Ryan brings it again and with it….a series?
The Morning After:
Last night’s scores:
Flyers 4, Blackhawks 3 (OT)
Predictions record: 1-0
My 3 stars from last night:
1. Claude Giroux, PHI (1 Goal, 2 Assists)
Giroux recorded 3 points, including the game-winner in overtime.
2. Scott Hartnell, PHI (1 Goal, 1 Assist)
Hartnell played a solid all-around game, picking up six hits and goal. He also made a beautiful pass to set-up Briere’s goal.
3. Patrick Kane, CHI (1 Goal, 1 Assist)
Despite the losing effort, Kane finally arrived in this series.
Unsung hero of the night:
Ville Leino… Leino continues to impress in these playoffs, and had another great game last night. He led all Flyers forwards in ice-time, and also scored a momentum-changing goal in the third. Not enough people talk about Leino’s emergence since arriving in Philly.
‘RLD Game-Changing Performance’ of the night:
Ville Leino… Leino also delivered in the clutch for the Flyers. His aforementioned third period goal came 20 seconds after Chicago took a 3-2 lead. For those few moments, the air was sucked out of Wachovia Center. But Leino changed that and propelled the Flyers into overtime – where they eventually won.
