Flyers vs Pittsburgh Penguins

This game showed more of the old time Flyers. While the Penguins scored first, the game ended with a score of 5-2. A lot of effort was put out by the whole team, goalie included. Bobrovsky had a total of 25 saves, and only let two in early in the game. There was a strong effort as far as shooting goals, which is probably why they won the game. They may not have been very organized, but they didn't need to be. Jeff Carter got the Flyers on the board and tied the game at one. Even though the Penguins scored again, the Flyers had the next, and last, four goals with Ville Leino having two of them. What happens when Ville shoots more instead of just passing? He scores more, a lot more. Common knowledge would say that he should shoot more, so lets hope he does. Bobrovsky made some extremely good saves, probably saving the game. At one point, he made three saves right in a row and kept the Flyers in the lead. Not only was defense defending better but the offense was playing more aggressively which resulted in the five goals. No doubt that this game was payback for their 2-1 shootout loss during the last game. It was also a low penalty game, but the Flyers still managed to score a powerplay goal for once. Overall, I felt that they played more like the team they were early in the season and I hope that they can play more like this during the playoffs instead of the way they have been playing.
