By admin | May 17, 2010
Philadelphia Flyers wrapped up the series against Boston Bruins by 4-3. It was a remarkable fight back from the Bruins after being down 3-0 in the series.
Simon Gagne was impressive in the game when he scored on a power play, taking Fleys to a 4-3 victory in the Semifinals of the Eastern Conference. The Flyers will play against the eighth-seeded Montreal Canadiens.
In NHL history, The Bruins became the third team to lose a series after winning the first three games.
“The bottom line is we had a 3-0 lead in the series, we had a 3-0 lead tonight, and we blew them both, we have to take the responsibility that goes with it. Everyone “, said Boston coach Claude Julien.
When Richards’ shot from the right circle hit players in front of Tuukka Rask, the Flyers got a chance and capitalized on it. Gagne flipped the puck over the goalie’s right shoulder with 18 seconds left in the power play. After returning from a toe injury for Game 4, Gagne had four goals.
Just like the Flyers, Toronto Maple Leafs and New York Islanders are the only other teams to win a series after trailing 3-0.
Call in the 1979 Stanley Cup semifinals against Montreal, Boston was hurt by the same too-many-men-on-the-ice call.
Hartnell was penalized for high-sticking and 8 seconds later Ryder scored his fourth playoff goal on a rebound, this is when Boston got a break. 3 minutes later, Lucic scored another goal in the Bruins power play. Van Riemsdyk scored a goal just after Lucic’s second goal shot followed by Hartnell’s second goal of the playoffs, and on a wraparound, Briere’s seventh playoff goal was scored.
“We have been resilient all year, whether it was injuries or putting ourselves in a bad position in the standings, we’ve been through a lot together. Our mindset was that if we were going to go down, we were going to go down swinging “, said captain Mike Richards.
