to Trent Klatt taking the puck. He went into the zone and passed Eric Lindros who fired a one-timer that bounced off a defenseman and into the left corner. John LeClair picked it up, turned around and went in and fired a backhand.<br /> Screened perfectly by Trent Klatt, Corey Schwab never saw the puck coming until it was too late and allowed the game-winning 3-2 goal just eight seconds before the final buzzer. And that did it for the Flyers who now advances to the second round after winning this one in four straight games.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/LeClair_3_2_1-1.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/LeClair_3_2_2-1.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Celebration.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="17" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><strong>Post-game</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center">Despite winning the series in four straight games, the Flyers has a few things to sort out before the next round. The most important thing is their leaking penalty kill. This has been a common problem throughout the season but hasn't really been resolved. In sixteen shorthanded situations they allowed four goals which lands them on a 75.0% on the penalty kill, the worst of all teams that are left in the playoffs. In the next round, they are facing either Montreal Canadiens or the Ottawa Senators, two teams who had a decent powerplay this season. If anything must start working, it is the penalty kill. It might be a cliché, but one goal can be the difference of making it to next round or ending the season early in disappointment</td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center"> </td> </tr>

But thanks to Ron Tugnutt and a great offensive they made it through to the second round. In the battle of the heavyweights, New York Rangers was the winner and faces New Jersey Devils. The Devils penalty kill was flawless during the series against the Hartford Whalers and didn't allow a single goal. Will they punish the Rangers great offensive with the same medicine? All top four teams remains in the Western Conference and something tells me that once these semi-finals are over, the Detroit Red Wings and the Colorado Avanlanche are the team that will be the final two teams to challenge for a place in the Finals.

He leads the post-season with a 1.24 GAA and a 94,9% save percentage and was one of the heroes in the Quarter-Finals against the Tampa Bay Lightning. He gave a calm, confident impression throughout the series but he went vintage in game three by fighting goaltender Corey Schwab. That just shows that he still posseses that valuable aggressivness that makes him so good in important games. If he keeps playing like this, Garth Snow won't see a minute of action in the playoffs.</td> <td width="342" align="center" valign="top"><p>Ron Tugnutt led the Senators to their first winning season in modern history by going 33-28-5 with a 2.57 GAA(19th in NHL) and a 87,2% save percentage (also 19th in NHL). They are not spectacular numbers but with thinking of the team the Senators has, it's still quite an accomplishment. He was great however in the Quarter-Finals against the Canadiens and was the first star in the 3-1 win in game 7. He is confident right now and that can cause some serious trouble for the Flyers offense. To back him up is Damian Rhoades, who has one start in this playing, allowing four goals in a loss.<br /> </p></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="23" colspan="2" align="center" valign="top"><strong>Defense</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="23" align="center" valign="top">The Flyers allowed just five goals in four games, four of them while being shorthanded, and continued to show that their defense is no.1 in the league. Offensively, they contributed only with two assists (one on Eric Desjardins and one on Petr Svoboda) but if they keep defending themselves as good as they did in the first round, then nobody will question their lack of offense.</td> <td height="23" align="center" valign="top">The Senators allowed the second-most goals in the first round (18) but they also were the only team that played seven games. Two out of their three top scoring players were defensemen, with Sergei Gonchar scoring seven points (1+6) and Wade Redden scoring five (1+4).<br /> But at the same time, the defense hasn't been suffering that much and they still sport a solid core that will give the Flyers something to think about.<br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="23" colspan="2" align="center" valign="top"><strong>Offense</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="23" align="center" valign="top">I think nobody would expect that Trent Klatt would be the leading scorer after the first round. But with seven points (4+3) he is first, with two points more than Eric Lindros (2+3). But they can be glad he stepped up as they didn't get the expected offense from the rest. Sure John LeClair and Rod Brind'Amour scored three goals but both were invisible from time to time and has to step up in this round if they don't want to find themselves in a bigger slump. </td> <td height="23" align="center" valign="top">All four lines contributed offensively in the Senators in the first round, with every forward getting at least a point. Alexander Yashin was the best of them with six points (2+4) and Daniel Alfredsson got five (2+3). Tom Chorske only netted fifteen goals in the regular season but was best on the team with three goals and added an assist as well. Rookie Andreas Dackell only had three points but with the regular season he's had he still has to be watched. Overall, they have a wide line with good offensive players, but their lack of defensive qualites puts a lot of pressure on the defensemen.</td> </tr> <tr> <td height="23" colspan="2" align="center" valign="top"><strong>Three keys to victory</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="23" align="left" valign="top">1.

