Before the beginning of this game, the Philadelphia Flyers seemed like they would match up to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Brian Elliott got the start for the Flyers in the net in a head to head battle against a stellar goaltender, Matt Murray. With the effort that Elliott had been showing, there was a feeling of confidence among Philadelphia. Very quickly, that all went out the door. It’s fitting that this game against the Penguins was during the Halloween season because it was the scariest thing I’ve watched in October.
In front of a sellout crowd at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the Pittsburgh Penguins dominated the Philadelphia Flyers and showed no ounce of mercy.
