First off, Flyers played a hell of a game. I didn't know they could skate like that given that they're known for their physical game. Credit them for their 2-0 lead after the first.
Enter the Kostityn duo and what a start for them in the second. Biron's save on the penalty shot was nothing short of stellar with that backward's butterfly but Andrei came back with a nice effort from Sergei to cut the lead to 1.
I Don't think Kovalev's tying goal was legit. Looked like his stick hit the top of the net after he batted the puck but whatever. Pretty disappointing for Flyer's faithful. Maybe, after hitting two posts in the first, luck decided to go Montreal's way.
Lupul's goal had the Flyers going again on a Montreal penalty and then Mike Richards. It was a penalty they would've called in the regular season so why change it in the playoffs. I mean, it was untimely and all but each team was called for two penalties apiece throughout the game so the refs were trying to let them play. We had Kovalev rushing up the ice so what's Richards going to do. He'll try to stop him and he put too much body into it including a bit of his knee and there's the penalty, a good one albeit on Richard's part. Kovalev scores and the rest is history. This series will be ugly.

Hey thanks for the game summary Glenn. Glad Montreal won

Flyers were amazing - they brought way more than i thought they could. Biron was phenomenal at the start.
Like the commentator said, you'd think the Flyers would be the tuckered out ones, the habs would be ready to roll - but it seemed the opposite - until the Kostitysyn brothers lit the fire, and Kovalev is such a burst of energy.
I think that goal was legit, btw. they replayed a million times, and it is hard to make out, but I'm going with the ref on this one.
And the final penalty on Richards - he did deserve that call, he tripped him on purpose, the knee gets pushed out.
But how great is it, if this series has every game like this game.

[Oli Jokinen!]

Flyers played good offensively, but I don't think Biron was great.

[blueandwhite]

he seemed really on his game at the start.

yeah, thrilling game anyway. Entertaining start to the second round and it'll get even better tonight. Pens, Rangers will be a great series.
