Devils 4 Flyers 3 Final in a shootout

It Was Over When....

the Devils Brad Lukowich scored with just over 2 minutes left in the 3rd period, to tie the game at 3 and effectively send it into overtime. So far this season the Flyers have not fared very well, in the extra period and beyond, so just having to play in overtime significantly reduced their chances of winning this one.

The Game Puck Goes To....

The Devil's Zach Parise who scored both the Devils first goal of the night, and the game winner in the shootout.

The Stat Of The Game Is....

0, as in o goals scored by the Flyers during the shootout, pretty pathetic considering their two shooters were the normally reliable Petr Nedved and Simon Gagne.

The Bottom Line Is....

Ugggh, I can't believe the Flyers lost tonight. I mean, they are so close to breaking open a long winning streak. If they could just get one or two more things to go their way, they'd be good. Seriously though, doesn't it always seem like every Flyers' loss happens because of some sort of freak accident. Take tonight for example, the Flyers were up 3-2 with just over 2 minutes to play, and were on the power play, so it was pretty much okay game's over the Flyers are going to win right? wrong, because at that instant, Brad Luckovich somehow slips behind the Flyer's man-advantage defense and scores to tie the game while shorthanded. I mean think about it, who else would blow a 3-2 lead with just over 2 minutes to play on a shorthanded goal, but the Flyers. Really who? just tell me who? no one that's who.
