They did it, folks! The Flyers survived their first round series and knocked the Montreal Canadiens off after six games. It wasn’t a pretty series, and the same was true of last night’s game, but the Flyers were able to eke out a win, hanging on by the skin of their teeth after blowing an early game two goal lead. It got a little dicey more than a few times, but it was, if only barely, enough.
Before we pivot and get to talking about the Flyers’ Round 2 series against the Islanders, let’s put a bow on this one and get to some notes from last night’s game.
