Flyers Hope to Avoid First Playoff Deficit: A Fan's Preview The Philadelphia Flyers have been in control of their own destiny for most of the Stanley Cup playoffs. So far, although Flyers fans like myself have seen the team face countless early deficits in games, they haven't been behind in a series yet. We doubted that it would happen against the New Jersey Devils after their Game 1 win, yet Philadelphia now has to bounce back in Game 3 on May 3 to keep ... Five Flyers to Watch in Game 3 Against Devils: A Fan's Preview The Philadelphia Flyers can finally put their ugly Game 2 loss behind them when they take the ice for Game 3 against the New Jersey Devils on Thursday, May 3. This is a pivotal game in the series. The Flyers don't want to fall behind 2-1, so winning this game is going to be critical. On paper, the Flyers look like the better team . However, they were thoroughly outplayed against the Devils in ... Three Needs for Flyers in Game 3 Against Devils: A Fan's Look The Philadelphia Flyers will look to rebound from their worst game in a long time when they visit the New Jersey Devils for Game 3 on Thursday, May 3. With the series tied at a game apiece, this is a pivotal game that will go a long way in determining which team will advance. The Flyers have looked mostly flat so far in the series, and the offense really bottomed out in Game 2. As a fan, I have ... Flyers Have No Support for Bryzgalov in Game 2: A Fan's Take The Philadelphia Flyers have won a certain way for much of this season and the Stanley Cup playoffs. Most of the time it works, as Flyers fans like myself cheer for how a hot offense bails out Ilya Bryzgalov's soft play. But for a time in March, it was Bryzgalov who carried Philadelphia while the goal scorers went cold, until it went the other way around again to start the playoffs. Philadelphia Flyers Keys to Playoff Game 3 Versus the New Jersey Devils: Fan's Take The Philadelphia Flyers were beaten 4-1 by the New Jersey Devils in their Eastern Conference Semifinals game on Tuesday night. After traveling North to face their divisional foe in Game 3, Peter Laviolette will need to direct his squad in different ways if they hope to take a series lead. Flyers Start Hot, End Cold This Time in Game 2: A Fan's Recap The Philadelphia Flyers used their usual formula of starting cold and ending hot in Game 1 against the New Jersey Devils on April 29. This trend makes Flyers fans like myself fear hot starts more than cold ones, since Philadelphia seems like it wouldn't know what to do if it got off on the right foot. Unfortunately, New Jersey backed up this theory all too well in Game 2 on May 1. Devils 4, Flyers 3 (OT) NEWARK, N.J. -- Alexei Ponikarovsky scored with 2:39 left in overtime, and the New Jersey Devils beat the Philadelphia Flyers 4-3 in Game 3 Thursday night to take a 2-1 lead in their Eastern Conference semifinals series. Flyers need to go back to their bully roots vs. Devils During the regular season, the Flyers were kings of the road. No NHL team had more road victories, and the Flyers will need to resort to that winning, focus-for-60-minutes formula as the Turnpike Series with the New Jersey Devils shifts to Newark for Game 3 on Thursday night. Flyers Can Only Improve After Game 2 Letdown: A Fan's Take After the third period collapse in Game 2 against the New Jersey Devils, the Philadelphia Flyers were left with a lot of questions. Considering how flat the offense and power play have been over the first two games, the Flyers are pretty fortunate to have earned a split in the first two games. They waited a long time to get things going in the series opener before winning in overtime. After ... Devils wear down the Flyers Flyers goalie Ilya Bryzgalov was flawless through two periods. But the Flyers' offense and defense simultaneously crumbled and then disappeared under the pressure of New Jersey's relentless forecheck in the third period on Tuesday night.
