This is it, folks. Win or go home.
After a deflating Game 4 defeat, the Philadelphia Flyers now trail the New York Islanders 3-1 in their best-of-seven series. It was clear that this series wouldn’t be an easy one for the Flyers, but it’s hard to imagine anyone envisioning them falling into a two-game hole against a team that, on paper, seems so inferior. However, Isles head coach Barry Trotz has his team playing some exceptional hockey, and now it’s up to the Flyers to rally the troops and make this a series again.
