FLYERS NEWS

Down 3-0 the Bruins again, the Flyers looked to produce a little deja vu tonight in game 4 but it wasn't to be. They fell behind early again, this time 1-0 through 1 period, but Sergei Bobrovsky stood tall otherwise, and kept them in it until Kris Versteeg could tie things up at about the 13 minute mark of the 2nd period. It stayed 1-1 into the 3rd period where a little under 3 minutes in the Flyers actually won a faceoff, but failed to get before it rolled out to Johnny Boychuck for a blast from the point that beat Bob top shelf. Really the shot was so fast there was nothing Bobrovsky could do about it. Later at about the 15 minute mark of the 3rd period Matt Carle turned the puck over at his own blue line and watched as Milan Lujic streaked in alone and beat Bobrovsky for a 3-1 lead. The desperate Flyers pulled Bob after that, but even with an extra attacker out there they didn't have the energy to fight back. 2 empty net goals later and the Flyers exited the playoffs with a whimper, falling 5-1 in game 4.
