Flyers 7 Ducks 4
It Was Over When....
The first period ended. The Flyers spent most of the period on the power play and took advantage of it, scoring 5, yes that's right 5 goals in the period, all against overmatched Ducks goalie Jean-Sebastian Giguere.
The Game Puck Goes To....
Peter Forsberg, with a goal and an assist, Simon Gagne with a goal and an assist, Sami Kapanen with 2 goals, Mike Knuble with a goal and an assist, Geoff Sanderson with a goal and an assist, Joni Pitkanen with 2 assists, Randy Robitaille with 2 assists, and Petr Nedved with 2 assists.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
7, as in 7 goals on the night for the Flyers as a team. This is the first time all year that they have scored more than 4 goals in a game.
The Bottom Line Is....
No that score at the top of this report is not a typo, the Flyers actually won for a change, and boy did they win. I mean they scored 7 goals against the best defensive team in the league thus far. You'd think if the Flyers can do that, then why can't they can't do it every night and win every game. Unfortunately things don't quite work like that, but hey who knows maybe this means the Flyers can actually turn things around.
