Flyers 3 Blue Jackets 2
It Was Over When....
Mike Richards scored two minutes into the 3rd period to give the Flyers a 3-2 lead. The Blue Jackets are just about the only team that has played worse than Flyers have this season, so you knew when the Flyers finally took the lead it would stand up.
The Game Puck Goes To....
Peter Forsberg and Freddy Meyer with a goal and an assist each. Oddly enough, Meyer assisted on Forsberg's goal and Forsberg returned the favor on Meyer's goal.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
41, as in 41 shots on goal for the Blue Jackets, and 39 as in 39 saves for Flyers Goalie Antero Niittymaki. Basically what I am saying is, kudos to Niittymaki, for surviving 41 shots on goal.
The Bottom Line Is....
At this point any win for the Flyers is huge, since they're not likely to get many of them. However, since the Blue Jackets came into this game as the only team in the NHL with a worse record than Flyers this win was expected and it was sweet revenge over newly signed Blue Jackets head coach , Ken Hitchcock. So Kudos to the Flyers for giving me something else to be thankful for this thanksgiving, a Flyers win.