It was very tight and none of the teams got the upper hand. <br /> Even though hits were exchanged it was in fact a clean game so far and only two penalties were found in the period. The first one was handed to Alexei Yashin at 09:27, a minor for hooking. The Sens did a great job of neutralizing the Flyers powerplay, forechecking hard on the forwards and often winning the puck in the process. At 16:05 Janne Niinimaa had to head for the penalty box for tripping and the Flyers did a great job of killing the penalty. Dale Hawerchuk were close to make it 1-0 on the penalty kill as he fired a shot just inside the Senators zone and it went past Tugnutt but hit the post and deflected out to a Ottawa defenseman. Vaclav Prospal had the best chance of the period with less than thirty seconds left as he got a breakaway. He didn't make much of it though and Tugnutt could easily stop the puck. To sum up the first period, it was as said before very evenly played and tight and the shots were few, just 9-7 to the Flyers. <br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="21" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><strong>Second Period</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center">The Flyers got off to a pretty bad start as Trent Klatt was handed a minor for hooking after just 02:34.

With more space in the Flyers zone, the Senators could get a couple shots on goal but Ron Hextall was sharp and kept the puck out throughout the whole penalty kill. But they only got to play five on five for only a short period of time as Joel Otto got a minor for boarding at 05:50. But he could consider himself lucky as the penalty should have been a double-minor at least. The Flyers killed this penalty as well but the Senators had gained some momentum<br /> and were pushing for a goal. And at 10:52 they broke the scoreless tie as Alexander Daigle found Radek Bonk in front of the net and he fired it past a sliding Hextall to make it 1-0.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Bonk_0_1_1.jpg" width="800" height="640" /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Bonk_0_1_2.jpg" width="800" height="640" /> <br /> This gave the Senators a further boost and the Flyers were starting to lose more momentum. The scoring-lines were nowhere to be seen<br /> as they created basically nothing. It was in fact the two checking-lines who getting through the Senators defense with their physical play and grinding. It was that sort of play that lead to the 1-1 goal late in the period. Ron Hextall fired away a puck that bounced off the left boards in the neutral zone. Shjon Podein went after it and used all his strenght to get by Wade Redden and Sergei Gonchar and creating enough space to fire the puck. Ron Tugnutt had his eyes on the puck but was too slow getting down on his knees and it went past his five-hole.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Podein_1_1_1.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Podein_1_1_2.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> This was a very important goal by Podein and thinking of he only scored twice in the regular season he sure picked the right spot to score again. This meant that they could go into the dressing room for the final period with a 1-1 tie instead of that nagging 1-0 deficit.<br /> The Senators won without any surprise the shots 15-8, but the Flyers did a good job helping them getting those penalties. <br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><p><strong>Third Period</strong><br /> </p></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center">The Flyers managed to keep themselves out of the penalty box this period and got the scoring-lines going as well. John LeClair tested Tugnutt on several occasions throughout the period but was denied every time. Mikael Renberg had a chance of making it 2-1 eight minutes in when he got a rebound on close range but Tugnutt stretched out and got to the puck with a pad. The Flyers tight defense left Ron Hextall without work through most of the period but he had some moments as well. Randy Cunneyworth fired the puck on goal after a quick turn-around but Hextall denied him the goal with a nice glove-save. The time was ticking away and it looked the first game in the series was headed for overtime. And so it did as both teams turned to the defensive the last minutes, in fear of making that one mistake that would cost the game. The Flyers were the better team in the last round, getting nine shots on goal. But Ron Tugnutt had been awesome so far and he was surely going to give them some head-ache in the overtime as well.</td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><strong>Over-time</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center">But the Flyers didn't get a chance to test him. The Senators won the face-off and after the puck had passed through Sergei Gonchar and Shawn McEachern, it landed on Daniel Alfredsson's stick who just stepped into the Flyers zone and fired a quick wristshot past Hextall and up topshelf, winning the first game for the Senators. <br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Alfredsson_1_2.jpg" width="800" height="640" /> <br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><strong>Post-game</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center">The overall performance from the Flyers in this game can't be considered as bad, despite the loss. Although the physical play wasn't present and the fact they took unecessary penalties, the defensive was solid and they once again got a solid performance out of Ron Hextall. <br /> The offensive was perhaps the only real bad thing in this game but they showed in the first round of the playoffs that they can deliver under pressure and there's no worries yet that they won't do it in this round.</td> </tr> </table> <br /><table border=1> <tr><td> PHILADELPHIA</td><td align="center">1 </td></tr> <tr><td> OTTAWA</td><td align="center">2 </td></tr> </table> <table> <tr> <td> </td> </tr>

