FLYERS NEWS

After an agonizing game 2 loss the Flyers had to recuperate quickly as they traveled to Boston for a game 3 they absolutely had to win. Unfortunately like game 1 they hit the snooze button and watched as Boston jumped out to a 2-0 lead just over a minute into the contest. Frankly they never really recovered after that. By the about the 15 minute mark of the second period it was 4-0 Bruins and Brian Boucher's night was over. Sergei Bobrovsky replaced him and looked pretty good stopping 7 of 8 shots. Meanwhile Bobrovsky's entry into the game finally seemed to spur the Orange and Black on a bit as Andrej Meszaros finally put them on board and cut the lead to 4-1 heading into 3rd period. Unfortunately, The Boston defense tightened up from there and the Flyers never threatened or scored again. Instead they watched as Boston finally scored their first power play goal of the post season to cap off a 5-1 win. Of course now that we're down 3-0 again we've got Boston right where we want them so no worries.
