Penguins 8 Flyers 4
It Was Over When....
The second period ended. The two teams went back and forth in the 1st period with the Penguins holding a tenuous 3-2 lead at the end of the period. However the 2nd period was all Penguins, as they scored 3 goals in the period for a 6-2 lead after 2 periods.
The Game Puck Goes To....
Sergei Gonchar with 2 goals and 3 assists and Sidney Crosby with 1 goal and 5 assists.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
8, as in 8 goals on the night for the Penguins (3 power play, 1 shorthanded, and 4 at full strength). Basically, the Penguins just have too much firepower right now for a struggling team
like the Flyers to handle.
The Bottom Line Is....
It's been clear all season that there are holes a plenty in the Flyer's defense, and the Penguins simply exposed them tonight. I mean, the Penguins have killed the Flyers all season so far and things didn't change tonight. Until Peter Forsberg returns, the Flyers will have no chance of matching up with any team like the Penguins which can fly around the ice and score almost at will. So all I can say is Forsberg better get those new skates soon, before the Flyers' season goes back down the drain.
