The Flyers played game 5 of their opening playoff series with the Penguins. Down 3-1 in the series they had to win to stay alive and stay alive they did. When they had to have it, Marty Biron gave them the best game of his life, saving all 28 shots he faced, for just his 2nd ever playoff shutout. It was not just Biron though who came to play. As a team the Flyers played with increased intensity and energy, the likes of which they hadn't displayed all series long. Clearly they still believe they can win the series, and if they can keep up this kind of play they might still have a chance. Anyway, getting back to tonight, because Biron pitched a shutout the Flyers didn't need to come up with much offense but they did anyhow. Early in the 2nd period Arron Asham scored for a 1-0 lead. Early in the 3rd period Claude Giroux scored for a 2-0 lead. Finally late in the 3rd period Mike Knuble slapped home a rebound to cap off a 3-0 Flyers win. So the Orange and Black cut the series lead to 3-2 and now return to the Wachovia center looking to force a decisive game 7.
