Leighton's best game as a Flyer

I can't remember the last time the Flyers won a shootout, honestly, but I also can't remember a goalie performing as badly in one as Michael Leighton did last night. He committed to Gagne's shootout attempt REALLY REALLY EARLY and wound up out between the faceoff circles while Gags tossed it into the empty net. It would be the game winner, as Mike Richards would score and Niittymaki would make three stops to secure the victory.

This was the game we came back from a 5-1 deficit in the 3rd period.

Heh, you really went back in the archives, huh? That’s before BSH, even.

I was watching the Sharks game, and they almost came back from a 4-0 deficit in the 3rd period. So I remembered back to the Carolina game and just wanted to see if there was an article on it, and then I saw the Leighton reference and I cracked up.
