The Prince of Wales Trophy will be at the Wachovia Center on Monday night. If the Flyers put together a game similar to the one they played on Saturday afternoon, there's a very strong chance that the trophy will join them in a post-game ceremony. Believe it or not, your Philadelphia Flyers are a win away from the Stanley Cup Finals.
And to get there, they needed a perfect road game in a hostile Bell Centre. Despite sandy skates (sabotage!?), a raucous atmosphere and equipment malfunctions, the Flyers weathered an early storm from the Habs and by the end of a scoreless first period, things seemed a lot calmer.
The Flyers began to control play, the crowd got quieter and it was only a matter of time in the second period, where Philadelphia wound up outshooting Montreal 13-1, that they'd finally get one through. It came on a gorgeous move by Claude Giroux, who danced around Josh Gorges to beat Halak top shelf, where momma hides the grilled cheese.
1-0 Flyers, and from there, the Habs looked defeated. They play a completely different hockey game when they are down and it showed once again today. Ville Leino would add to the goal total before the end of the period, burying a breakaway chance generated by a beautiful Chris Pronger outlet pass.
Montreal tried to fight back in the third period, but Leighton was the answer for the Flyers, who did the little things that you need to do to win hockey games on the road in the playoffs. They kept the Habs to the outside, they pestered them at the blue line, they won battles in the corners and the blocked shots and pass attempts.
As a result, Leighton became the first Flyer goaltender to ever record three shutouts in a playoff series. The Philadelphia Flyers are a win away from the Stanley Cup Finals. Let it sink in.
After the jump, questions with answers and the comment of the day.
Questions with Answers
- The Flyers were furious with themselves after their lackluster performance in Game 3, saying that they'd come out firing in today's Game 4. Do they walk the walk? Montreal was solid early, but the Flyers had the answers. They weathered the expected storm and in the end, they certainly did walk the walk.
- Is Ian Laperriere actually returning, or is RDS a terrible news organization? Lappy was back. Lappy was Lappy.
- Can the Flyers stop the ole-ing with the ever important first goal? Yes, and boy, was it huge. Completely eliminated Montreal from the hockey game.
- Montreal was blazing fast in Game 3. Will the Flyers slow them down? Yep. Pronger was a force all night long, and on the whole, the Flyers didn't give Montreal too much time to fiddle with the puck.
- Chris Pronger was atrocious on Thursday. He rebounds, right? Pronger might've been the best Flyer on the ice today.
- New win streak begins today? Let's hope so. Five wins to go.

For what it’s worth, the Canadians are 5-0 in games where they can be eliminated…
But then again, the Flyers are 6-0(including last game of the season) in elimination games so…advantage US!!

I’m not too worried; I would have preferred Leights to get a bit more shots (17?!), but hey, a win’s a win.
Laviolette should be in the Jack Adams running, but alas…
I am always happy with a ridiculously low shots against total.

Sure, the less shots the less chances for a goal, easiest math there is but sometimes it seems like the less shots the goalie sees, the more weak goals they give up due to not being sharp.

Especially this year, there are very few award nominees left in the playoffs.
Off the top of my head I can only think of Kieth.

and to think mike green is a nominee for the norris trophy. are you kidding me? now im not saying he is bad but if you win/are nominated for that trophy you should be the best dman on any team youre put on. look at phi and chi for example, green would maybe be 3rd dman. i would be embarrassed if i were the media after watching him in the playoffs
Players like Green are the medias job security.
The writers chose the finalist, and by picking a player like him, they have guaranteed themselves at least 25 opportunities to write articles over the slow summer that always to troll up extreme opinions from the readers.
Its a sham to keep them from having to actually think and be original.

Did Paul Coffee win any Norris’? He was an awful defensman in the same was Green/Keith are, but he is a hall of famer.
"Shugah n' rainbows"
"We will steal the show, jolly Rogers go, we are wolves of the sea."
"Werwolf Bar Mitzvah. Spooky Scary. Boys becoming men. Men becoming wolves."
I believe 2 Norris trophies. And really don’t sell Coffee short Greene can not hold his jock for all-a-round talent, skating ability and defensive decision making.
Just Call Me "M"!
He has 5 seasons over 100 points, and 1 season he hit 138 (he won when he had 121 pts and 138 pts in those back to back years). He also won in the lockout year, 94/95 with 58 points in 45 games. Even if you think he was a glorified Mike Green, his numbers are Mike Greene on a double douse of steroids. Plus I’m not old enough to really comment on how good he was defensively, b/c being born in ‘80, I was 5 when he was in his prime winning the Norris in back to back years, and I’m pretty sure you are even younger than I am, so I’m not sure how you can say Coffey was awful??
Also, you think Keith is bad???? That’s pretty insulting to put him in the Green category.
This really depends on the goalie Leighton seems to be fine with staying sharp (please see example Bruins-Flyers game 5 Stanley Cup Playoff quarterfinals series).