After winning the opening face-off, the Flyers advanced into the Senators zone. Mikael Renberg got the puck from Janne Niinimaa and fired a shot on goal that Ron Tugnutt left a rebound on. There to take it was Rod Brind'Amour who chipped in the 1-0 goal just after twenty-five seconds. <br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/BrindAmour_1_0_1-2.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/BrindAmour_1_0_2-2.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> That set off a great offensive from the Flyers. The Senators went static and looked like traffic cones out on the ice. <br /> The only one who had seemed present was Ron Tugnutt who did his best to keep his team in the game. <br /> On powerplay for the Flyers eight minutes in, he stopped alone five shots and on a breakaway by Vaclav Prospal thirteen minutes, he stopped the young rookie cold with a pad save. But less than two minutes before the period ended, Tugnutt had to capitulate for the second time in the game. When on a powerplay, the Flyers put some heavy traffic in front of the net and Tugnutt had to struggle to see the puck.<br /> But he failed to see a backhand fired away by John LeClair until it was too late.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/LeClair_2_0_1-2.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/LeClair_2_0_2-2.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> That goal didn't help the Senators gaining confidence. In fact, when they headed out to the dressing room for the intermission their heads were hanging down and gave the Flyers some more fuel to the next period. But this period should be enough. Winning the shots 17-6, the Flyers were all over the Senators, not giving them an inch to work on.<br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="21" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><strong>Second Period</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center">And it only took the Flyers twenty-four seconds to bring the Senators further down under the ice. After recieving a pass from John LeClair, Trent Klatt went into the Sens zone, made a few dekes and fired a wristshot on goal. Ron Tugnutt touched the puck with his glove but it wasn't enough to deflect it from the net and it went in.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Klatt_3_0_1.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Klatt_3_0_2.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> The Flyers kept the momentum but the Senators were starting to defend themselves better and made it harder for the hometeam to<br /> get a scoring chance. But this was all to the cost of the offensive, who had to help with the defense as well. The period only saw one penalty, a hooking on Tom Chorske, seven minutes in but was killed by the Senators. Ron Hextall only saw four shots this period, all of them which weren't any dangerous at all. The Flyers "only" got nine this period but still owned the momentum and didn't show any signs of slowing down.<br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><p><strong>Third Period</strong><br /> </p></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center">The third period became scoreless but there was not a lack of chances, at least not for the Flyers. Kjell Samuelsson missed an open net four minutes in and Trent Klatt had a chance of scoring his second of the night on a rebound but hit Tugnutt right in the stomach. <br /> Twelve minutes in, Denny Lambert and Eric Lindros dropped the gloves for the first fight in the series, it was an even match with both landing some punches and recieving them. It ended in a fair tie. The Flyers offense declined in the later part of the period as they only defended their lead, which was an easy task. The Senators only got three shots on Ron Hextall this period and showed nothing of the play they had two nights ago. When the horn sounded for the end of the game, the Flyers had taken an easy 3-0 win.</td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><strong>Post-game</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center">After this solid win you can only have one question: has the Senators already run out of juice? The gut feeling says: of course not. The series turns around now with the Flyers heading to Ottawa for two games. With their fantastic home-crowd and Ron Tugnutt on a hot-streak, it might as well fire up the Senators again. But the Flyers got a psycological advantage from this game, with the defense shutting down their offense totally. One can only hope that they will do the same in game three.</td> </tr> </table> <br /> <table border=1> <tr><td> PHILADELPHIA</td><td align="center">3 </td></tr> <tr><td> OTTAWA</td><td

