FLYERS NEWS

Flyers 5 Hurricanes 2
It Was Over When....
The Flyer's Mike Knuble scored on the Hurricane's empty net with under 1 minute to play in the 3rd period. At the time it was 4-2 Flyers and the Hurricanes and their fans still had hope for a late rally but after Knuble's goal all hope was lost.
The Game Puck Goes To....
Peter Forsberg with 3 assists and Todd Fedoruk with 2 assists, and goalie Robert Esche who recorded 40 saves for the second game in a row . Incredibly, the Flyers 5 goals on the night were scored by 5 different players so we'll also collectively give a game puck to all the Flyers goal scorers on the night.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
19 and 5 as in a measily 19 shots on goal and an impressive 5 goals for the Flyers on the night. The Hurricanes on other hand fired a whopping 42 shots on goal yet came away with only 2 goals. Basically, the Flyers just took better advantage of their opportunities on the night.
The Bottom Line Is....
This is another big win for the Flyers and their 2nd in a row, not bad considering that they just endured a franchise record 10 game losing streak, but hey Forsberg is back in the lineup now and all that seems to be behind them and hopefully as long as Forsberg stays healthy the Flyers will keep winning.
