For Philly, this series started like the last one: an overtime win. Unlike the last series, they lost 4 in a row afterwards. Game 2 was the started of the Flyers declined, as they tried to coast on a 1-goal lead and end up losing 4-1. The closest the Flyers came to winning another game was in Game 3, but Alex Ponikarovsky (remember him Leaf fans?) scored in overtime. The story of Game 4 was Giroux's headshot on Zubrus and was suspended for a game. Game 5 was it for the Flyers. Bryzgalov had a horrible pass bounce off David Clarkson for the winning goal and Kovalchuk added an insurance marker in the third. The Devils are back in the Eastern Final for the first time since they won the Cup back in 2003. The Flyers, meanwhile, are going to go out and buy another goalie this offseason.

Three Thoughts On The Series
- Proof that Flyers fans can't get past their win against the Pens in the first round: Crosby Tears. No gonna lie, I kind of want to try it.
- Proof Russians don't only care about the World Championship: "For the first time in nine years, I'm not going to the World Championship, so it's fun," - Kovalchuk
- Last time I checked, the "best player in the world" leads their team to a championship and not get suspended for a crucial elimination game.
Another thing about the "best player in the world", aren't they suppose to be the ones getting the headshots, not giving them?
Bryz has a question for Clarkson: Why you heff to block my pass?
