After the Detroit media made such a big deal about the Red Wings having the chance to become the third team in NHL history to recover from being down three games to none in a best of seven series, the Philadelphia Flyers eliminated the Boston Bruins last night to take that honor.
Even more amazing was that the Flyers also become the third team in NHL history to overcome a three goal deficit in a game seven. In what was a microcosm of the series, Boston stepped out to a three goal advantage before Philadelphia came back and scored four unanswered goals. They then held Boston off the board, Boston's best scoring opportunity coming on two six on fives, the first of which they’d neglected to pull their goalie on.
The Flyers, the East’s seventh seed, will face Montreal, the East’s eight seed and the team which has eliminated both Washington and Pittsburgh from the playoffs, on Sunday in the conference finals. San Jose, the West’s first seed, will face on Sunday the West’s number two seed, the Chicago Blackhawks.
