Flyers Defining Meaning of “Team”, Force Game Six
NHLHS writer David Strehle takes a look at Philadelphia’s big 4-0 victory in Boston Monday night to again avoid elimination, and examines the process of how an inconsistent Flyers team may be coming together just at the right time.
The Philadelphia Flyers have had some special teams through the years, teams that hold a place in the heart of the Philly faithful. Even teams that have not won the Stanley Cup are held in high esteem, right up there with the Cup-winners of 1974 and 1975.

Bruins Beat Flyers, 4-1, Lead Series 3-0
NHLHS writer David Strehle breaks down game three, a contest which started out very well for the Orange-and-Black. But in the end, it was an all too familiar result.
One thing the Philadelphia Flyers were not able to achieve in the first two games of the series in Boston was to play with a lead. Games one and two saw the contests either tied or the Flyers playing from behind.
As the scene shifted to Philadelphia last night, many of the players had mentioned that to grab a lead would be the key to getting back into the series.

Rangers Shot Down
NHLHS writer Brandon Augienello gives his final recap on the New York Rangers final game of the 2009-10 regular season.
The surprising last minute run by the Rangers forced the most critical regular season finales in recent memory.
The Philadelphia Flyers, trying to stave off these pesky Blueshirts, locked in a points tie, played a winner takes all Game 82, to see who has the right to compete for Lord Stanley’s silver chalice.
It’s too bad only one team showed up.
