Buckle up everyone, we’ve got Game Sevens galore!
Despite being on the wrong side of lopsided shot clocks, the Philadelphia Flyers and Vancouver Canucks pulled through to knot up their respective second-round playoff series. Let’s go over how they did it.
Thursday’s Games
Philadelphia Flyers 5, New York Islanders 4 (2OT), Series tied 3-3
As mentioned before, the shots were well in favour of the Islanders in this game; 53-31 to be exact. Despite the uphill battle, the score was rather back-and-forth, with the Flyers going up 2-0 early on, only to blow that lead early in the second period, and a poorly timed challenge by Alain Vigneault resulted in the Islanders taking the lead shortly after.
