FLYERS NEWS

Well the dream is finally dead for the Orange and Black. After a desperate win in game 4 the Flyers came into today needing another desperate win in game 5. Sadly, on this day no amount, of heart, determination, or desperation could save them. They were simply outclassed by the Pens. Early in the first period of play Ryan Malone scored on the power play for a 1-0 Pen's lead. Later in the period Evgeni Malkin scored for a 2-0 Pen's lead. Midway through the 2nd period of play, Marian Hossa scored for a 3-0 Pen's lead. Then late in the period Malone scored again, this time on the power play and Jordan Staal added another late goal for a 5-0 Pen's lead. Finally, early in the 3rd period of play Pascal Dupuis ended the embarrassment scoring for a 6-0 Pen's lead. From there, thanks to the dazzling play of Marc-Andre Fleury it stayed that way until the end for an embarrassing 6-0 Pen's win. So the Pen's advance to the Stanley Cup Finals while the Flyers' wild ride of a season is over. Better luck next year fellas.
