Philadelphia Flyers vs. Chicago Blackhawks – Game 5 Review
By admin | June 7, 2010
In the 2010 Stanley Cup playoffs, on Sunday, June 6th, the greatest rivals, Philadelphia Flyers and Chicago Blackhawks met up. It was the 5th game of the series. The home team has won the first four games in the series, each time. Chicago beat Philadelphia with a score of 7-4. Flyers failed to change the winning streak of the Blackhawks.
The funny side of the game was the way the defense of both the teams worked. Both the teams tried a lot to keep a check on their respective defenses but neither Chicago nor Philadelphia managed to impressive. Since defense was not working for either team, offense was the key factor. Chicago’s offense was overwhelming for Flyers and it was the offense that made the difference according to Hockey Previews.
Star Goalie for Chicago, Antti Niemi allowed 4 and made 23 saves. His presence gives a lot of boost to the team and one can say that it was his goal keeping skills that has enabled Chicago to reach at this point in the season. Even though Philadelphia made use of two goalkeepers, unfortunately each of them allowed three goals. Dustin Byfuglien scored two goals and also added to two assists. He was an unlikely hero for the Blackhawks. As the game ended, 6 different players from the Blackhawks’ squad scored goals. For Philadelphia the players who impressed the most were, Kimmo Timonen. He was a standout player by adding an assist and importantly scoring a goal.
Aggressive play will be the deciding factor for both the teams as both the team are struggling in their defensive strategies. Blackhawks with their offensive play gave them an edge over the Flyers. The game needs to be action-packed and Flyers need to prove a point.
