Flyers Lose Game 1

May 11th 2008 03:57
In a game where the Flyers did have the lead, they wound up losing 4-2 to the Penguins in PIttsburgh. The Flyers had the lead early2-1 in the 1st period, after Mike Richards scored his 2nd goal of the night. However, the lead was short lived, as Sidney Crosby scored just several minutes later. The Flyers had a tough time containing stars Crosby and Evengi Malkin, who combined for 3 goals and an assist. The series is set to continue Sunday night, again in Pittsburgh, as the Flyboys will try not to fall to a 2-0 hole.

After the Penguins dispatched of the New York Rangers in 5 games, the Flyboys are set to meet them in the Conference Finals. Tough matchup for the Flyers, with the Penguins, I believe, being just as talented as any team in the East this year. The Flyers will come into the series as underdogs, for the third consecutive series. So...are the Penguins too talented, or are the Flyers on enough of a roll to get past Pittsburgh? What are the keys to the series?
First off, the Flyers need to stop the stars of the Penguins. Evengi Malkin and Sidney Crosby are two of the best players in the NHL, and have combined for 28 points in the playoffs thus far. Martin Biron needs to continue his fantastic play, because his counter part, Marc-Andre Fleury, has played just as well, if not better. It also wouldn't hurt if R.J. Umberger-who scored a ridiculous 8 goals in 5 games against Montreal-could continue his hot play. Overall, the Flyers have been great, but I just think Pittsburgh is too talented. I'm taking them in 6.
