Canadiens 3 Flyers 1

It Was Over When.....

Chris Higgins fired the Canadiens 3rd and final goal of the night into the Flyers empty net with 25 seconds left in the game, nullifying the Flyers virtually game ending 2 minute power play.

The Game Puck Goes To.....

The Canadiens penalty killing unit which killed off all 8 of the Flyer's power play chances. Thus far, the Canadiens have the best penalty killing unit in the NHL and they showed why tonight.

The Stat of the Game Is.....

0, as in 0 for 8 on the power play for the Flyers. When you get 8 power plays you have to be able to get at least 1 goal out of them and the Flyers just didn't so they lost.

The Bottom Line Is.....

Yes the Flyers are now just 1 and 3, but it's still early in the season and in the NHL every team has as good a chance to make playoffs as any of them do. Even the Flyers at 1 and 3, and with just 3 points on the season, would actually make playoffs as the 7th seed in the East if the season were to end now. Basically what I am saying is don't worry about the Flyers. They'll get it going soon enough.
