Sabres 5 Flyers 4 Final in OT

It Was Over When....

Daniel Briere scored his second goal of the night, just 21 seconds into the overtime period.

The Game Puck Goes To....

Well, it was going to go to Randy Robitaille who scored twice on the night and helped the Flyers take a 4-3 lead late in the 3rd period, but then Daniel Briere stepped in with just under 3:00 minutes to play and scored to tie it and then win it in overtime, so we'll have to give it to him instead.

The Stat Of the Game Is....

1, as in 1 point gained by the Flyers tonight to add to their league worst 7. Yes they lost, but they lost in overtime and as long you get to overtime you get 1 point, win or lose. So the Flyers now have 8 points on the season instead of 7. It's not a huge improvement but for this team it's a start.

The Bottom Line Is...,

This was actually a pretty good effort for the Flyers, considering they were without Peter Forsberg. Yes, they fell behind 3-0 as usual, but they kept at it and kept chipping away until they had the lead at 4-3 with just under 3 minutes to play, but of course you know the rest. Basically what I am saying is that even though this was a loss for the Flyers it was still an improvement over the way they have been playing, and who knows if they can keep playing like this, they might just be able to turn this thing around.
