The Flyers bested the Washington Ovechkins in overtime last night, 3-2. Sure, some calls went our way. The game MVP was whichever Capitals defenseman plowed their goalie over to allow the second Flyers goal. The Flyers kept playing their semi-skilled game (throw the puck at the net, and let good things happen), and they prevailed.
Tip of the Cap: Joffrey Lupul, who scored the game winner in overtime. He's come back from some odd injuries this year (like a spinal cord contusion-ouch), and it's nice to see him get rewarded. Even if the goal was sort of crappy.
Wag of the finger: a)Shoanne Morrisonn. He's the afore-mentioned defenseman who crashed into Capitals goalie Cristobal Huet, allowing Sami Kapanen to score the Flyer's second goal.
b) Capitals fans. Way to show class by throwing things on the ice during the Flyer's celebration and postgame handshake. Funny, I didn't see anything about it in the news. I get the feeling things might have been different if it happened in Philly.
Quote of the Game: "We're a relatively new team . . . and you need things like this to really create a bond with your team."- Flyers Coach John Stevens
