Do the Flyers Have a Chance to Get Back in the Series?


Down in a 2-0 hole is not where every team wants to be. It would be nice for them to get a road win so that they can feel good about themselves. That's where the Philadelphia Flyers want to be. After a give-up goal late into the 3rd period by the Boston Bruins has put them in the 2-0 hole. Now they go back to Philadelphia where they can try to do some damage. It's not going to be tough for the Bruins to put down the Flyers early. The Devils tried to do that, and it ended up in them getting eliminated in five games by the Flyers. I believe that there is a legitimate chance that the Flyers can actually pull it together and win some games at home, but it's going to be tough. They had close games in Boston, so it should be a little easier for the Flyers to try to get those wins. The offense of Philadelphia will need to pull it together and that means more goal production out of players like Mike Richards and Claude Giroux and a healthy Brian Boucher in net. Brian Boucher does seem to lose his focus a little and that results in opposing goals, but I do know head coach Peter Laviolette will not let that happen in Games 3 & 4. Let's see what happens. I don't expect Philadelphia to try to win over Boston, but it'll be nice to see them at least take the series a little farther.
