Flyers in similar position

Here we are again - the Flyers are one game away from elimination from the Stanley Cup playoffs.

The difference is that the Flyers were expected to win this year, yet they are on the verge of losing their first round series against a team they were 10 points better than during the regular season.

Once again, the Flyers are playing goalie roulette.  This time, Brian Boucher was pulled in the first period.  Enter Michal Leighton, who had played only one game with the club this season.

The Flyers dramatically came back from a 3-0 deficit, but came up short as Tyle Ennis scored an overtime goal on a juicy rebound a little more than five minutes into overtime.

Philadelphia must now win the next two games.

With Ryan Miller standing on his head every other game, this is not going to be an easy task.

The Flyers will need to show the same fight they did in their comeback bid tonight.  However, they will need to display a killer instinct.  Game five is in Buffalo on Sunday.

Just get to game seven and anything can happen.