The FairWeather Channel - Sports Comics and Bandwagon Forecast
Trying not to get ahead of myself here (or jinx the boys), but is anyone else really excited about the prospect of a Blackhawks/Flyers matchup? I feel like — even though I’m sure nobody thought so before the playoffs — that this is the best possible matchup the NHL could have hoped for. These teams are mirror images:
-Young core of players with good vets mixed in.
-Lots of stars but no superstars (a la Ovie/Crosby…even though Toews has been a monster this postseason, he still seems under the radar)
-3 good scoring lines, shutdown checking line
-Solid defensemen
-Hot but unproven (as of the start of the playoffs) goalies
-Good teams that seem to be forgotten amongst the Caps/Pens/Red Wings love fest that is the NHL..and to that note, the cities seem to sometimes get second-citizen status amongst the New Yorks, Bostons, and LAs of the world, as well.
-Both teams previously made a conference finals (Flyers in ’08, Hawks in ’09) but seemed lucky/just happy to be there at the time.
-Long Cup droughts.
-Both teams may have big salary cap issues moving forward.
I’m sure I missed other similarities, (or if you disagree, maybe I’ve seen things I shouldn’t have) but I’ve felt for the last couple years these two teams have been eerily similar. It should be exciting to see them on the ice together if it happens. (knock on wood, cross fingers, etc)
I agree that this is going to be one heck of a matchup.
The teams are indeed very similar, but I like our chances a whole heck of a lot more with Carter and Lappy back in the lineup. You could almost see the collective “ahh shiiit” from the Canadiens when they found themselves facing two key guys that they haven’t seen yet in the playoffs. It certainly was huge that they both played well under the circumstances.
The scariest thing right now is Niemi, who is playing some of the best goal tending I’ve seen. His control of rebounds is a thing to behold, and the Sharks literally threw everything they had at them in game 3, and couldn’t solve him. The matchups will be very interesting.
Of course we still have a game 5 to win, and I’m hoping the Sharks can at least put some doubt in there, with a win or 2. They were pretty crushed by the overtime loss, but perhaps pride will figure into it, and they’ll be able to swing a little momentum their way. Patrick Marleau has been incredible in a losing effort.
Awesome game. Missed a large portion of it due to helping my mom with something and packing for my trip, but still. Grilled cheese man is great.
Now I hope the next game goes well. I’ll miss it by a day because I’ll be overseas by the time it starts. Here’s to the Flyers making it the the Finals and here’s to me hopefully being able to see at least one Stanley Cup Game (AKA let’s hope the Blackhawks don’t sweep so that the series gets extended and pushes the Finals back a few extra days.)
Ian Laperriere (EE-an luh-PAIR-ee-YAIR), proper noun
Definition: Bad-assery on skates
great team effort
what a great experience to see this story unfold in front of your eyes, what a bunch of studs, superhuman clutch playing, Carter busting down the middle, Leighton throwing a shutout, the D was stifling, Pronger/Timmo were huge with a great assist and a number of important pokechecks that stopped fast-moving movement into the zone
I would destroy Iowa for more 5 wins
Is it me or does Hartnell look like a marionette with a few strings missing? Had he hurt Leino with that takeout, I would organize a nonprofit devoted to overruling his NTC.
Leave Hartnell alone. He’s been playing great in the playoffs, working hard, and he sent one hell of a message at the end of last game when he wailed on Hamrlik like a madman. He was like sandpaper today, giving little digs and crosschecks, without going overboard. Considering the abysmal season he had this year, his level of play in the playoffs has been one of the many reasons we’re one game from the Cup finals.

Flyers and Blue Jackets...nuff said.
I also want to know what this is about. And also, how was Carter?
New Zealand's 4th best Philadelphia Flyers fan
Can’t speak on the sand (or whatever it was) but Carter looked pretty good. No points, but had a nice breakaway where he split the defense in the first and got a nice shot in on Halak.
He looked better than I expected him to, I think. His shifts were short, but he did seem to make the most of them. Tied with Richards for the most shots, and I think he led the Flyers in hits? Definitely a good sign that he may be a bit closer to 100% than we thought.
by Ben Feldman on May 23, 2010 11:20 AM EDT up reply actions
I thought the same thing. I was just as encouraged by his hit on Moore as the beautiful deke he made before breaking in on Halak – both maneuvers could only be performed by someone at, or not far from, 100%.
Still, Lavvy used him just right in the game, i.e., short shifts only. I’m as glad as everyone else that he looked good in his first game back. I hope he’s even better on Monday.

That’s just messed up. It’s not just “wierd” (sic) (I guess she’s right – the word is properly spelled “weird”).
She can’t be an authentic Bruins fans if she roots for the Canadiens ever.
Still, denial can be an awfully powerful force. Even if the Canadiens came back, Boston still lost a series after being up 3-0. That doesn’t go away.
Poor girl… How is she going to feel if we’re in the SCF?

Her posts were typically “Flyers suck, Boston is so much better. Your players are all dirty. You suck, we rule”
To which Travis would admonish her, and she would respond, “No! I was just joking, honest. No hard feelings.”
And the cycle would continue.

She fully believed that Travis was building an “Anti-Savard missile.” I know it is not always easy to pick up sarcasm, but her inability to pick up on the most obvious sarcastic statements still has my mind blown.
Proudly supporting a Flyers team with "no honor."
Her comments were on the same level of what one might find on WaitingForBeiber. Very rarely, if ever, was an actual point made with any kind of logic or reasoning, and all retorts were at the level of “Nuh-uh!” or “Because!” and done en masse.
To me, it was not so much trolling as much as being extremely annoying.
"I did my walk of shame this morning and everyone was so much nicer," she said. "People were inviting me to parties at 9 a.m."
Awesome game
I’m still amazed at that Pronger to Leino pass then goal. It was beauty on ice.

I didn’t get to watch the game because I am moving and the DirecTV guy didn’t show up at my new place until right when the game ended so can someone please tell me how Carter looked and who did he play with for the most part?
Carter was on the wing with Ricahrds and Gagne, and he looked much better than I expected. He absolutely embarrassed one Habs defender and got a breakaway. He also played very physical, destroyed one Hab in open ice, and had another solid check in the defensive zone that led to a turnover and an opportunity to clear the zone.
