Flyers 5 Thrashers 2

It Was Over When....
The 3rd period began. The Flyers trailed 2-1 going into the 3rd period but by the time it ended they had rallied for 4 unanswered goals and a their first victory when trailing after 2 periods.
The Game Puck Goes To....
Dmitri Afanasenkov who scored the Flyers first goal of the night and assisted on what turned out to be Mike York's game winning goal early in the 3rd period.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
4, as in 4 goals scored by the Flyers in the 3rd period of tonight's game, to 0 scored by the Thrashers. I mean anytime you outscore the opposition 4-0 in any period of the game you have to feel good about your chances to win.
The Bottom Line Is....
I don't know what it is about the Thrashers but it seems like every time the Flyers play them something good happens. If only every game could be against the Thrashers, the Flyers might not be so bad, but unfortunately not every game is against the Thrashers and the Flyers really are that bad.
