On this date in Flyers history: Joffrey Lupul wins game seven in overtime

The Flyers have enjoyed many dramatic runs in the Stanley Cup playoffs in their history, and have paired those runs with countless memorable goals and moments —with one of those moments coming on this very day back in 2008.

On April 22nd, the Flyers took themselves down to the wire in the form of a game seven in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinal against the Washington Capitals after they squandered a 3-1 series lead.

Mike Knuble’s double-overtime winner in game four gave the Flyers the commanding series lead before the Capitals battled back with wins in game five and six to force the decisive seventh game in their own building.
