Recap Notes: The Filthadelphia Flyers beat the Boston Bruins in a back and forth game that never should have even seen overtime.
Chris Pronger took a break from taking cheap shots long enough to beat Tuuka Rask with a slap shot to open the scoring. Bruins defender Derek Morris didn't want to be out done and soon after beat Ray Emery with an absolute laser of his own, tying the score and leaving Emery begging his dealer for a fix.
Boston went up 2-1 in the second on a Matt Hunwick goal, but then the Flyers scored two unanswered goals (Darroll Powe and Arron Asham) to put the Flyers up 3-2.
"Sniper" Steve Begin went back to work, scoring for the second time in two games to tie the score.
At different points in the game both Vladimir Sobotka and David Krejci made Ray Emery go to the ice way to early and had wide open nets up top... but decided it would be best to shoot the puck right into Emery's sprawled pads.
The third period was back and forth with both teams exchanging chances, and Boston call-up Trent Whitfield getting his ass kicked. Work on those fights buddy:
Late in the third the Bruins decided it would be a great idea to give Jeff Carter a shorthanded break away, but that wily Rask denied him like a woman denying Pierre McGuire to save the Bruins a point:
Nothing happened in the overtime period and they might as well have skipped it. Lets fast forward to the third round of the shootout. Neither team has scored. Claude Giroux puts on a clinic to put the Flyers up 1. Michael Ryder responds... beats Emery!!!.... the cruel sound of iron. Post. Game over.
