Can Flyers respond to Canadiens in Game 3?

Some storylines have emerged in Eastern Conference playoff series between the Montreal Canadiens and Philadelphia Flyers as they head into Game 3 in Toronto knotted at one win each.

The Canadiens have found a source of inspiration -- playing for coach Claude Julien, who returned home to Montreal on Thursday after feeling chest pains and having a stent surgically placed in a coronary artery. Julien's team responded Friday with a 5-0 pasting of the Flyers in Game 2.

"It's hard anytime someone who is part of your team is sick or in the hospital," Canadiens defenseman Ben Chiarot told reporters.
