EPIC!

Opposing Ilya Bryzgalov as Philadelphia Flyers' goalie since June 23, 2011.

Brings back memories of a Braydon Coburn goal a few years ago, after a lenghty shift in the other teams zone.

I forget who it was against. But Mike Knuble was on the ice for that one, too.

Posting all the way from sunny Manchester, England.

That was “The shift” against Buffalo during the 2008-09 season. The Flyers kept the puck in Buffalo’s end for almost 1:30.

Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?

In the first sequence in the Washington end they manage to get Simmonds on the ice replacing Voracek while Talbot and JvR are keeping the puck in their zone.

/s, more often than not

This is exactly the type of play the Flyers will need in the absence of Giroux’s individual genius. Timonen playmaking from the blueline and beyond like a champion, dominating board play from the big forwards, Simmonds, Voracek, and JVR, and incessant pressure all-around.

Seeing Dale Hunter’s sour puss face was priceless. I hated him when he played.

Anyone remember the media questioning the flyers youth, and who was going to score behind Giroux? I think this is answers their questions pretty well…