Just four minutes in the Flyers lost concentration in their own zone and left Hextall unprotected leading to Radek Bonk passing Tom Chorske in front of the net who made no mistake putting it past the goaltender for the 1-0 goal.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Chorske_0_1.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> The Flyers got sparkled by the goal and also tried to score early. But Ron Tugnutt made it difficult for them. When Calle Johansson was out two minutes for <br /> hooking, the Flyers tried their best to beat him, but he made some great saves, including a huge save on Lindros with his blocker.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Tugnutt_Save.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> But at least the Flyers got some momentum out of their pressure. But as Ottawa began losing their, they began to play ugly with a lot of hooks and non-puck hits, all this without the referee calling anything. But as soon as the Flyers began doing the same they were punished. Daniel Lacroix was handed a minor for hooking at 10:10.<br /> And although the Senators got a few chances to score it was the Flyers who got the goal. After a face-off in the Senators zone, Rod Brind'Amour managed to steal the puck from a Senator and quickly fired a slapshot past Tugnutt, who was out of position. <br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/BrindAmour_1_1-5.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> The rest of the period was very even, with both teams picking up the pace. The Senators were still playing that ugly hockey but when the Flyers started getting physical to show that they didn't like it. Only then it could stop. The period ended with both teams not having the upper hand, although the Senators won the shots 11-9. <br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="21" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><strong>Second Period</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center">Just the the Senators in the first, The Flyers got an early goal in the second. Janne Niinimaa managed, with some struggle, get Randy Cunneyworth to drop the puck just outside the Flyers zone. There to take it was Eric Lindros who skated towards the Senators zone. Just inside, he fired a hard slapshot that Tugnutt had his eyes on but somehow he let it past between his pads and into the net.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Lindros_2_1_1-1.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Lindros_2_1_2-1.jpg" width="800" height="527" /><br /> <br /> The period didn't contain any penalties or any hard, physical play for that matter. But it didn't lack excitement though. Both teams displayed some fine hockey<br /> and it was speed and techique who were the two lead words here. Tom Chorske proved his skills in the first one as he took advantage of a Flyers mistake and got a breakaway. He was so close to get his second goal of the game but Ron Hextall made a great glove save. The minute after saw the Flyers score a goal they didn't really deserve. John LeClair struggled to get to the puck just outside the Senators zone and just as he got to it he was shoved in the back and pushed into the zone before the puck. But it was so close that nobody saw it and John LeClair took the puck and fired a slapshot that bounced off Tugnutt's blocker and into the net, making it 3-1 to the Flyers. <br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/LeClair_3_1_1.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/LeClair_3_1_2.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> It was not until after the goal that the Senators saw the offside on the replay and protested then, but it was too late. <br /> The Flyers went on trying to get another goal as Tugnutt didn't seem to on his game tonight. But the defense tightened up around him and no more goals were scored in the period. The shots were 11-7 to the Flyers.<br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><p><strong>Third Period</strong><br /> </p></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center">The Sens were still keeping up with the Flyers in the third but couldn't find an opening behind Ron Hextall, who were playing as solid as in the two previous periods.<br /> And just like in the second period, the third didn't contain any penalties and there was actually no to find for the referee. The Flyers, still with a two-goal lead, were trying to score the definate game-destroyer but Tugnutt were playing better now. But a goal was in the air and as the game were coming to and end, the crowd got to see two goals within a span of one minute thirty-seven seconds. The Flyers closed the game at 15:21 when Vaclav Prospal fired a one-timer from a pass from Petr Svoboda past Tugnutt, who was too slow in his lateral movement to get to the puck. <br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Prospal_4_1.jpg" /><br /> <br /> And the Senators finally found a hole on Hextall. Alexander Daigle was the one who scored the goal after skating all the way from his own zone, deking past several players in the Flyers and ending with a quick wristshot that Hextall didn't had a chance of taking. <br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Daigle_4_2.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> That was the final goal of the game and the crowd at the Corel Centre had to return to their homes in disappointment as the Flyers won over the Senators 4-2.<br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><strong>Post-game</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center">The Senators really made a comeback after their disastrous Game 2. They kept the same pace as the Flyers through the whole game. But the Flyers had two things that the Sens didn't have this game: good goaltending and defense. Ron Tugnutt didn't have his best game of the series. Both goals in the second period he should have had and perhaps the fourth one as well. But he also got little help from his defense. The Flyers offense could easily get into their zone on both sides and were mostly the first one's on the rebounds. The Flyers defense on the other hand played almost perfect. If you leave out the first goal, they made no mistakes. Kjell Samuelsson was one of the standouts. Not only did he go +1 but he also assisted on two of the goals and he should have earned one of the stars tonight. But just like through the rest of the season, he's making a great job in silence and let the other's get the headlines. </td> </tr> </table> <br /> <table border=1> <tr><td> OTTAWA</td><td

