| | RD 1 Game 6 ResultsApril 28, 2009 - Matt LeaperPhiladelphia Flyers vs. Pittsburgh Penguins This was a fun game to watch. Both teams played well but in the end it was the drive of Pittsburgh to end the series. Onto the stats...
The Penguins looked to be in trouble after the first and even more so during the early stages of the second. Max Talbot tricked Carcillo into fighting and sparked the Penguins. Thats when the climb started and was capped off with about 3 minutes to go in the second period. At that point it was either teams game in the third and Pittsburgh just barely out smarted them. An icing call kept tired legs on the ice and the Pens put out the offense with Guerin, Crosby, Malkin, Orpik and Gonchar. An odd man break with Guerin darting to the net allowed Gonchar to rifle a puck high past Biron. The Flyers will definetly feel as if they had more to give but in the end they will have to realize that Pittsburgh is a formidable foe. The Pens will most likely work with the Power Play while they wait to see who and when the next series will start.
