Devils 3 Flyers 2
It Was Over When....
Jim Dowd scored a shorthanded goal early in the 3rd period. At this point anytime the Flyers fall behind in the 3rd period it's pretty much over, even if there are still 12 minutes to play
The Game Puck Goes To....
Sergei Brylin with a goal and an assist, and goalie Martin Brodeur who recorded his record 48th win of the season, stopping 34 of the 36 shots he faced. Of course the former recorder holder for wins in a season was Bernie Parent, yes that one the Flyers legend, with 47 wins back in 1974, when, mind you, games could still end in a tie. That's right Parent never had a chance to add some shootout wins to his tally, asterisk anyone?
The Stat Of The Game Is....
48, as in a record 48 wins on the season for Devils' goalie Martin Brodeur. Yeah he took our guy Bernie's record and helped the Devils win the division on our home ice and we had a chance to stop him, but didn't. Yep, it doesn't get much worse than that.
The Bottom Line Is....
Once again the Flyers played well, but once again they also made stupid mistakes and lost.