It was more disciplined defense rather than physical and only one penalty was found in the period, a hooking on Dale Hawechuk at 06:37. The Senators used this one-man advantage to take the lead in the game when Alexei Yashin took care of a rebound from a shot by Sergei Gonchar. <br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Yashin_0_1_1.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Yashin_0_1_2.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> No real scoring chances came after this for a couple of minutes. But the one that did came resulted in a goal. Chris Therien broke a pass just outside the Flyers zone and passed it to John LeClair who easily went into the zone and fired a slapshot past Ron Tugnutt at 16:06. <br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/LeClair_1_1_1-1.jpg" width="800" height="527" /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/LeClair_1_1_2-1.jpg" width="800" height="640" /> <br /> That was the last thing that happened in the period and the teams basically played the last minutes out. You couldn't put your finger on which team had the upper hand and neither on how the rest of the game would progress. It was a strange period that didn't lack excitement but was poor with chances.</td> </tr> <tr> <td height="21" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><strong>Second Period</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center">Things didn't start well for the Flyers here. Just 01:57 in, Daniel Alfredsson got by Mikael Renberg and fed a saucer pass to Wade Redden, who was all alone in front of Ron Hextall and he had no problems putting the one-timer past the goaltender. <br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Redden_1_2_1.jpg" width="800" height="527" /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Redden_1_2_2.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> The Flyers were put on the retreat after the goal after the Senators gained some good momentum of it. They had most of the chances after this, mostly thanks to the Flyers defense. The Senators kept firing long-distance shots on Hextall, and the few rebound he allowed they were first on and the Flyers defense was second on the puck constantly. But at least the Flyers defended themselves well while being shorthanded after Eric Lindros had recieved a minor for tripping at 13:30.<br /> The Senators kept on with their gameplan and the Flyers coach Terry Murray acted very passively as he didn't make any changed to try to break their momentum.<br /> And after stressing the Flyers to several mistakes, the Senators made it 3-1 at 18:31 when Denis Chasse lifted the puck over Ron Hextall after taking a rebound from Alexei Yashin.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/punxatawney/Chasse_1_3.jpg" width="800" height="640" /><br /> <br /> Disappointed of course by having to head to the dressing-room with a two-goal deficit in their back, the Flyers really had to change their gameplan<br /> if they would have any chance of winning this game. <br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><p><strong>Third Period</strong><br /> </p></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center">And they went out way more offensively than they had played earlier in the game. They gained some momentum early and put some pressure upon the Senators net. <br /> Ron Tugnutt had to make a diving save just three minutes in, when he left an easy rebound that Mikael Renberg was so close of reaching but Tugnutt managed to block it before he got to it. But as good as Tugnutt was, so was his defense. They helped him a lot of shutting down the Flyers offense and created some frustration among the players of the visting team. More physical play was expected from the Flyers when the clock was ticking closer to the end of the game but the spark just wasn't there tonight. The Senators could tie the series at two by winning this game 3-1<br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center" bgcolor="#0099ff"><strong>Post-game</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="3" align="center">Passiveness is the key to this loss tonight. Passive coaching was the main problem. Sticking to the gameplan is usually a good thing, as it helps getting the team to go the same way. But when things doesn't go as planned, the coach needs to change a thing or two to make it work. This didn't happened tonight. Apart from a apparent chance in the offensive in the third, Terry Murray made no changes when he needed to. This perhaps was the cause of the defensive playing so passive themselves, who knows. It is one thing that has to change though before the next game or the Flyers will suffer another loss and have a 3-2 deficit in the series to deal with.<br /></td> </tr> </table> <br /> <table
