Flyers 3 Thrashers 2

It Was Over When.....

The shootout following the end of regulation ended. The Flyers went up 2-1 in the shootout on goals by Peter Forsberg and Simon Gagne, and then Goalie Antero Niittymaki saved the next 2 Thrashers shots to seal the 3-2 win.

The Game Puck Goes To.....

The captain Peter Forsberg who scored 2 goals on the night. He scored his first goal early in the 3rd period, and then wound up scoring the final and winning goal in the shootout.

The Stat of The Game Is.....

1, as in 1 power play goal on 2 chances for the night for the Flyers to 0, for the Thrashers on 4 chances for the night. In just about every game up until now, that stat had gone the other way for the Flyers, as they continually failed to take advantage of their power play chances. Tonight however, they took advantage of 1 their 2 opportunities, while killing off all of the Thrasher's opportunities, and what do you know they won.

The Bottom Line Is.....

Well, all I can say is thank God the Flyers finally got another win. Maybe a new GM and head coach is just what the doctor ordered for the Flyers after all.
