Elsewhere, the Philadelphia Flyers were eliminated by the New Jersey Devils last night. For once, this is a prediction I got right, but I certainly never expected the series to be so expedient.
While it is popular to ladle blame on Ilya Bryzgalov — and he deserves plenty of it — it should be noted that the Flyers defence was also quite inept at times.
I mean, Kimmo Timmonen passing the puck to Bryzgalov was not especially genius, now was it?
Overall, the Broadstreet Bullies have the second most giveaways in the post-season and also rank in the bottom-five for penalty killing and shots against. However, what is most telling is their inability to protect a lead.
The Flyers are a shocking 1-6 when scoring first.
Ouch.
